Rob E. Zweifel: Bio

Despite being raised in a Christian home and being and active member of his church, Rob’s church involvement did not always mirror his personal relationship with the Lord. It had never occurred to Rob, whose musical influences were early British invasion bands and the American artists who influenced them, that music with a beat was appropriate in worship. “I became accustomed to a separation between the music you listen to on Sunday morning and the music you listen to the rest of the week. That only led to separating the things I did and said in that same manner.”

While forming a new band, the Lord brought bassist, Lee Billy, into his life. Lee had surrendered himself to Christ just prior to the two musicians coming together. In 1999, the two were introduced to Christian rock and modern praise and worship. This was the first that Rob realized that he could write and play music he enjoys, and use it to bring glory to the Lord. Immediately, Rob began including spiritual songs in his sets. The music quickly evolved into exclusively praise and worship, a reflection of his new relationship with Jesus.

In 2003, he recorded Project Praise, a collection of praise and worship songs that had especially ministered to his soul during that time in his life. In 2004, God gifted him with more musical support with the addition of keyboardist and vocalist, Jenn Stumer, whose love for Jesus is poured out though her harmonies. Currently, this fruitful itinerant ministry is bringing concerts of praise to churches coffeehouses, community events and other venues at the Lord’s leading. Together, Rob, Lee, and Jenn have recorded the CD, "Sound Sound," released in 2008.

REZ Music Ministry is also proud to be a part of the volunteer network of Gospel For Asia. An important part of each praise concert is the raising of awareness of GFA’s native missionaries in the most unreached areas of the world. Stories are shared of churches being planted in these dark nations and of the lives being eternally changed. May God continue to bless the Kingdom work of this partnership, and to Him be the glory!
