Inspirational Performing Arts Ministry

Nels Ross uplifts people throughout North America and abroad with his side-splitting, gravity-defying performances, presentations, and playshops. As a Christian, he strives to minister through all of the above, believing that wholehearted laughter is like a cup of cold water to a thirsty soul.

In addition to spreading laughter and joy, Nels enjoys working with churches and ministries to share the Good News and to provide programs that blend "holy foolishness" with a message or theme.

Presentations can be geared toward adults, youth, or families, and they can be customized for retreats, conferences, banquets, outreach, and other special events. "Playshops" add hands-on fun, as participants learn juggling and related skills.

Nels uses his talents to serve churches and ministries in the U.S. and Canada, as well as on missions trips and at events such as Iron Sharpens Iron and Kingdom Bound. He is also active with youth and music ministry at Community of Grace in Amherst, NY.
