Desperation Band

Desperation Band, birthed out of the student ministries of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, is a recording artist with Integrity Music. They are best known for writing songs like “Rescue”, “I Am Free”, “My Savior Lives”, “You Hold It All’, “Overcome”, and more.  Desperation Band’s songs are sung in churches throughout America and around the world.

Led by Jon Egan, the band has found great purpose in “Heartwork”, a ministry to the orphans of the world that started with New Life’s student ministry Tag. This movement has turned the young people involved upside down for the kingdom.  Starting June of 2010 at the Desperation Conference, Heartwork is launching the “1k Campaign”.  1,000 orphan projects built by 1,000 student ministries in 1,000 days.

The band has always been more of a ministry than a band.  They don’t perform or entertain.  They want to join with real people to worship a real God.  The Desperation Band exists to advance His Kingdom and to pray as Jesus told us… “your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
