Higher
Power Quartet was founded in 1996. The ministry has always been centered out
of Des Moines, Iowa, although the members of the group live in several of
the surrounding communities in central Iowa.
The members of the group include Nate Bradford from
Pleasant Hill; Mark Moklestad from Sheldahl;
Rod Johnson from
Windsor Heights; and Steve Mickelson from Kelley.
The purpose
of Higher Power is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through
song to those who do not know Him, and to encourage those who do
know Him to come to a closer relationship with Him. Each of
the members has a long history of musical experiences. Higher
Power has opened for numerous professional gospel groups (i.e.,
Bill Gaither, Signature Sounds, The Booth Brothers, Gold City,
The Talley Trio). We have also recorded 14 CD projects.
Higher Power’s Ministry
Higher Power has had the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with
many Christian organizations and community organizations for the
purpose of sharing God’s Good News and His love throughout the
Midwest. Each year Higher Power performs at church services,
special church events, gospel sings, community events, and
private events. I am the booking agent for the group. We only
ask for a freewill offering to be taken after the concert to
help cover our travel expenses. It is Higher Power’s
desire to be faithful to God’s calling, but also faithful to our
families and home churches.
A Higher Power Concert
Each Higher Power concert is tailored to the specification of
each organization. A typical concert would include anywhere from
30 minutes to two hours of songs, sharing, and personal
testimonies. Higher Power provides the sound system, a
multimedia presentation, and many other special features for
making the performance professional and enjoyable. Higher Power
sings Southern Gospel, Accapella, and Traditional Gospel music
styles. People from all ages enjoy the special mixture of songs,
words of encouragement, and words of conviction presented at
each concert.

Higher Power‘s Purpose
The purpose of Higher Power is to share the gospel of Jesus
Christ through song to those who do not know Him, and to
encourage those who do know Him to come to a closer relationship
with Him.
“Each one should use whatever
gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering
God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do
it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he
should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all
things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the
glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:10-11
NIV)
