Who We Are

Joel Brovont isn’t just another Christian artist, but a poet who sings. Writing since a child, Joel has perfected the art of communication, allowing him to reach people right where they are. Sharing stories from his life and insights from Scripture through his music, message and quick, witty humor, Joel’s desire is to bring people into a better understanding of whom Christ is and His forgiving grace.

“I always thought I was a believer,” says Brovont, “I was told that if I prayed a prayer, somehow the magic power of Jesus covered me and I was good to go on with MY life. But that prayer didn’t change the fact that I still thought it was MY life. I read the parts of the Bible that convicted me on aspects of myself that I was comfortable changing. There was no accountability from anyone, not even my ‘Christian’ friends.”

“My wife Cara and I had been friends since childhood. When her husband Derek died in a farming accident, something changed inside of me — something that said

the truth of God's word could be a pretty dangerous thing to skirt around if you're only going to live to be 24. As Cara and I talked more and more, He used her to

challenge me to evaluate why I do what I do. It was at this point a real transformation started taking place, and I recommitted myself to Jesus Christ, striving to serve Him in all things and be an encouragement and a witness to His true life changing power in the lives of people who put their trust in Him.”

With his debut CD project called It’s About You, Joel has already seen God’s workings through his music. ‘Forgiven’, the first song on It’s About You, was selected for a CD compilation called Unified by Grace produced by Quickstar Productions. Proceeds from the CD will go towards purchasing anti-malarial medicine for people in Uganda. He also had the opportunity to take part in “The

Breathe Tour” and a 2008 GMA showcase in Nashville, Tennessee.

Whether Joel Brovont is opening for artists such as MarkShultz or 33 Miles, leading worship or performing in churches throughout the country, one thing is pretty clear; his desire to reach lives for Christ and his passion to use his music to do so. This year, if you are a church, a Christian event planner or a men’s group leader,

bring in an artist who can not only sing, but can effectively communicate God’s message. We believe that Joel Brovont is the artist to do just that and we’re sure

you will too!

In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

-Romans 8:37

Cara Brovont’s story is remarkable… a remarkable story of faith, that is. She has been tested in the fire and come back refined. She has felt the touch of and seen God’s love in her darkest hour. Because of her faith and trust, Cara understands God’s love on a level some people can’t even fathom. Cara’s deepest desire for others is for them to see God’s love and the sufficiency of Jesus Christ.

“I lost my first husband in a farming accident,” says Cara. “He was a feed mill manager at a hog farm and was delivering feed and somehow he got caught in the augur. After being widowed at 23 with two small children, I became so bold in my faith. I remember sitting down to make the funeral arrangements and saying to the man working with me: ‘Before I talk to you about what plot I want, I want to ask you a question. Do you believe in God?’ From there I started sharing the gospel with him.

Cara’s trust and reliance on God not only took her through tough times, but brought her back around to the point of marrying her best friend Joel Brovont. Joel not only said ‘I do’ to Cara but to her two daughters, to be their father, and to love them as though they were his biological children.

Along with being a blessed mom of three and the wife of Joel, you’ll find Cara active in her home church. She also enjoys speaking at events such as the IFRBC Conference, MOPS group, Circle of Hearts Ladies Fellowships and Mother/Daughter events.

Cara Brovont’s story will reach everyone on some level, from the loss of someone important in our lives to just needing to know God is truly there for us, no matter what happens. It’s a story of love and trust, spanning emotions from pain to encouragement. You will listen, sometimes with tears of empathy, sometimes tears of laughter, but with the full knowledge that this is one story you really want to hear Cara tell.
