"Not Without Effect"
We believe that God has called each one of us to be a part of HIS ministry and we plan to give it all we have to follow that purpose. Ruins Restored is a Christian rock band that consists of lead vocalist Malin Hayes, guitarist Jason Kirk, drummer David Coleman, and bass guitarist Travis Barksdale. We are based out of Birmingham, Alabama. We are a group of people that wish to follow Gods plan for our life and lead others in worshipping Jesus Christ through music. We find strength in our faith to our Lord and Savior. We love to have fun but we know the importance of our calling to praise God with our music. Our mission is to spread the word of Jesus Christ through the music we make and the lives we lead.
We know that HIS plans are only about the soul winning of those who are lost. We have faith that we can see those plans come to pass through the music of Ruins Restored. The kind of music that worships and honors our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ruins Restored is actively performing for various venues and we are looking forward to a busy schedule. We are excited at the opportunities we have to perform and minister to youth groups, conferences, and special events. In great anticipation, we are about to begin the recording of our first album as well. God is so good and we are so incredibly blessed.
We just wrapped up recording with award winning producer, Barry Blair. He is best known for his work with Audio Adrenaline, Sanctus Real, and many other amazing bands. We are very thankful for all of his hard work and friendship.
We would sincerely appreciate if you would please pray for us. Pray for each one of us as individuals and for our families. Please pray that God’s will shall be done through the ministry of Ruins Restored. Please pray that we may go out, spread the message of Jesus Christ, and that this ministry will win souls for the glory of God.
We would also like to thank Strong Tower Management Group and Bridgette Marriott, our manager, who does a wonderful job managing us and getting our music out there. She is definetly one of the best!
Thank you for stopping by and checking in on us. God Bless you always!

"I had the opportunity to have Ruins Restored come to Amp’d Student Ministry for an event. I was very impressed with their heart for Christ, and how they related with the students at First Baptist Church of Orlando, Florida. We really enjoyed their music and we know that we will have them back again soon."

“Ruins Restored is the real deal! I had them come and lead a Wednesday night service for our youth group and several other youth groups also came. They are a very genuine, sincere group. God had blessed them so much with singing and musical talent. It is exciting to see a group of people use there talents for the Lords work! Malin shared his testimony and it hit home with a lot of teens that were here that night. Keep up the great work and God will use you in unbelievable ways. Thanks for all you do!â€
