WASHINGTON, DC…. ONE Vote ’08 will host concerts at churches in Nevada and Iowa to channel the energy and compassion of local faith
communities into the movement to combat extreme poverty, hunger and global disease.
Recording artists Sonicflood, known as the “Fathers of Modern Worship Music” will headline the church concerts. Since releasing their first album in 1999, Sonicflood has sold over 1.5 million records, been nominated for a Grammy award and won the Dove Award for Praise & Worship Album of the Year. The band has also been deeply involved in charity and mission work throughout the world, including work with the International Mission Board and Compassion International. More on Sonicflood can be found at the bands website, www.sonicflood.com.
“The need for relief in our world is overwhelming and it is our desire is to see a miraculous change through a united force of love – many acting as one. As followers of Jesus Christ, we believe that our Lord calls us to a life of surrender and self sacrifice so that this world will see His glorious love revealed. With Christ as our example, let us reach out to this hurting world – healing the sick, feeding the hungry and touching the untouchable. I pray that our love is more than just words but that our love is taking action and together we can move the highest mountain,” says SONICFLOOd lead singer Rick Heil.
The faith concerts are the latest in a flurry of activity in the early primary states by ONE Vote ’08 to raise awareness and visibility of the fight against extreme poverty and AIDS among primary voters and throughout the 2008 election.
The faith concerts also come a week before the first-ever ONE Sabbath, a faith initiative by ONE to give local churches the tools to put their faith into action for the world’s poorest people. Congregations across America have been signing up at www.one.org/faith to participate in ONE Sabbath, which will take place over the weekend of November 23, 2007.
