Bringing a strong message of hope, Phelps will deliver a heart warming benefit concert to the cast, crew and community of Colorado Springs, Co., who have joined forces to build a new home for one special family and their brave nine year old daughter, born with a rare and incurable disorder. Phelps’ performance will be broadcast to a weekly audience that exceeds 14 million viewers.

“When the family contacted me at a concert on tour this last summer, I was immediately captivated by their story. Their faith filled me with hope and I prayed that I would have a chance to help in whatever way I could. I'm always honored when my music touches someone so you can imagine why we were thrilled when we got the call that the family had been chosen and had requested that I was a part of it. My prayer is that with the help rising from the community, the EM staff, and supporters around the world the family can find a place of rest and peace in their new home."

This special primetime television performance follows on the heels of RIAA’s Gold certification of Phelps’ highly lauded first full-length solo DVD and live CD, Legacy of Love: David Phelps Live! The two-disc set of video and audio which was recorded at the historic Alabama Theatre to a capacity crowd, features 15 favorites as well as behind-the-scene interviews with Phelps’ family, home footage, outtakes and more.

The project includes a new recording of “Bring Him Home,” a tribute to the troops serving in the armed forces, original arrangements of the classics “There Is A River” and “How Great Thou Art,” the new favorite “Already There,” his hit song “The End of the Beginning;” and a stunning new version of the “Star Spangled Banner.”

As an acclaimed solo artist and a former member of the renowned Gaither Vocal Band, Phelps has impressed audiences internationally at over 100 performances a year including appearances at Billy Graham Mission crusades and before President George W. Bush at the White House. A three-time Gospel Music Association “Male Vocalist of the Year” nominee, Phelps joined the Gaither Vocal Band in 1997, where he would be featured on over 30 projects with the multi-Platinum group and was the recipient of a GRAMMY® and Dove Award, quickly becoming recognized as one of the preeminent voices in Christian music, and continues to wow crowds everywhere with his powerhouse vocals.

Phelps most recently released the Christmas album, One Wintry Night: A David Phelps Christmas, as well as No More Night: David Phelps Live in Birmingham on September 25, 2007.
