Sanctus Real is having quite an exciting week! Their latest album, Run, has been nominated for a Dove Award for Best Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year. They just released their brand new music video for their latest hit single, "Pray," which is currently charting on the AC Monitored charts. And, Sanctus Real's very own Matt Hammitt and Mark Graalman just returned from a trip with Compassion International to El Salvador.

"This week has been an exciting one for us! To return from an amazing Compassion International trip, to hearing that Run was nominated for a Dove Award, and now getting to release what I feel is possibly our most visually stunning video to date is just a really good feeling! We're very humbled by all this and truly feeling thankful to The Lord for all of His goodness to us." - Mark Graalman, Sanctus Real
