In addition to the internationally recorded album, SONICFLOOd, the forefathers of modern worship, will be embarking on a nationwide tour with the International Missions Board, which began last week in Charleston, South Carolina and will continue hitting more than 60 venues and 23 states.
"Its time for God's people to know that they are a part of something so huge and so wonderful and that right now we have brothers and sisters on the other side of the planet that love us and are praying for us," explains frontman Rick Heil. "When we went overseas this summer we had a chance to record the sounds of every crowd we worshiped with, and then blended them together to create a symphony of praise...it's beautiful! On top of sonically recording the concerts, we brought along an HD camera to capture the sights of putting this kind of extensive project together." "Glimpse: Live Recordings From Around The World" captures the spirit and passion that this pioneering modern worship band has for global missions.
The live recording includes fan favorites such as: "Your Love Goes On Forever," "Cry Holy," "Open the Eyes of My Heart" and "I Want to Know You." "Glimpse," releasing on October 31, also features two new studio recordings ("Infinite Love" and "Save Me") as well as a bonus DVD including the making of "Glimpse" and two music videos for "Everlasting" and "This Generation." The IMB missions' tour will be a multi-media experience for the concertgoers, which will include video footage from the mission field in addition to their performance. Also keynote missionaries will be speaking to encourage others to learn more about missions.
"Through the IMB partnership with Sonicflood, God has provided an exciting new way for us to mobilize students for international missions," shares Mike Lopez, director of IMB Student Mobilization Department. "As students hear, see, and experience the missions message delivered through these concerts, we pray that thousands will commit their lives to declaring His glory to every nation."
"For what we see now is but a glimpse but soon we will see face to face. Worship takes us to greater and greater revelation and my prayer is that God would increase our expectation so that we might see His wonders as we worship Him with all our hearts! We pray that the Lord will use these recordings to heal His bride, the church" Heil states of their mission. Check out the band's website for more info.
