Elevation Worship – For The Honor

If you are not familiar with the guys with Elevation Worship, at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC – you need to be. They are all-stars when it comes to talent, heart, and music creation. The original music that is flowing from the heartbeat of the church is top notch. That said, they are going to be releasing their 4th album on November 21st. This is going to be the first live album they have released, which will also have a DVD option. This is not going to be your typical album release.

They are linking arms with Compassion’s Child Survival Program to help support the women and children in Kamwokya, one of the poorest slums in Kampala, Uganda. Globally, most children don’t reach their 5th birthday because of completely preventable causes such as diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition and they wanted to be a part of changing that in this community. So they will be giving all the proceeds from the album release day away to bring hope through this cause. You can read all the details of the Initiative here: http://www.elevationworship.com/honorcompassion/

I have had the opportunity to listen to the entire album and can personally tell you it is absolutely amazing. So here’s the deal – November 21st, hop on iTunes or where ever you buy music and pickup this album. You’re going to be helping save a childs life and get a rockin’ worship album all at the same time. To give you a little taste of what you expect here is the trailer for the album.
