Its second U.S. tour in four months, Planetshakers eagerly moves forward with its mission to raise up a new generation for the church. Kicking off next month, the ministry will visit churches in Memphis, Tenn., and San Antonio, Texas, among other markets.
Charley Redmond of the CR Group comments, "The response we received from venues that hosted a Planetshakers event in June was remarkable. Kids loved the high-energy praise music and youth ministers were amazed at Planetshakers' ability to connect with its young audience. We anticipate an equally rewarding experience this fall."
"It's one thing to be a planet shaker, it's another thing to be a planet shaper. These guys were both," comments Warren Beemer with John Hagee Ministries at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas. "They impacted our kids both with their interaction and their worship. We love them, and we can't wait to have them back."
(My King) Live Praise & Worship is Planetshakers' second U.S. release this year. The joint CD/DVD is available in stores Aug. 24 through Word Records and features live songs from Planetshakers' spring record Open Up the Gates. Written by the ministry's worship pastors Henry Seeley and Sam Evans, (My King) was recorded at Paradise Community Church in Adelaide Australia.
Planetshakers originated in 1997 as a ministry conference for local youth groups. Today, Planetshakers events continue to draw youth from Australia and beyond, seeing more than 20,000 participants in 2004. Planetshakers has become Australia's best-selling youth product line and second only to Hillsongs in overall sales.
