Planetshakers Teaming with Israel Houghton For Their New Album "This is Our Time"

Planetshakers Band, the worship team from one of Melbourne, Australia's fastest growing church, is set to release "This is Our Time" on October 21, 2014.  Released through Integrity Music, this CD/DVD was recorded at this year's annual Planetshakers Awakening event in Melbourne. 

Joining Planetshakers is five-time GRAMMY Award winner Israel Houghton who co-writes for the first time with Planetshakers Band's worship leader, guitarist and producer, Joth Hunt, worship leader and co-senior pastor, Sam Evans, and other band members. The collaboration led to three stand-out-tracks, including the Jesus-centered worship anthems "Covered" and "Stronger Than A Thousand Seas," as well as "Water Is Rising," an impassioned declaration of God's active presence in today's world and an invitation to press into His movement.

"We are called to be the person God has created us to be," says Hunt. "To the father or mother, entrepreneur or artist or with whatever unique gifts we've collectively been given, we are to share that with the world. This is our time to show the love of Christ to others, to be the servant. This goes deeper than having a good time, it goes beyond having an emotional response. We're seeing people connect with these songs, being encouraged and challenged by the messages."

"It's a very unique time for us in Planetshakers," adds Evans. "We are seeing this message of hope and action in the new album resonating with people, and seeing firsthand the fruit of that in people's lives.  It's something that everyone can be a part of, whether here in Australia, in Europe, Asia, the Philippines or the US... all around the world, we're seeing people step up and worship God in spirit and truth like we've never seen before."

In addition to the new album, Planetshakers Band has also released its first full-length album in Spanish, Nada Es Imposible (Nothing Is Impossible), and released two 2014 Dove Award nominated projects: Children's Music Album of the Year nominee Nothing Is Impossible, and the Long Form Video of the Year nominee, Endless Praise, which is available as a CD/DVD.
