On the night after the earthquake in Haiti, survivors gathered across the capital, and the sound of singing pierced Port-au-Prince's darkness. Now Christian artists have united to lift their own songs and pierce the darkness of despair with the sound of healing and hope in Jesus Christ.

By purchasing this benefit album, you can stand with us to care for and comfort thousands of hurting Haitians. A minimum of $5.00 per copy of the album sold will be donated to Haiti earthquake relief, including clean water, shelter, survival supplies, medical care, and other critical aid from Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, organizations all of us at New Breed are passionate about.

THE POWER OF ONE Makes Three for Israel Houghton

Acclaimed Worship Artist/Songwriter Wins 3rd GRAMMY® Award

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (February 1, 2010) –Multi-talented worship leader, songwriter and recording artist Israel Houghton won his third consecutive GRAMMY® last night during the 52^nd Annual GRAMMY® Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. Houghton took home the award for “Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album” for his critically-acclaimed CD The Power Of One and also was honored with a “Best Gospel Song” nomination for “Every Prayer” from The Power of One.

Previously, Houghton and his powerhouse musical ensemble New Breed won a GRAMMY® in 2008 for A Deeper Level and in 2007 for Alive in South Africa. This year’s win marks his first GRAMMY® as a “solo” artist.

“It’s really an honor to be nominated for such a prestigious award,” says Houghton. “And to win is such a surreal experience…I'm so moved that the message in the music was embraced and appreciated.”

The “message” of the genre-blending album is one of hope, redemption and revelation, especially the title track, which expresses Houghton’s passion for social justice.

“I strongly believe that those of us who consider ourselves worshippers need to have a heart for social justice,” says Houghton who will be in Toronto for a Haiti benefit concert on Feb. 12.

In addition to his career as a recording artist, Israel Houghton is a worship leader at Houston’s Lakewood Church and a spokesman for international relief agency World Vision. He is the recipient of six Dove Awards, two Stellar Awards, a Soul Train Award and three GRAMMY Awards. Additional information is available at www.israelhoughton.net and www.integritymusic.com.
