Integrity Music, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse to Release Healing 4 Haiti March 2

Christian Music Artists Unite to Raise Money for Haiti Relief Efforts

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 25, 2010 – More than a dozen award-winning artists are combining their musical talents to help make sure desperately needed relief supplies continue flowing into Haiti, where the struggle for survival continues for hundreds of thousands of earthquake victims.   

Healing 4 Haiti is a collection of 15 songs from Christian music's leading artists and worship leaders and includes the anthem "Come Together Now (Music City Unites For Haiti)," penned by Michael W. Smith, Cindy Morgan and David Mullen and featuring a host artists. The songlist also includes tracks from Israel Houghton, DecembeRadio, Kari Jobe, The Afters, Hawk Nelson and many more plus an exclusive version of Jared Anderson's new song, "Carry Me."

Healing 4 Haiti will be released by Integrity Music at iTunes on Tuesday, March 2 with a retail release slated for March 16. A minimum of $5 per copy of the album sold will be donated to Haiti earthquake relief. The donations will be used to provide clean water, shelter, medical care and other critical aid from Samaritan's Purse. It will also support the work of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's Rapid Response Team, which had chaplains on the ground within 24 hours of the earthquake providing emotional and spiritual comfort to survivors. Additionally, net proceeds from "Come Together Now (Music City Unites for Haiti)" will go to the Haiti relief efforts of Samaritan's Purse and the American Red Cross.

"Every artist and every individual who can use their talent and ability to shed light on those in need, when it's all added together, it makes a huge difference," says Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association/Samaritan's Purse. "My prayer is that God will use Healing 4 Haiti to touch the hearts of this nation to give generously to the suffering people of Haiti."

"What I saw while in Haiti is something we must keep in front of the minds and hearts of Americans," adds GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Michael W. Smith. "The recovery efforts are going to take a long, long time so we want to do anything we can to raise awareness and to continue to support organizations doing good work in Haiti."
