1.17.11 “Love on the outside E.P.” Produced by Aaron Gillespie coming 4.3.12

Last week, Grammy-Nominated Aaron Gillespie (Underoath, The Almost) flew into Baltimore to produce our new album being released on 4.3.12. Originally, we had planned to call the album “The Red Sea EP”, however, as the songwriting, re-writing, demos, and actual recording began to take form, we quickly realized that this album had a much different meaning.

As Aaron Gillespie learned about what our band does “off stage” (The Hunger Strike, child sponsorship with Food for the Hungry, living amongst the poor, etc), he mentioned that our band is an example of how followers of Jesus should “Love on the outside”. As we recorded the 5 best songs that we have ever written, the album took on a tone of passionate worship & lyrics challenging the listener to simply “do what the Bible says”. (Don’t worry rock fans, we still have some good rock anthems on the record for you).

Therefore, today, we are happy to announce that the new name of our E.P. being released in April is: Love on the outside E.P. (Produced by Aaron Gillespie) We plan to release the 1st single off of this album in February.   *(All pre-orders & kick-starter pledges for “the red sea e.p.” will be honored towards this album).

9.19.11 Willet returns to Mozambique, Africa w/ Food for the Hungry

On October 17th, 2011, we will be returning to Gorongosa, Mozambique with a team of 10 people from the states to visit our friends in a community where we have been assisting with child sponsorship with our partner Food for the Hungry. We will be joined by our dad Pastor Glen Willet, Jeremy’s wife Kathleen (flying in from Uganda), Willet drummer Tyler Klusmann, former Willet drummer Caleb Douglass, and amazing friends from Maryland, Ron Zepp and Pete & Kim Green.

Since our visit last October, we have seen almost 500 children sponsored from this community through our tour dates in the U.S. THANK YOU!! To sponsor a child with Willet & FH, please click here.

Please join us in prayer as we prepare for this trip. Pray for the many children that still live in extreme poverty. Pray for our missionary friends on the ground that work daily to share the love of Jesus and assist with physical needs. And finally, pray that God would use us in a mighty way during our brief visit in Mozambique for His glory. Enjoy a slideshow of photos from our last Africa trip to our song, “Shelter” off our latest album:
