Sidewalk Prophets to Play at the Concert Benefiting She's My Sister Organization
Contemporary Inspirational band Sidewalk Prophets will be playing a concert that will benefit She's My Sister Organization. The concert will be held at the First Baptist Church on 1275 Stuart Road starting at 7:30pm, June 19, 2012. She's My Sister is a new initiative of American Bible Society.
The event will also feature eight cyclists who cycled from Daytona Beach, FL to New York City to raise awareness as well as funds to bring trauma healing programs that are Scripture-based to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Sidewalk Prophets recently finished their spring tour with Josh Wilson. During the tour the band played songs from their latest album called Live Like That. Live Like That was released just last month.
About She's My Sister:
She's My Sister is a new initiative of American Bible Society responding to vicious acts of war that have left women broken and children orphaned in the Great Lakes Region of central Africa. Using a proven program of Scripture-based trauma healing, we help women start their lives anew and birth restored societies from the ashes of national trauma. Through a consortium of faith-based groups, we help local leaders provide holistic programs of restoration.

About Sidewalk Prophets:
Their background may have made it look easy-after all, Sidewalk Prophets toured with Jeremy Camp and Audio Adrenaline on the strength of independent albums, then rode the popularity of their first Word Records release, These Simple Truths, to a Dove Award for Best New Artist and a nomination for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year. "The Words I Would Say" hit #3, "You Can Have Me" went Top 20, a Christmas single, "Hope Was Born This Night," hit the Top 10, and "You Love Me Anyway" went all the way to #1 on the Billboard Christian Singles chart. The band has toured with the Rock and Worship Roadshow with MercyMe and Francesca Battistelli, among others, and landed another Dove nomination for Group of the Year in 2011.
The reality, though, like that of the seemingly placid duck whose feet are pumping furiously underwater, is something else altogether.
