Integrity Music has partnered with Influence Resources for a new initiative that expands on "Integrity's 25-year heritage of harvesting and sharing songs for the global church," company officials said. "It is an honor to partner with the Assemblies of God and their Influence Resources product line to provide a platform for some of the best songs and voices coming out of their church movement," said Integrity Music Vice President of Music Publishing/Ministry Alliances Craig Dunnagan. "It has been an exciting journey of building relationships and capturing the sounds of a new generation of leaders. We believe these songs will go around the world." To be released Aug. 6, We Believe was recorded this spring at the 714 Conference, held on the campus of the Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Dallas. The album is part of the "One: A Worship Collective" series, an initiative that will feature partnerships to harvest "home-grown" songs from local ministries for the global church. An 11-song, live worship album produced by John Hartley (Leigh Nash, Aaron Keyes, Twila Paris, Chris McClarney), We Believe was produced in partnership with Influence Resources, which aims to impact believers in a way that inspires them to influence their world for Christ. "The partnership between Influence Resources and Integrity Music to create a product with a powerful message of faith is another step in the journey of creatively resourcing the church," said Influence Resources Vice President of Publishing Steve Blount. "We believe the best days are ahead of us." Songwriters and worship leaders from several states joined together for We Believe, including Clayton Brooks (The Oaks Fellowship in Red Oak, Texas); Ryan Williams (River Valley Church in Minneapolis); Kurtis Parks (National Community Church in Washington, D.C.); Elmer Cañas Jr. (Calvary Church in Irving, Texas); Micah Massey (Free Chapel in Gainesville, Ga.); and Texas-based Christine D'Clario.
