Planetshakers has partnered with Biblica and HarperCollins Christian Publishing to distribute Bibles and copies of the band's new album, #LETSGO, in the Philippines. The giveaway is part of Planetshakers’ larger event, Planetshakers LIVE!, to promote the new album release.

Planetshakers LIVE! is a 90-minute special that will broadcast live Monday, Sept. 21 at 8:30 p.m. EST on Daystar Television Network. The special is presented by Planetshakers, Daystar Television Network, Integrity Music and Church of God World Missions.

Robert Morris, senior pastor of Gateway Church, said his church is sponsoring the event.

“We are honored to come alongside Planetshakers, Daystar and Integrity Music to help reach millions around the globe with the Good News of the gospel while also helping to create a worship experience where believers can connect with God,” Morris said.

In addition to the Planetshakers LIVE! broadcast, the event will be simulcast as a free “Watch Party” at the Church of God Dasmariñas in the Philippines. The location and giveaway was chosen after Planetshakers heard stories of concert attendees who made significant sacrifices to be able to travel and see the group in concert. For every album purchased on the day of the event, #LETSGO will be given to an attendee in the Philippines. Additionally, up to 2,000 English-language NIV Bibles will be donated.

Biblica and HarperCollins Christian issued a joint statement about the event.

“Biblica and HarperCollins Christian Publishing together are humbled and honored by the opportunity to provide 2,000 NIV Bibles free of charge to people in the Philippines, many of which do not have a Bible,” they said. “Our hope and prayer is that lives will be transformed by God’s Word.”

Tim Hill, general director, Church of God World Missions, said he is excited to help with this project.

“I'm elated that Church of God World Missions can join with Daystar in the global launch of Planetshakers’ new recording,” said Hill. “It's especially meaningful to see this kingdom opportunity come to the Philippines where the Church of God has over 800 congregations. The cooperative efforts of Pastor and National Bishop Anthony Velasco, his great Dasmariñas church and many others will result in an unprecedented harvest in the Philippines just as it will all over the world."

Planetshakers recently received its second consecutive Long Form Video of the Year Dove Award nomination for the group's 2014 release, This Is Our Time.
