Hillsong United Worships Out Loud In Manila

Hillsong United, the worship team who popularized "One Way", went live in front of 8,000 who gathered to worship with them in Ninoy Aquino Stadium on November 21, 2006. The concert was one of the band's Asian Tour stops supporting their exploding popularity on the Christian music charts. The concert was brought to Manila by Live Fish and Praise Music.

United sang familiar songs in the fully jampacked auditorium inside the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex. Even when the event was scheduled in a regular working day, people trooped to the venue to worship with the group and be blessed in high spirits.

Hours before the event, WM Communications Asia-Pacific was able to interview the band on site for it’s Perfect Rhythm youth radio show. Perfect Rhythm host Jordan Escusa, together with Darlene Malimas of CBN Asia, and LJ Ramos of Far East Broadcasting Company trooped to the Auditorium's media room at around three o-clock to await the arrival of Hillsong United members. As soon as they arrived, the interviewers took turns to ask about the group's ministry. The complete Perfect Rhythm episode including the Hillsong United interview can we listened to via Podcast on our website.

Phil Dooley delivered the message of God during the momentous night of worship. The proceeds from the concert go to Living Free Foundation.

You can now get the worship group's latest album, "United: We Stand" at any House of Praise outlet, or you can visit www.praise.com.ph for more details.
