Grammy- and Dove- nominated rock worship band Leeland is gearing up for the release of their third album, Love Is On The Move, on August 25.”Worship, justice and action are not separate,” explains lead singer and guitarist Leeland Mooring about the theme of the album. “They are united. They work together. When you have an amazing encounter with God and you experience His love during worship, the fruit of that should be your life overflowing with action and love – justice – to the world around you.”This is a band that puts their actions where their words are. In February, Leeland and his brother, keyboardist Jack Mooring, were selected by the White House to participate in the Compassion in Action Roundtable, spotlighting the innovative leadership of an emerging generation of social entrepreneurs in America. On top of non-stop touring across the U.S. and Japan, the band also partners with Christian relief organization Food for the Hungry, and has recently taken outreach trips to Africa and Asia, and attended Hillsong Church’s 2008 Conference in Australia.For more about Leeland, visit the band’s website.Click here to subscribe to Gospel Soundcheck by email and have the Gospel Soundcheck headlines delivered daily to your email inbox.
