“Convoy of Hope is incredibly blessed by this partnership with FOR KING + COUNTRY. I truly appreciate Joel and Luke’s hearts for the work that Convoy of Hope does and their desire to relieve the suffering of Ukrainians,” said Convoy President and Co-Founder, Hal Donaldson. “The money they are helping to raise will bring much-needed relief to people inside Ukraine and refugees in the countries surrounding it.”
Through partners across Europe, Convoy of Hope is providing shelter, food, water, hygiene kits and other necessities to Ukrainian refugees in five Eastern European countries. As the war continues to displace women, children and elderly individuals, Convoy of Hope has teams on the ground working to bring emergency relief.
FOR KING + COUNTRY’s Joel and Luke Smallbone said, “We’ve put together a special performance from the Mojave Desert playing a good portion of the new record to celebrate and commemorate the launch, and also raise funding for Convoy of Hope as they bring supplies and shelter to Ukrainian refugees in several countries.”
WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?, FOR KING + COUNTRY’s fourth studio project, features the talents of brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone, with 13 new original tracks that confront relevant issues and confirm the duo’s commitment to community, unity and family. Set against a sonic backdrop painted by the Platinum-selling group’s lush, vivid pop, the collection features cameos from Dante Bowe, Kirk Franklin and Tori Kelly, and includes barrier-breaking single “RELATE,” awe-inspiring “For God Is With Us” and unifying No. 1 hit “TOGETHER.” “What Are We Waiting For? – The Tour” will take FOR KING + COUNTRY to arenas across the United States, performing brand new songs from its upcoming album for the first time, against the backdrop of an all-new stage design.
