With more than 10,000 discs sold, this is the first time the group tops the tally in its decade-plus distribution in the United States. Hillsong United is currently in the middle of a world tour in support of the new album, with upcoming stops planned for select U.S. cities plus New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico.
"With the tour and new record, our hope is to stir up a generation both locally and globally to live lives that are sold out for God and His Cause," said Joel Houston, Hillsong United's creative director as well as worship leader, "lives that are committed to being His hands and feet on the planet, and to bringing justice to the hurting and the broken."
Hillsong United has also recently launched a new movement called "The I Heart Revolution." Through it, they hope to unite the world by showing their travels all around the globe, and how God has impacted each of the regions they visited. In the compiled documentary, they will show video from Asia, South America, Europe, Africa, and Australia from over the last 12 months.
"It became so clear that God is doing something significant among young people," said Houston in a statement. "Regardless of language or geography, whenever they worshipped God, something powerful happened."
The international tour is scheduled to last until August 7, ending in Tacoma, Washington.
