Worship leader Tommy Walker, whose first-ever national studio recording I Have A Hope debuted this week, will lead worship as part of a Foursquare simulcast event on April 5th. The album is already receiving rave reviews including a 4 1/2 star rating from Christianity Today online that calls I Have A Hope “masterful worship writing, which is driven by smart-fully worded expressions of praise, a firm grasp of congregational-friendly melodies, and the freedom and confidence to use instruments for God’s glory.”

The upcoming Jack Hayford satellite broadcast will feature Walker alongside fellow worship leader Darlene Zschech from Hillsong Church in Australia, and Pastor Jack Hayford, president of The Foursquare Church. The multi-session worship event will reach thousands of churches nation-wide via Christian Communications Network (CCN). More information on broadcast times and how to participate can be found here. Registered participants of the event will each receive a copy of I Have A Hope from Maranatha! Music.

As President of The Foursquare Church, pastor and best-selling author Jack Hayford has become an acknowledged “bridge-builder,” helping to forge healthy bonds among all segments of the Church. His message will be an invitation for churches to contend in prayer, praise and action for God’s glory to cover the earth.

Tommy Walker has been serving in a worship leader role for over 15 years alongside some of the most renowned church leaders in the world including Jack Hayford, Bill Hybels, Franklin Graham, Rick Warren, and Greg Laurie. He currently has over 100 songs on the CCLI chart which are being sung in churches nation-wide and abroad including staple such as “No Greater Love”, “Mourning Into Dancing”, “He Knows My Name” and “That’s Why We Praise Him”. With eight live recordings to his credit, Walker has lead worship teams to the Philippines, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Guatemala, Zambia, Brazil and most recently Jerusalem. Also notable is a 2006 Dove Award Choral Collection of the Year nomination for Great and Marvelous: Celebrating the Songs of Tommy Walker.

Other upcoming key appearances for Walker include the National Christian Musician’s Summit, Liberty University, and the National Worship Leader Conference (Worship Leader Magazine). Songs from I Have A Hope will also be featured on SongDISCovery and The Invitation Series with both a Soul2Soul radio special airing on March 28th and the Heart of Worship radio special airing in April.
