Third Day

Third Day in the United Kingdom
Aiding Charities

San Diego, Ca. July 2, 2007 – Multi Platinum, Grammy and Dove Award-winning Christian rockers Third Day, were in the United Kingdom in May. This was a rare opportunity for our Christian Music friends across the pond. And it was all to raise money for charity.

They played in nightclubs, Churches, the Royal Albert Hall, and a legendary rock club in Scotland. There were songs heard from their latest album “Wherever You Are”, but they also performed some classics hits from the past. After all, if you only get to see Third Day once in a short while they deserved to see one of America’s favorite rockers perform them all. They drew over 3000 to their show in London, and excited young and old alike to good old US of A Southern-rock.

At the same time, the crowds at three of the tour’s stops - Cardiff, Belfast and Glasgow - dug deep into their pockets for the charities: Ignite India Churches, which helps a ministry in India called Gateway with church building construction in rural villages; and Friendly Faces Foundation, which aids in getting child slaves forced to work in the fishing industry in Ghana released.

“Of all the tours when I travel with Third Day, concerts in my home country are some of the most special,” said Nigel James, Third Day’s longtime road pastor. “In each place the crowd really got behind our desire to help projects in Ghana and India. We’ve already got a school compound in India called ‘Come Together’ and now we might well build a ‘Third Day’ sponsored church in a small village!

In all they raised over $18,000. “It was fantastic to have Third Day back in the UK, and especially to give some profile to the work we are supporting in Ghana rescuing child slaves. Gary Smith from Ignite, and I, look forward to promoting bigger and better concerts with Third Day in the coming years.”

Over the past ten years, Third Day has amassed 24 No.1 radio singles and sold almost six million albums, with RIAA certifications including one Platinum record, one Platinum DVD, and six Gold records. The band has totaled 24 career Dove Awards, three GRAMMY Awards (from seven previous nominations), two consecutive American Music Award nods, multiple ASCAP honors, and has developed a solid partnership with Chevrolet. Third Day has maintained a touring record second-to-none by playing for audiences reaching into the millions. In addition to these many accolades, the band is most proud of its humanitarian efforts that include raising nearly $200,000 for the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and encouraging over 15,000 fans to sponsor children across the globe through the work of World Vision.
