NavPress Aims to Raise $500,000 for Tsunami Relief

NavPress revealed plans to raise upwards of $500,000 for tsunami restoration efforts by releasing a commemorative edition Message Bible.  Nashville-based Mad Dancer Media and D-Squared Entertainment, in conjunction with a growing list of artists, authors, and organizations are partnering with NavPress to raise awareness for The Message: A Benefit For Tsunami Relief.  

NavPress is contributing 100% of net proceeds of The Message: A Benefit For Tsunami Relief to a group of international relief organizations with a long-term commitment to countries in the disaster zone. These organizations are: Compassion International, World Vision, Global Action, and The Navigator Tsunami Relief Fund.

"As Christians, we are called to help others," said Kent Wilson, NavPress Executive Publisher. "This is a significant opportunity to unite with readers and the music industry. As time goes by, we don't want to forget about the ongoing needs of those who are continually impacted by this tragedy." 

The Message: A Benefit For Tsunami Relief includes a specially designed cover and a foreword written by Eugene Peterson, translator of The Message Bible. This commemorative edition releases in February and is available exclusively online for $20 through the website www.message4relief.com

Award-winning artists participating in this effort include Rebecca St. James, Michael Card, FFH, CeCe Winans, Jaci Velasquez, Avalon and Nichole Nordeman.  Corporate partners include INO Records, Rocketown Records, Word Entertainment, Howard Publishing and Salem Communications.
