Operation Rising Sun: From Seattle to Japan (Seattle Artists United) "He Reigns Over All the Earth" was birthed as a seed in the heart of C.L. Hunter, CEO of Christ Hu Nterz Productions over a year ago. He felt God was telling him to bring the local Christian artists together to do a compilation CD to give light to such a great talent in this area.
It lay dormant until March 11, 2011 when we met with a Japanese pastor at our church Vision Conference. We met with her to pray about bringing one of our artists there to Japan to minister to the Youth. We prayed and asked God to open their hearts to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Little did any of us know that there was an earthquake and tsunami that had just ravaged the Sendai region of that country. We saw the news that night and fell to our faces. God immediately revealed to us that this was why He was impressing it upon his heart to bring the artists together. There was such a bigger plan than any of us could imagine. God wanted to bring unity to a people and salvation to a nation.
We immediately prayed and began to ask God what was next and He shared with us to ask Fahren Johnson, an artist on the CHP label, to write the song. It was literally written in one day and we were in the studio two days later. Many came out to support and so many called and wanted to be on this project, but were unable to at such a short notice. We truly thank them as well, because there hearts were with us, so they are still a part of this project in our hearts. Great struggles and attacks came from every side, but God continued to show us the way and kept us focused on the vision and what He wanted us to do.
We have partnered with Asian Access, www.asianaccess.org, who will be our "hands & feet" to get these donations to the local pastors in Japan to help with food, clothing and supplies, as well as to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ! We are so very excited for what God is doing in this country and we are humbled that He would choose us for such a project. He truly has received and will continue to receive all the glory.
Continue to pray for healing, restoration and salvation for the Japanese people.
