ATLANTA, May 28 /Christian Newswire/ -- Featuring a powerful lineup of multi-award nominated Christian Rap artists, the 'Don't Waste Your Life Tour' will travel this summer with Dove Award nominee Lecrae, GRAMMY Award nominee FLAME, Stellar Award nominee Trip Lee, as well as Tedashii and Sho Baraka, who both have plans to release sophomore albums in 2009.
Kicking off in Memphis, TN on Friday, May 29, the highly anticipated tour will travel to New York, Atlanta and Miami, among other cities, as well as the largest Christian festivals, Creation Fest East (PA) and West (WA).
Writing at his most humble and transparent, John Piper, author and pastor for preaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, released the book "Don't Waste Your Life" to encourage Christians to shun seeking worldly joy and instead to live lives dedicated to Christ. Inspired by the top-selling book, Memphis-based Reach Records and Piper's Desiring God Ministries have partnered to present the "Don't Waste Your Life" message to 25-plus cities through music and a message.
Last year, Reach Records' 'Unashamed Tour' jump started a widespread movement gathering and encouraging audiences in more than 20 U.S. cities, London, and Somerset, UK who were not ashamed of the gospel.
This summer, the artists will stand behind the mission to plead and challenge this generation and concertgoers not to waste their life, but to live passionately for Jesus Christ.
