HOUSTON, Texas – Cruz for President today announced that the nationally-acclaimed, Grammy-Award nominated and Dove-award-winning Christian pop rock band, Newsboys, will make a special appearance at the Rally for Religious Liberty on August 21 in Des Moines, IA.
“Our campaign couldn’t be more excited for the Newsboys to perform at this rally,” stated Sen. Cruz. “We are looking forward to working with them and all participants in this event to shine a light on the ongoing assault on religious liberty in this country.”
The Rally for Religious Liberty will be held at the Iowa events Center Grand Ballroom at 730 3rd Street in Des Moines, Iowa on August 21. Dick and Betty Odgaard of Grimes, Iowa are hosts of the rally and will be joined by six others who have likewise been targeted by the government for their religious beliefs, including U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk, Barronelle Stutzman of Richland, Washington, Kelvin Cochran of Atlanta, Georgia, Blaine Adamson of Lexington, Kentucky, and Melissa and Aaron Kline of Gresham Oregon.
Newsboys have sold more than 8 million units, amassing eight Gold® certifications, 33 #1 radio hits, four GRAMMY® nominations and multiple Dove Awards. “God’s Not Dead,” Newsboys’ chart-topping, Platinum®-certified single, inspired Pure Flix Entertainment’s 2014 hit film of the same name.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. This event is open to the press.

I’ve listened to them since I was very little. I would love to be able to go. :(
Great group, sang the theme song in “Gods not dead”
And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they've just heard
'Cause all the powers of darkness
Can't drown out a single word
When all God's children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
All God's people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
ROFL ROFL
Still my favorite Newsboys cut after all these years...BREAKFAST IN HELL

Hold the Milk, Put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We’ve gathered here to sprinkle ashes
from our late friends cereal bowl.
Breakfast clubbers say the motto
that he taught us to repeat
“You will lose it in your gym class if you wait till noon to eat”
Back when the chess club said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he’d say grace and hold our juice aloft
Oh none of us knew his check out time would come so soon
but before his brain stopped waving he composed this tune
Chorus:
When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell
When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don’t serve breakfast in hell
Breakfast clubbers drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd
That day he bought those pine pajamas
His check was good with god
Those here without the Lord
How do you cope
For this morning we don’t mourn
Like those who have no hope
Oh rise up Fruit Loop lovers
Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother “Cheerio”!!!

I want Breakfast played at my funeral:
Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We’ve gathered here to sprinkle ashes
From our late friend’s cereal bowl
Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
That he taught us to repeat
You will lose it in your gym class
If you wait ‘til noon to eat
Back when the Chess Club
Said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he’d say grace
And hold our juice aloft
Oh, none of us knew
His checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving
He composed this tune
When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell
When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don’t serve breakfast in Hell
Breakfast Clubbers, drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd
That day he bought those pine pajamas
His check was good with God
Those here without the Lord
How do you cope?
For this morning we don’t mourn
Like those who have no hope
Oh, rise up, Fruit Loop lovers
Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother, Cheerio
When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell
When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don’t serve breakfast in Hell
GMTA!
Cheers!
I love that song.
Love that song/video.
In this time of desperation
When all we know is doubt and fear
There is only One Foundation
We believe, We believe
In this broken generation
When all is dark, You help us see
There is only One Salvation
We believe, We believe
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's comin' back again, we believe
So, let our faith be more than anthems
Greater than the songs we sing
And in our weakness and temptations
We believe, We believe!
We believe in God the Father!
We believe in Jesus Christ!
We believe in the Holy Spirit!
And He's given us new life!
We believe in the crucifixion!
We believe that He conquered death!
We believe in the resurrection!
And He's comin' back again!
Let the lost be found and the dead be raised!
In the here and now, let love invade!
Let the church live loud, our God we'll say
We believe, We believe!
And the gates of hell will not prevail!
For the power of God Has torn the veil!
Now we know Your love will never fail!
We believe, We believe!
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life!
We believe in the crucifixion!
We believe that He conquered death!
We believe in the resurrection!
And He's comin' back,
He's comin' back again!
He's comin' back again!
We believe!
We believe
Very smart move. This band is wildly popular with young evangelicals.
Amen.
I recently discovered a Christian radio station and Christian rock songs. I love singing along. Tempted to get an ipod just for Christian music so I can enjoy them while out walking.
