Produced by musical director for the stars, Chong Lim, the album represents a partnership between ABC Music, Universal Music Australia and World VisionAustralia.

In a coup for ABC Music, the current ‘leading lady’ of Christian music, Darlene Zschech, has recorded the appropriately-titled track My Hope especially for the album, while Olivia Newton John performs the inspiring Isn’t It Amazing. Chart-topping young stars Mark Vincent and Stan Walker are also featured, alongside a cappella vocal legends The Idea of North. Also starring: Anna Maria La Spina, Annalisa Kerrigan and Andrew Naylor. The one-hit-after-another formula is held together by inspiring reflections on Hope by ‘the voice of Australia’s conscience’, the Rev. Tim Costello.
The album is co-produced by Andrew Hagger, a prominent Melbourne businessman, who had the original dream for the project.
Breakfasts of Hope have already been held in Sydney and Melbourne to packed houses and there is one in Adelaide on April 30 - featuring Tim Costello from World Vision and live performances from two artists from the album.
There will be a number of corporates represented at the breakfast and encouragement is made to book for a table of 10.
"Hope is the word written on the brow of every man, woman and child. It’s the promise of a better future, the antidote of despair. Grab hold of hope. Celebrate hope. Lean into it. Hold it close. Lift your spirits and be transformed. For our sake, God has so wonderfully created faith, love and hope.”
Rev. Tim Costello
