Muslim nations musicianary Perry LaHaie releases new album

A MUSICIANARY known for his work in the Muslim world, Perry LaHaie has released an album, 'Ahead'. The 11-song collection draws heavily on a quote from Dawson Trotman, the founder of the Navigators: "When you can't see very far ahead, go as far ahead as you can see." Said Lahaie, "That's why I sing about reaching the nations and that's why I work with Frontiers. Although I cannot always see where my path is leading, God has made this very clear: I am compelled to share the Gospel with those who have never heard it. We are taking the Good News to Muslim people groups that have never had a chance to hear about Jesus. Several of the songs on my new CD are directly related to the mission work I do." The album was produced by Grammy-winning Andy Hunt (Jaci Velasquez, Andrew Peterson), who encouraged LaHaie to explore new sounds and textures that embellished his Americana style. CR
