About Hillsong United:

The Hillsong United band is a worship band that originated as a part of Hillsong Church was formed in 1998 as part of Hillsong's youth ministry and the band consists of several rotating worship leaders from the church, including Brooke Fraser, Joel Houston, Reuben Morgan and Marty Sampson. Due to several songs written by the youth ministry, Hillsong worship leader Darlene Zschech recommended that they record an album, which resulted in their debut extended play, One, which was released alongside the Hillsong Worship album Touching Heaven Changing Earth. Since then, the group has released eleven annual live albums, as well as four studio albums. The band composes songs and performs in church services as well as concerts in worldwide tours.

The band was originally formed by close friends from within the youth ministry called "Powerhouse Youth", led by Hillsong Youth Pastors Phil and Lucinda Dooley for many years. As the house band for the Powerhouse meetings, they played original songs and rearranged popular radio tunes at their weekly meeting for local youth aged 16–25. Band members sometimes also contributed to the larger interdenominational ministry Youth Alive Australia and its albums. Most members of the band also attended Hillsong Church services.

About Prabhu Yeshu Janmotsav:

For over 5 decades the churches of Bombay have come together to put up a spectacular mega event to announce the Christmas season in the financial capital of India-none other than the City of Bombay. This festival which was started initially in 1965 by Tara Cherian the then Lady Governor of Maharashtra is one of its kind in the whole country, unique in its own way as it provides a common platform for the largest Christmas meet in the City where the clergy and the community unite as one to reaffirm the Indian Christian’s resolve for an India that is secular and united in development.

It started with a few hundred people gathering on the beach to listen to carols but today multitudes gather from all walks of life to participate in this spectacular mega event which has become an integral part of the city calling its attention to Jesus and His message of love,peace,joy and salvation especially in these times of uncertainty when terror attacks along with natural disasters like tsunami,earthquakes,floods, of epidemics threaten humanity with everyone appearing to be under the grip of anxiety and fear.
