From the inspirational opening track "Ground Zero," which received national exposure on the Don Imus show, to the final cut "Where's The Change?" which will have fellow Christians searching their pockets and their hearts, Pettersen will both entertain and intrigue the listener with his infectious hooks. The CD pays tribute to heroes of all kinds. The American soldier of World War II, in "The Mission"...the amazing and seemingly tireless workers at Ground Zero in the song of the same name, the Lord Himself in "Held By Love"...fathers, in "A Walk in The Park" and other inspirations he has met in his daily walks. Involved in Christian music since the age of seventeen, Pettersen has always wanted to write and produce a solo project. The Mission isn't only the title of the album, it's the embodiment of what this effort has meant to him as it has come together over the past two years. "I really wanted to inspire the listener to look at themselves and the world around them in a whole new way with this album" says Ed, "I pray that there's something in this collection to inspire everyone who listens."
