One Hundred Hours are Tre Sheppard, Tori Sheppard, Paul Baker,
Jono West.
The band's name comes from a book called THE OTHER HUNDRED HOURS,
by Wyn Fountain. The author explains that:
'Each week we live 7 x 24 hours = 168 hours
If we sleep 8 hours a night, 7 x 8 = 56 hours
Our time awake each week = 112 hours
The average Christian cannot possibly spend much more than 12 hours
a week at church meetings, bible studies, etc. . . If you subtract
those 12 hours from the remaining 112, it leaves 100 hours...God
is not looking for a small 12 hour slice of our lives...
He wants to change our lives and change the world through our lives
in that other one hundred hours..."
As a band, our desire is to have lives that worship, regardless
of what we're doing...so that when we do open our mouths to sing,
we're simply adding words and melody to the sound of our hearts.
The way we live in the other one hundred hours is the key to this
dream. Whether in a church or a pub or a stadium, we want to lift
His name with as much passion, as much honesty and as much noise
as we can muster while we sing about the Truth and the Hope that
we know in Jesus.
Although One Hundred Hours signed with Survivor Records in late
2001, they continue to work in ministries other than the band alone.
Tre and Tori are still part of the leadership of "The Factory,
while Jono serves with "Fusion," a cell based ministry
focused on UK University students and Paul leads "The Link"
office in the East End of London serving young people and youth
ministries on the urban front.
