Featuring performances from Elevation Worship, Chris Tomlin, MercyMe, Phil Wickham, CeCe Winans, Jeremy Camp and many more, K-LOVE Landmarks will transform iconic stages into powerful nights of worship, community, and inspiration. The series will make stops at some of America’s most recognizable venues, including the Greek Theatre, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Beacon Theatre and Chicago Theatre and potentially spread the Gospel to almost 30,000 participants.

“Whether you’re singing the songs that have shaped your faith or making new memories with the people you love, K-LOVE Landmarks is more than a concert—it’s an experience,” says K-LOVE Chief Media Officer Gator Harrison. “Bringing together legendary artists, unforgettable destinations, and powerful moments of worship that moves you closer to Jesus and creates memories that stay with you long after the music ends.”

The K-LOVE Landmarks series kicks off with a summer evening under the stars at the Greek Theatre, where worship and praise will fill the California hills. It concludes with a powerful night in Chicago, bringing together legendary voices and today’s most impactful songs for an evening of faith, with stops in the Denver area and New York in between.

Tom says, “This follows an amazing season of working in business management, major gift fundraising, B2B sales and concert/event management & promotion in Christian radio for the better part of the past 20 years, including my recent 11 ½ year tenure with WayFM. Simply put, I’ll be helping businessowners implement key time-tested, market-proven strategies to find hidden profit and trigger significant growth, impacting their bottom line tremendously.

KLJY/St Louis (Joy 99.1) GM/morning host Sandi Brown told the story on the air of what happened just as the station was about to launch on the new 99.1 signal in 2010.  

Something happened to Joy FM founder Sandi Brown’s car that was unexplainable. It left the mechanic speechless. This is a story of God’s protection and power over the enemy. Psalm 91:11 says “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” God is watching over you. And you and I will never know all the threats He’s protected us from. And all the dangers that never became stories because God intervened before we ever saw them.   Watch HERE

WNKJ/Hopkinsville, KY (Missionary Radio) GM Ken Cummins checks in with HisAir.

Ken says, “We are grateful to report that God has once again demonstrated His faithfulness through the generous Missionary Radio listening family. Recently, Missionary Radio partnered exclusively with Trans World Radio (TWR) to provide new broadcast equipment for TWR Bolivia. The goal was to raise $18,000 by June 30 to replace aging equipment used to distribute biblical programming across Bolivia. Thanks to the overwhelming response of our listeners, the final total reached $19,634, exceeding the goal by $1,634. This equipment will help TWR continue broadcasting the Gospel and sound biblical teaching in Spanish, Quechua, and Low German to more than 100 radio stations serving communities throughout Bolivia. Thank you to everyone who prayed and gave so sacrificially. Together, we are helping proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to people around the world. To God be the glory!”
