K-Love Inc. has announced a partnership with Trans World Radio with plans to bring K-Love programming to up to 190 countries globally.
K-Love, which began international partnerships earlier this year with stations in Italy and Zambia which have since expanded to Lithuania, will work with Trans World Radio’s local ministry teams to adapt K-Love’s content for different cultures and languages with an emphasis on countries that are closed or restricted to Christian missionary efforts.
K-Love CEO Tom Stultz commented, “We believe the Lord used the founders of K-LOVE to create something really special by combining the passion and encouragement of talented disc jockeys with incredible music that resonates with a large portion of the population who might not otherwise tune in to a religious broadcast. When we realized we could extend our positive and encouraging messages on a global basis, we knew we had to pursue it. We are delighted TWR is as excited about this as we are. Our combined mission is to make Christ known where He’s not known.”
Trans World Radio President Andy Schick said, “K-Love excels at music and encouragement, and TWR has spent over 70 years reaching people in their own language with local teams around the world. Tom and the K-Love team understand that cultural differences matter, and that ministry in someone’s heart language is how you reach them with the love of Christ
K-Love has also appointed Ed Lenane as Vice President of K-Love Global. In his role, he will focus on expanding the reach and impact of K-Love internationally. He will report to Chief of Staff Dr. Bobby Wood collaborating with Trans World Radio and exploring other ways to spread the hope of Christ around the world. He will assemble a Global team drawn from internal departments to assess opportunities and accomplish the goals of this expansion.
