Klovefanawards.com - 12 - #KLOVEFANAWARDS Klovefanawards.com - 13 - #KLOVEFANAWARDS Dear FRIENDS: Right from the start, I’d like to say, “Thank You.” First of all, to God: for loving all of us so much that He sent His one and only son to pay for our sins. For His grace and protection as we live our lives in service to Him. And to you! You are our partners, coming together to minister to listeners all around the world. Tonight is all about you and the artists. This evening we will find out who you, the fans, chose to nominate and to honor. I can’t wait to see how you voted. Speaking of voting, if you voted in this year’s Fan Awards, one of you will win a trip for two to Washington D.C. to take part in a special VIP tour of the Museum of the Bible. This trip will be exciting and educational at the same time. As you know, K-LOVE’s mission is to create moments—through the music, announcers, teaching and more—that encourage you to have a closer personal relationship with Jesus. Together with our friends at Coke, we hope tonight’s Fan Awards inspire and encourage. Let the 2016 K-LOVE Fan Awards begin! Warmest regards, Mike Novak CEO/President, K-LOVE Radio | welcome Fans | | welcome Fans | To All Our Friends: Since we gathered here in 2015, it’s been an AMAZING year! We’ve seen lives changed, people coming to Jesus and communities transformed—all as a result of the creative content being made by all of our nominees here tonight! We are thankful for your gifts and appreciate the impact you continue to have in a world in need of God’s love and forgiveness. We come together to celebrate and praise the amazing God we serve! We also come together to recognize those who, with excellence, have reached audiences so well with the message of the Gospel. We will worship, celebrate and have an amazing night. I’m so glad you are here with us to add to this night of celebration. This year we welcome our new main sponsor, Coca-Cola Consolidated, to the party! They are an awesome company led by believers, who desire to make an impact for the Kingdom as well. Frank and Jan, we are thankful you are on board with us and look forward to having you as a key partner with the K-LOVE Fan Awards in the coming years! It’s also an honor to have Museum of the Bible, World Hope and our other key partners who help make this event awesome. It’s a pleasure to work with you, and I’d like to personally thank you so much for your support of the K-LOVE Fan Awards weekend! As Paul wrote to the Ephesians, “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.” Have a great evening! David Pierce Chief Creative Officer, K-LOVE Radio Dear attendees: It is such a privilege to work in an industry that crafts and creates songs that are centered around Jesus! Each year I am amazed at the creativity and talent of all the artists and others involved in this production. Tonight you will hear from athletes, authors, artists and actors who are using their platform to advance the Gospel. This event is to celebrate and reward numerous performers in many types of Christian entertainment—all chosen by you, the fans. 1 John 1:7 says, “But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” That is something to celebrate! So as believers gathered together, may we rejoice, sing at the top of our lungs, and celebrate what God has done in our industry this past year. Finally, I especially want to thank K-LOVE, Coca-Cola Consolidated, Museum of the Bible, World Hope, and all the other wonderful sponsors and partners of this event. Your friendship, vision and partnership is truly amazing. I hope you have a great evening and enjoy Christian music’s biggest night. Sincerely, John Sanders John Sanders LLC, Executive Producer Dear Friends & Fans: On behalf of Coca-Cola Consolidated, I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2016 K-LOVE Fan Awards.
