MEDIA AFRICA IS THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE THE KEN REYNOLDS SA TOUR - APRIL 2010!
March 2010 - For well-known
recording artist and worship leader Ken Reynolds, Facebook has been more than
just a fun way to stay in touch with family and friends. It’s been a vital
link in the chain that’s secured Reynolds his first African tour.
"The tour was pretty much booked on Facebook. A while back, I was
getting a lot of inquiries from South Africa. It all happened around the same
time and from multiple cities so I felt that this was definitely a God thing;
especially since most of the contacts at that time were church leaders and
ministries.”
Reynolds is in passionate pursuit of the presence of God and is bubbling over
in anticipation for this, his first tour to South Africa.
“I’m expecting a great move of God that will continue well after
I’m gone. When the body of Christ comes together in unity to
worship God, it’s a beautiful picture of what it will be like in Heaven.
And, I’m kind of crazy! We’re going to be dancing, singing and
shouting! I like to have fun; worshiping God should also be fun. In a nutshell,
I’m looking for everyone to come out and enjoy the presence of God!
“
Aside from evenings of praise and worship, Reynolds will host workshops or
“plug-in” sessions with local worship leaders and music ministers.
Ken will be in Brakpan at Siloam Ministries on the 23rd and 24th
of April. He’ll be in Ladysmith at Beyond Limits Ministries on the 25th
and 26th of April; and in Cape Town on the 30th April at
Concert Light House Christian Centre and at Tabernacle of Praise on the 1st
of May.
Ken’s musical journey began in his teens, where he embraced almost every
genre imaginable.
“In high school, I listened to Earth, Wind & Fire, Walter Hawkins, a lot
of classical music and a lot of movie scores. And once I started writing songs,
it just all came out.”
But Ken’s love of diversity wasn’t confined to music. While
attending Madison Square Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Ken received a
divine call to connect people through worship.
“God was molding me, sharing that this was my calling. It’s like He
said, ‘What you see at Madison is where I want you to go.’”
What Ken saw was a diverse church that blurred the lines of racial and social
groups. It was a multicultural congregation that reflected his musical mantra:
No boundaries, no walls.
“I feel a call to bridge not only racial, but denominational
barriers."
Recorded live at Resurrection Life Church in Grandville, Michigan, One World/One God is
Ken’s latest album and the soundtrack to his unique calling. It’s a
culmination of both his musical and personal passions. It’s a celebration
of diversity and also a proclamation of God’s desire for unity among His
people.
And once you hear the strains of a sitar on the opening track, you realize that
Ken is going in a fresh, original direction of worship. One World/One God
showcases styles from funk, to gospel, to straight-up worship, to Earth, Wind,
& Fire horn-fueled soul. And let’s not forget “La Buena Vida
(The Good Life),” a Latin-flavored rave-up featuring Dove-nominated
artist Lucia Parker.
It’s fitting that Ken’s record—from the music, to the
performers, to the worshippers—would represent his greatest passion:
Unity through diversity.
Ken is seeing his musical platform expand beyond anything he’d
envisioned, as his music is performed by groups as diverse as Pastor Rick
Warren’s Saddleback Church, Gospel artist Tye Tribbett’s home
church and even international churches.
“A group from South Korea visited our church,” he says. “And
they knew my songs in Korean! You realize that God’s plans are way beyond
ours. Not just for us, but for everything. We’re just one little part of
what He’s doing.”
But while Ken’s ministry expands into touring, producing, mentoring, and
hosting a weekly radio show, he continues to stay grounded as the worship
pastor at Resurrection Life Church. Ken is married to Andrea, and they have two
children Kenton and Alyssa.
