Our homeschool group toured the KLOVE/AIR1 radio station!
Our group was so large we had to break up into smaller groups and go separate directions. Everyone we met was gracious and accommodating. The kids were able to see everything, from where things were recorded to engineering, finance, and the chapel.
These stations are not only for entertainment, but they are also a rich ministry. They have about seven full time pastors that pray for people who call in. Also, all employees attend chapel three times a day and pray over prayer requests. Each prayer request is printed out and is prayed over at least three times and each is marked after it has been prayed over.
DH and I support this ministry with monthly donations. They call us a few times a year to see if there is anything they can pray for us.
Speaking with one of the engineers…
Entering the news room. These staff members follow breaking news and decide what gets placed on the air.
This was a very special day for touring. The band Citizen’s Way was at the station recording some music. The kids got to meet and speak with the members of the band. You can hear one of their songs here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xlNwDpPoWs
Air1’s afternoon DJ Brant Hansen stopped a visited with the kids for a few minutes. This was a really big deal for a few of them!
This is DJ Amanda. She was working when we paid her a visit. She did an amazing job answering questions and engaging the kids. She also let us stay in the room while she talked on air…we were really quiet…
