K-Love has announced a partnership with international Christian broadcaster Trans World Radio (TWR) to expand its programming into as many as 190 countries, with an emphasis on regions where Christian missionary activities are restricted.

The collaboration combines K-Love's Christian music and inspirational programming with TWR's international broadcasting infrastructure and established relationships. TWR currently distributes biblical programming in more than 200 languages and dialects through local ministry teams around the world.

Under the agreement, TWR's international teams will adapt K-Love content for local cultures and languages, allowing the organizations to reach new audiences through Christian radio. The initiative will also support the expansion of K-Love's Spanish-language ministry through K-Love Global.

"We believe God has brought these two ministries together to help move more people closer to Jesus by combining our strengths, expanding our reach, and creating more opportunities for lives to be transformed," said K-Love Chief of Staff Dr. Bobby Wood.

TWR President and CEO Andy Schick emphasized the importance of tailoring programming to local audiences.

"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," Schick said. "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 CEO Tom Stultz said the partnership builds on the network's established approach of combining contemporary Christian music with encouraging on-air personalities. "When we realized we could extend our positive and encouraging messages on a global basis, we knew we had to pursue it," Stultz said. "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."

The announcement follows K-Love's initial international outreach in 2025, when the organization began providing programming to existing radio ministries in Italy, Zambia and Lithuania.

K-Love plans to seek initial funding from supporters interested in expanding Christian broadcasting internationally.
