Hope of Christmas Recap
Our Hope of Christmas season was incredibly meaningful, bringing light and hope during what can be a hard time for many. We had the joy of attending Christmas in the Round, where we experienced a beautiful night of worship and music with Mark Schultz, Aaron Shust, Todd Tilghman, and Presence Music. Getting to interview these artists and hear their hearts made the experience even more special. It truly brought the Christmas season to life and reminded us why the hope of Jesus matters so deeply.

Meet The Team
Chaz from Minnesota, United States
Hi! My name is Chaz Lowder, and I serve as the Program Director and an on-air host. Global Worship Radio began in 2021 with my friend Nigel in the Philippines, and from the very beginning it was clear—God was doing something bigger than borders. As we connected with listeners from all over the world, I was reminded that we are united in Christ. I believe everyone has a story, and GWR exists to help share those stories through worship and encouragement.
What started with just a handful of people has grown into a team of 10, each serving in unique ways—from web design and social media to promotions, on-air hosting, and leadership. It’s a beautiful, international picture of the Body of Christ working together with one heart and one mission: encouraging the next generation of worshipers worldwide.
When I’m not behind the microphone or out at a GWR event, I serve as the Campus Pastor at Calvary Church. I’ve been married for almost 25 years to my high school sweetheart, Carolyn, and we have three almost-grown kids—Ellie, Alex, and Mitchel—plus an almost new daughter-in-law, Abby. Thanks for being part of the Global Worship Radio family—we’re so glad you’re here!

Worship Wrap-Up
This past year has been an incredible season of growth, connection, and faith in action for Global Worship. We launched our promotional programs in new ways by participating in more concerts, partnering with promoters, and expanding our interviews with Christian musicians and book authors. Through these opportunities, we continued increasing awareness of our radio station while learning and growing through radio conferences that poured wisdom and encouragement into our team. We placed greater focus on our social media outreach and were excited to expand our merchandise, including the launch of our best-selling I’m With Him t shirts. Every step forward was rooted in the desire to share hope and point people to Jesus.
One of the highlights of the year was getting to come together as a team at a radio conference, strengthening our relationships and vision. We also participated in a powerful three-day music festival where we handed out Bibles for all ages, hosted karaoke, met and interviewed musicians, served as stage emcees, and gave away multiple giveaway packs. We prayed with people, captured heartfelt testimonials, and witnessed God moving in real time through conversations and worship.
Throughout the year, we hosted multiple ticket giveaways and were blessed with generous gifts of merchandise and signed materials from artists who believe in what God is doing through Global Worship.
We are incredibly thankful for every opportunity God placed before us and for the supporters who made it all possible. None of this could have happened without your prayers, encouragement, and partnership. As we look ahead, we are full of faith and excitement for what God will do next year as we continue to worship, serve, and share His love around the world.
Testimonials from our team and volunteer’s:
Chaz – Watching our team serve together at Grand Casino Arena and Roy Wilkins was a powerful reminder of what God can do when hearts say yes. What began as a radio team grew into a beautiful community of volunteers who embraced the ministry, stepped up with joy, and served with purpose. Through it all, God’s hand was clearly at work—uniting us, strengthening us, and reminding us that this ministry is far bigger than any one of us.
Emiliano – I think the night as a whole was just incredible. Watching people go up for interviews and interacting with Chaz was great. Finding out that one young man came from a Muslim family and had given his life to Christ was an incredible testimony. Just interacting with different people and giving them Bibles that some of which would be passed on to random people or family members was pretty cool. Seeing familiar faces and fellowshipping with my brothers and sisters in Christ is always amazing.
Jacqui – Most memorable worship moments of the year — there were so many, from the Conference in Florida to the Rural Festival in Duluth and the Minnesota State Fair. I am in awe of what God is doing in and through our Global Worship Ministry, His love for people, the way He sends us those who need prayer, the healings that have taken place, the connections being formed, the testimonies being shared, and the joy of serving together. I am excited and expectant for what is to come.
Alana – Oh there is so much that I enjoyed but honestly the connecting and conversation and watching everyone interact so lovingly with all of the people! I LOVED seeing how your team draws people in and crave the word of God! So beautiful to witness, I felt like I thrived in that environment!
JoAnne – A favorite and beautiful memory for me was at Rural Fest in Minnesota. ‘I Thank God’ was being played by the band on stage, and I was bee-bopping in our little tent area, A woman was passing by the tent and saw me, and she began to dance and worship right in front of our tent, so I ran out and joined her! It was such a spontaneous moment of fun and joy! We became friends that day and two years later we are still in contact, even though I live in Pennsylvania and she lives in Wisconsin. Moments where the Lord joins us together with other believers in worship and pure spontaneity are rare, but oh so meaningful…and lasting because HE is the one who brought us together.
Jane – I love serving alongside with you guys. The interview part is genius how people share their stories. I love how people come there and curious that we have in the booth and shows interest.
Leah – Watching everyone work together and seeing the people we were able to connect with smiling, comfortable, and excited to share their testimonies. I feel like people really want to be heard. We live in a world where everyone is so stressed out, busy, and self-involved, that people don’t feel like anybody cares. We gave them a safe place to let them know that we care about what’s happening in their lives, we want to hear their stories, and we had absolutely nothing more important than them. I feel like it’s similar to what Jesus did, but obviously nowhere near as perfect. These are the things that can and will help spread the word of God and of Global Worship Radio. You guys have already been doing it since you began. It just feels like it’s starting to gain momentum, which is beautiful to witness in person.
Thank You

As we look ahead, we trust God for what’s next and know that Global Worship can only continue to grow through His leading and your continued support. Thank you for being part of what God is doing.
