Multi-Award Winning Male Vocalist,
Ivan Parker Receives NCM Radio Mike Award Bedfordshire, England
- Popular multi-award winning male vocalist, Ivan Parker,was recently
named Southern Gospel Artist of the Year/USA by the United Kingdoms
New Christian Music (NCM). The NCM Radio Mike Awards will be presented
during NCM Weekend, Feburary 14 and 15, 2010, at Vandyke Theatre
in Bedforshire, England. I am truly humbled to accept this honor,
Parker stated. To realize that around the world fans are enjoying
what I do. It is so wonderful to know that lives are being changed
around the globe is the greatest reward of all. Parker praised NCM's
Paul Davis for his work in the United Kingdom to promote Southern
Gospel Music and the message it conveys. “This is such a special
honor because it speaks to the true impact Southern Gospel Music
is making around the world.
One of the greatest ministry opportunities
to come Ivan’s way is
being a part of most of the Gaither Homecoming Videos and singing
in 70 to 80 Gaither Concerts a year, which average around 15,000
attendees each, in addition to his own solo schedule. In all, his
calendar shows an average of 200 performances a year. One of the
highlights of his ministry in 2002 was when he stepped on stage
at Carnegie Hall and sang not "On the wings of a snow white
dove" but "God Bless the USA."
