The final American Idol showdown brought in almost 100 million votes with a small-town worship pastor from Arkansas being the victor. Kris Allen is also a Christian and so far has been an interesting example of humility in a world of super-sized egos and image. American Idol judge Simon Cowell even found Kris' humble attitude "off-putting".
Before American Idol, Kris was a worship leader at New Life Church in Maumelle, Arkansas, as well as at the Chi Alpha campus ministry of the University of Central Arkansas. He has done missionary work around the world, including in Burma, Mozambique, South Africa, Spain and Thailand.
It's incredible how many people the show American Idol reaches. Gospel Spots has been privileged to run evangelistic TV spots during the show in the past and we believe for more in the future!
Pray for Kris Allen as he steps into this highly visible role, and for Gospel Spots to be able to boldly evangelize America, utilizing shows like American idol.
