The concert will be full of music, speaking, prayer, and fellowship, designed to usher in God’s presence, lead the audience into worship, and encourage every person attending.

They are a family group sharing the gospel through sermons and songs. Evangelist David Mann, Victoria, and their daughter Rachelle hit the road full-time in 1995. One year later, little David was born and officially joined the family ministry. This family travels nationwide, sharing the gospel through sermons and songs. The siblings sing together as a duet, and the whole family plays instruments together in their live band. Their music features family harmonies with a modern country flair. The Mann Clan ministry includes revivals, concerts, youth retreats, family camps, and special events. Their music genre is country gospel.

The Bittersweetness of Farewell

Tim Land

Good-byes are never easy, and this one is no different. KAMB extends its best wishes to General Manager, Tim Land, who announced his upcoming retirement to the KAMB Board and Staff in January. Tim began his work at here 41 years ago, serving the last 29 years as the General Manager, leading the Staff in growing the width and depth of KAMB’s broadcast footprint in the Central Valley.

On his time at KAMB, Tim said, “It has been a tremendous blessing to serve in a place that is Christ-centered. It’s equally a privilege to broadcast and stream the Good News freely each day over Central California. One of the greatest blessings is hearing the stories of how people have come to the Lord through KAMB, and hearing how God has used this unique ministry to encourage people to grow in their walk of faith with Him.”

Expansion and Improvement

Under Tim’s guidance, KAMB significantly expanded its broadcast signal with the move of its main transmitter to nearby Mariposa, to cover the Central Valley. He also guided the purchase of additional translators to reach the Central Coast. Through God’s faithfulness and provision, he led the station back to a financially healthy position and oversaw the transition from analog to digital platforms over the past 25 years.

Added Christopher Grant, KAMB Board Chairman,

“Tim has been a valuable part of KAMB/Celebration Radio. His commitment to the Lord, the listener, and the Staff have blessed this ministry greatly. The team is grateful for his leadership and looks forward to what the Lord has for him in the next season of his journey.”

Not retiring from Kingdom work

Christian Artist Search 2009

Tim will serve his last day at KAMB on June 30th. “There are a lot of long overdue projects both around the house and the yard that I’ll have more time to tackle.” Tim said of his next steps. “My wife and I will travel some, visiting friends and family on the other side of the country. And, although I’m retiring from KAMB, I’m not retiring from volunteer ministry and Kingdom work. My wife and I are very active in the life of our church and I’m continuing to serve in some leadership areas there.”

From all of us at KAMB/Celebration Radio, we thank you Tim for your undying commitment to serve Christ through your role and work at KAMB.

A Job Well Done

Tim Land Young

With sincerest appreciation for who he is and what he’s done, KAMB announces the retirement of its long-time General Manager, Tim Land. His career at KAMB spans 41 years, beginning as a volunteer and assisting the Program Director with clerical duties.

From Volunteer to GM

“Prior to working at KAMB, I served as an Associate Pastor of Youth and Christian Education at a local church,” Tim recalls. I had experience in church ministry and was a Biblical and Theological studies major in college and obtained a Master’s Degree in Christian Education, but had no training in business management or in radio. That would change as Tim moved from volunteering to working overnight part-time. Within months, he was hired full-time as Operations Director, and eventually moved to Program Director. By 1994, he was promoted to General Manager where he has served ever since.

Balancing Ministry with Business

Tim commented, “I’ve learned a great deal about the financial side of ministry and running a tax-exempt non-profit ministry. Early on I knew that my gifts and talents were best utilized in administration and management. Along the way, God enabled me to learn how to balance the dynamic tension of leading a parachurch organization that is both a ministry and a business at the same time; one that is subject to strict FCC and IRS regulations as well as being faithful to follow biblical principles in guiding this ministry.” Tim added,

“KAMB has been a great place to serve the Lord. We have been blessed over the years with many wonderful and gifted people who have worked here. Some of our current Staff have served here for several years as well, and we are grateful for the close relationships that our team enjoys.”

His final day in the office is June 30, 2023. Please join KAMB in expressing our thanks to God for Tim’s commitment and service over these past four decades.
