Legendary worship leader Dr Ron Kenoly will embark on a UK tour with Kenneth Benson Ministries this month, stopping off in London, Norwich, Sheffield, and more.

The U.S. artist performed in London recently to lead worship at the historical ‘Mission to London’ conference held at the Earls Court Arena, alongside worship leaders Noel Robinson & Nu Image, Cindy Price and Mike Parlett.

Kenoly will now return to the UK this month for ‘The Worship Explosion Tour’ with Kenneth Benson Ministries, slated for 12-20 August.

”It’s a kind of a concert/promotional tour,” Kenoly revealed to Christian Today. “I activated my own label a couple of years ago called Right-Hand Records, and we really don’t have much visibility in the UK or Europe. So this is our first attempt to make people aware that Right-Hand Records exists.”

He added: “We thank God for Kenneth and this opportunity to work with him and we look forward to seeing wonderful thing happen.”

In a recent interview with Christian Today, Kenoly noted the importance of praise and the role of a praise leader.

“As praise leaders, we are the ones who have the responsibility to create an environment. In the church, [praise] is the first impression that a newcomer would have. And it’s very important—you don’t get a second chance to give a first impression. So the first thing they see on the platform, they see that as God. ‘Oh, this is a God event.’ So it needs to have quality, it needs to have impact, it needs to be inviting, it needs to be engaging.”

Kenoly now owns and teaches at his own praise academy, called Ron Kenoly’s Academy of Praise.

He shared: “Academy of Praise is a mentoring programme for praise and worship leaders. For pastors, musicians and anybody who is involved in the music area of the church. It’s designed to help them realise a higher level in their praise and worship experience.”

Dr Ron Kenoly hit the gospel music scene in the 1980s, before renowned acts like Israel Houghton or Martha Munizzi. For decades, Dr Kenoly has toured the world as one of the top-selling praise and worship artists in gospel music history, selling over five million in sales.
