KIRK FRANKLIN and TOBYMAC are teaming up with the E.R.A.C.E. Foundation ("Eliminating Racism and Creating Equality") for their "I Have a Dream--The Tour" coming to over 15 markets this fall. According to Franklin, "tobyMac and I are both very uncomfortable with the color barrier that exists between Christians. It's almost an oxymoron to be Christian yet separated by race." The Grammy-winning artist/producer adds, "We want this tour to be a seed-planter. God willing, it will be the beginning of something greater." <><
Praise & Worship artist DENNIS JERNIGAN has inked a deal with TV network FamilyNet to shoot a series of weekly programs beginning in January 2004.

Other casts members include MICHAEL TAIT from DCTALK, REBECCA ST. JAMES, and MARK STUART from AUDIO ADRENALINE. <><
