Word Records' Dove award winning and platinum selling artist, Mark Schultz, will appear in concert, 7 p.m. on June 7, at Woodland Heights Baptist Church located at 4215 Prince Street in Conway. Schultz is looking forward to returning to Conway, as his last appearance in 2006, sold out one week prior to the concert.

Mark Schultz, who is a renowned story-telling songwriter, and the songs spotlight his view of the world through his heart. One tune in particular, on the Broken & Beautiful CD, "Everything To Me," (co-written with Cindy Morgan) talks about Schultz' adoption at two weeks of age, the first time he has ever made this personal fact public. The song thanks his birth mother for giving him the opportunity for such a full and wonderful life. Schultz partners with two adoption agencies, The James Fund and Bethany Christian Services, in order to bring support to adoptive children looking for homes.

Christian radio has embraced Schultz with open arms, making him one of the industry's most played artist.

The title cut, to his last CD, Broken & Beautiful was co-written with Matthew West and talks about how the church is open to the broken and how God can give us back our lives again. The anticipated song with which Schultz has been teasing audiences for years, "Walking Her Home," chronicles the life of a loving couple who now reside in a nursing home. The song is based on a husband and wife that cared for Schultz upon his arrival to be an artist in Nashville. "She Was Watching" describes a little girl watching her father pray and how she wants to grow up to be just like him, which focuses on how our own actions influences other people. "40 Days" is an up-tempo CHR song that compares Jesus' forty days in the desert and the daily struggles that everyone has to overcome.

Audiences look forward to hearing these songs in an intimate setting. "It was a thrill for me to get to work with producers Shaun Shankel (Natalie Grant, Jump 5) and Mark Bright (Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts), and I hope these songs will inspire, encourage and challenge people in their faith, where a little more love and caring can be given to a broken world."
