HOUSTON, Nov. 20, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Trinity Broadcasting Network's exclusive Spanish-language affiliate network Enlace announced that its annual Noche de Paz Christmas program will be taped live at 1 p.m., November 25, at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. The popular Christmas music extravaganza will then be broadcast during Christmas week on both DirecTV Latin America and on Enlace throughout the U.S. and Latin America.

Enlace's U.S. director Cesar Español said the event is free to the public, who will have the privilege of participating in what has become a much anticipated annual holiday event. "For the past several years we have been bringing together some of the best Christian singers, worship leaders, and musicians throughout the U.S. and Latin America for this extra-special event," he said. "Past participants have included popular musicians like Marcos Witt, Israel Houghton, and Julissa Arce, and we are really excited about this year's lineup."

Hosted by Danilo Montero, pastor of Lakewood Church's Hispanic congregation, this year's Noche de Paz program will include traditional Christmas carols as well as contemporary holiday music from popular Christian singers and musicians Tercer Cielo, Coalo Zamorano, Lilly Goodman, and Cindy Cruse-Ratcliff.

We're blessed to know people are being impacted by Enlace."
