Celebrating 20 Years of Faithful Service: Clark Peters at KELP Radio
In radio, the voices that shape our days often remain unseen. Listeners across the borderland hear them, rely on them, and are changed by them—yet rarely get a glimpse of the people behind the microphone. For two decades, one of those steady, trusted voices has belonged to Clark Peters.
Clark serves as Director of Operations, Morning Producer, and host of The Trading Post at KELP Radio. A military veteran who previously worked as a pastor and in nonprofit community ministry, he joined the station after funding for his community work ended. What began as a part-time role quickly became full-time, and 20 years later he remains a cornerstone of the station.
As Director of Operations he keeps the airwaves running—importing programs, ensuring they air on schedule, and responding to technical issues around the clock. On Saturday mornings he hosts The Trading Post, a call-in show where listeners buy, sell, trade, or give away items, share about local churches and nonprofits, and simply connect. What might sound like a simple classifieds program has become something richer: a weekly gathering that builds community, fosters unity among churches, and feels like family. Callers often stay on the line just to talk with Clark, and his patience and warmth make every conversation welcoming.
Colleagues and listeners describe him as reliable, godly, and deeply committed—someone whose cool radio voice and quiet faithfulness have impacted thousands in El Paso and beyond. Many note that his life exemplifies the behind-the-scenes support radio provides, and they look forward to the day he hears the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Radio may be invisible, but Clark’s influence is not. To celebrate his 20 years of service and hear the tributes from the people who know him best, watch the YouTube video above. You’ll finally get to put a face to the voice that has blessed the borderland for two decades—and join in congratulating a true radio family member.
