MWANGAZA CHOIR MEETS U.S. AMBASSADOR


Africa Renewal Ministries is proud to report that for the first time ever, the Mwangaza Children’s Choir was invited to sing for the US Ambassador at the American Embassy in Kampala, Uganda.  The Ambassador and embassy staff were delighted to meet the children and get a first-hand preview of the Choir’s upcoming US tour.

 
Following is a comment from one of the US Embassy staff about the choir’s meeting with the Ambassador:  ”It was a great time with the Ambassador and with the Deputy Chief of Mission. I was surprised because all the choirs that have come through have never had this special treatment; the Ambassador even delayed his lunch just to catch a moment with the children and also hear them sing.  Everyone was wowed!  I had goose bumps all over my arms as they sang “America the Beautiful”.

The Choir will arrive in North Carolina, USA on January 3rd where they will kick off the 2011 Hope For The Nations Tour.  Currently the tour has concert dates booked in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky, and Illinois.  This will mark the Choir’s first time in the southeast USA and they are so excited to spread the message of Light and Hope through song and dance.
