Press Release

The African Children’s Choir melts the hearts of audiences with their charming smiles, beautiful voices, and lively African songs and dances. It is composed of African children, ages 9 to 11 years old. The Choir is a program of a larger international organization called Music for Life, which provides thousands of impoverished children throughout Africa with the education, discipleship, and leadership skills needed to rise above their conditions so they can bring positive, lasting change to their families, communities and countries.

The African Children’s Choir is bringing its talent and joy to the First Christian Church of Van Alstyne at 7 p.m. on March 10. The church is located at 274 S. Waco and its phone number is 903-482-5515. Concerts are free and open to all. A free-will offering is taken at the performance to support African Children’s Choir programs, such as education, care and relief, and development programs.

The “Just As I Am” tour combines traditional hymns with African cultural sounds and a stunning visual story of God’s faithfulness.

Music for Life works in the seven African countries of Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. MFL has educated over 52,000 children and impacted the lives of over 100,000 people through its relief and development programs during its history.

The African Children’s Choir has had the privilege to perform before presidents, heads of state and, before her death, Queen Elizabeth II, for her diamond jubilee. The Choir has also had the honor of singing alongside artist such as Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, Michael W. Smith, and other inspirational performers.

Promotional support of this community concert is greatly appreciated. By focusing on providing education, the African Children’s Choir is a non-profit, humanitarian, and relief organization dedicated to helping Africa’s most vulnerable children today so they can help Africa tomorrow.
