Their mission is to bring awareness to the devastation of the children in Africa. The children we saw last night were all between the ages of 8 and 11, and all of them had lost either one or both of their parents. After these children tour for a year as African's ambassadors, they return home and are educated. Two adults were with them as chaperons who had toured with the group years back. They both had graduated... one with a degree in Design, and the other, a degree in Business Administration. The children are taught the hope that is found only in Jesus, and are encouraged to return to their homes to better the situations within their communities. They have been at it since the 1980's.
It truly was an unforgettable evening! My youngest son said this morning, "Mom, last night will be in my brain for a long time!" Indeed!
Here are a few pictures from the night..... enjoy!

And of course, there was no ignoring the evening sky as we left!

The African Children's Choir (ACC as we call them) are sponsored by our church, sort of. KPIC owns and maintains the house that they call "home" when they are not touring. They come to church when they are in town as well. They are delightful. When they are in Kid's Church, it's a big group!!
