THUR 21 JUNE 7pm WATOTO African Childrens Choir FREE concert - donations

Watoto Children’s Choirs have travelled extensively since 1994, sharing a message of hope for Africa’s orphans and widows. To date, the choir has toured six continents and performed to enthralled audiences in schools, retirement homes, churches, parliaments, state houses and royal palaces. 

THUR 21 JUNE  7PM  

WATOTO African Childrens Choir FREE concert 

 donations gratefully accepted

The Watoto Children’s Choir concert acts as a fundraising event for Watoto. 

Each child in the Watoto Children’s Choir has suffered the loss of one or both parents and now lives in a Watoto village. The experience of travelling on a choir helps the children to develop confidence and boldness, as well as broadening their worldview.

“I highly recommend the Watoto Choir to any pastor who has a heart for the nations or for orphans. The choir itself will steal your heart with their music, dance and stories, and when you hear the holistic approach that Gary and Marilyn Skinner (founders) are using, you’ll see how you can be a part of truly changing a nation. If you want your people to develop a heart for missions, I can’t think of a better way than to schedule the Watoto Choir!”

Jerry McQuay, Senior Pastor: Christian Life Center, USA
