The Watoto Children’s Choir is a group of African Children (like me) based in Kampala, Uganda, at Watoto Church. The choir is made up of children who have lost one or both parents to the AIDS epidemic or to war. The choir has toured Asia, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and many other countries.
I’m super excited to meet them live during one of their tours at our Church, Gospel Center Edmonton, Canada. We were blessed by their amazing message, very well inspired by their stories, thrilled by their energy, and especially glad to see the smiles on their faces. Their story is one of hope, love, and redemption.
I am inspired by the sacrifices of their Leaders. I was extremely happy to have a few moments to chat with one of the leaders, and I really appreciated him for the work he does.
These children have visited the UK Houses of Parliament, the Canadian Parliament, the Australian Parliament, and the White House on different occasions.
Imagine if no one had taken care of these amazing talents. Imagine what would have become of these wonderful souls, who now go about Nations spreading the good news of Jesus? Imagine if these had died of hunger?
In many ways I can relate to some of their stories, but today is not my day to tell mine.
My word of encouragement today to you, my friend, is :
If God is leading you to bless a child, donate to a cause that cares for children, speak up for a child, pray for a child who is going astray, partake in activities to develop children… or whatever you are led to do. Please do it with joy; it is a seed. Don’t hold back; give it your best. Your seed will yield millions of fruits very soon.
I celebrate everyone out there doing their little deeds to groom the next generation for success. Do not be discouraged!
