I saw these kids - I could not wait to go. They were all as beautiful as I imagined they would be. I could not say all I wanted to say without "editorializing," which is not allowed in our little newspaper. I was moved, spiritually and physically (I could hardly sit still), by the life that came from these - God's - kids.
Children of the World, a choir comprised of orphaned and disadvantaged children from Uganda, India and the Philippines, was invited by Pastor David Tosi to perform at Paden City Baptist Church on June 1, as their last stop of World Help’s 2007-2008 U.S. tour.
The group has performed at Focus on the Family, Brooklyn Tabernacle, Crystal Cathedral and Disney World. Their joyful faces as they sang and danced belied the devastation that has occurred in their young lives, mainly as the result of the AIDS pandemic.
The children touched the hearts of many as they sang in English and in their native tongues and shouted out scriptures that were displayed on a video backdrop.
World Help was born out of a sincere desire to help those in need both spiritually and physically. Their purpose is to generate compassion and inspire individuals to get involved in helping over 15 million children who have been orphaned and their lives drastically impacted by AIDS.
As the spokesperson explained, a child can be sponsored for just $30 a month, which will provide everything needed to change his or her life and impact their community.
