Who is Children of the World?
Children of the World International Children's Choir is comprised of 30 children from the countries of Uganda,Nepal & the Philippines. These children, many of whom are orphans, travel the U.S. for 10 months raising the awareness of the plight of orphaned and disadvantaged children all over the world. The choir, made up of two teams, began its 2009-2010 tour in August and will travel through June 2010, presenting their program to churches, schools, and other organizations. Each program includes powerful testimonies from the children’s personal experiences, several songs in both English and native dialects, and a video presentation including footage of the children’s home countries.
Why does Children of the World exist?
Each year, over 9 million children die from preventable diseases, 1 billion live in poverty, and a staggering 153 million children, under the age of 5, suffer from hunger. Even worse, many of these children will never be able to hear that Jesus loves and cares for them! We feel that children are a vital part of the Great Commission and we must invest in the lives of those who need it so much.
How does Children of the World help others around the world?
During the 10-month tour, the choir raises funds to provide new children's homes or refurbish existing facilities that provide care and shelter for thousands of needy children around the world. Also, each child in the choir is provided with a college scholarship in order to receive a quality education in preparation for the future ministry God has called him or her to do. Many individuals who attend a concert even commit to sponsoring a child for just $30 per month through World Help's Child Sponsorship Program. This program provides children, just like the ones in the choir, with the basic necessities of food, clothing, educational opportunities, and medical attention.
