Missions IMPACT! – World Help’s "Children of the World"

Posted by in Uncategorized

The Children of the World are a touring international children’s choir sponsored and supported by World Help. The Children of the World tour the United States for ten months each year, visiting and performing in churches and schools, raising awareness of the various ministries of World Help, and raising funds through love offerings for specific World Help projects. There are actually three touring groups this year, covering three geographic regions of the country. These beautiful children present an incredible concert full of joy, Scripture, enthusiasm, and awesome choreography. It is truly an international experience … right in your own church and community. After the concert, the children and international chaperons lodge with prearranged host families within the church, giving that handful of families the incredible blessing of having some of children stay in their homes.

On this year’s tour, all of the proceeds from those offerings is going to support ministries for children in Africa who have lost their parents to AIDS. Besides its ongoing child sponsorship program, World Help is also in the process of constructing “Villages of Hope,” which are small clusters of permanent homes for displaced, orphaned children.

World Help is a non-denominational missions agency that exists to fulfill the Great Commission and the Great Commandment through partnering, training, helping and serving, especially in the unreached areas of the world. The ministry is based in Lynchburg, Virginia. The ministry’s mission statement page explains that the ministry provides help for today and hope for tomorrow to a hurting world in four strategic ways:

H – Humanitarian Aid
E – Establishing Churches
L – Loving Children
P – Providing Bibles

There are still nine months remaining on the 2007-2008 tour. If you interested in inviting this group to your church, contact their scheduling office toll-free at 1-800-541-6691. The cost is very minimal considering the production and the incredible blessing for your church. World Help asks that a host church to provide a travel fee of $600, a hotel room for their sound and video technicians, host homes for the children, and a couple of group meals.

Consider bringing the Children of the World to your church or community. You will be blessed, indeed.
