Oh What Love will be presented in Gibsons on Friday, Jan. 30 at Christian Life Assembly (730 School Rd.) at 7 p.m.
Through this dynamic worship experience, the Watoto Children’s Choir, who were once orphans, share their journeys to redemption and demonstrate that God desires to be a loving father to all mankind.
“God’s heart for the marginalized is not just to see individuals rescued, but rather to see them thrive as their lives are transformed,” said Watoto Founder Gary Skinner. “The stories of the children are real and represent thousands who are experiencing this transformation.”
Based on the bible verse, 1 John 3:1, “See what kind of love the father has given us, that we should be called children of God, and so we are,” prepare for a unique worship experience that celebrates the urban African landscape and brings out the unique personalities of the children.
The production is indicative of emerging, modern Africa — a continent coming out of ruin and exploring its true identity. Africa is coming of age and so are her people. Her children and young adults are the key to the future.
Since 1994, Watoto Children’s Choirs have travelled all over the world sharing the plight of Africa’s orphaned and vulnerable. Each of the children in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both of their parents, but they have been rescued and now live in a Watoto village.
