Sozo Children’s Choir Shares African Culture and Mission at Smithville First Baptist Church

Spreading African Culture and Mission

Smithville First Baptist Church was filled with the rich flavour of African culture as the Sozo Children’s Choir from Uganda took the stage on April 7. The choir, on a tour stop in DeKalb County, showcased part of their lifestyle while sharing about their mission.

A worship experience

Ministry Outreach Leader Miguel Zayas explained that the choir’s performance aimed to expose people to African sounds, colours, and dance while incorporating worship songs. The children’s joyous voices and vibrant enthusiasm ignited a worship experience that had the audience on fire for both the music and the ministry.

Empowering vulnerable children

Sozo Children exists to empower vulnerable children in Uganda to become thriving leaders for Jesus Christ. Zayas highlighted the organisation’s mission to rescue children from situations of rape, abuse, or neglect and provide them with a safe and nurturing environment to grow and thrive.

Life-Changing Opportunities

Every two years, Sozo Children brings a group of children from Uganda to tour the United States, giving them a chance to share their stories and experience new cultures. For many of these children, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel outside their village and country.
