We are so excited for SonFest 2022 to return to MVNU this Saturday! There is an incredible lineup of talented artists who will be coming to campus for this full day of music and fun. One of those bands has been here before and we can’t wait to welcome them back: Wolves at the Gate!

Heart for African People is a registered nonprofit organization in Uganda (formerly known as Deo Ministries). In 2019 Heart for African People started a choir project called Muwendo Children’s Choir to travel and raise support for the ministry to transform lives of the orphans and needy families in our community.
Heart for African People has partnered with Grace Christian Fellowship through Strategic Ministry Partnerships International to bring Muwendo Children’s Choir to USA this year. The children will share their hope for a bigger and brighter future through song, dance, and the playing of musical instruments. Despite growing up in disadvantaged communities, these children desire to show the world the hope of the good news of Jesus Christ and that they too, can live meaningful and abundant lives!
The children will perform at schools and churches to spread the Gospel of Jesus and raise awareness and support for their community, Kosovo, back home. Their goal is to see 500 new kids sponsored to reduce the number of children on the streets of Kosovo. A second goal is to build a Child Development Center which will house a kindergarten, Library and offices. and a third goal is to facilitate the renovation of the classrooms at Treasured Kids School. Through Muwendo Choir’s Sponsorship Program, children will be provided with Christian discipleship, educational opportunity, microenterprise training and healthcare support to better meet their physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
WNZR’s Marcy Rinehart had the chance to talk with Ross Gerber from Grace Christian Fellowship about the tour and ministry of this special group of children.
