The Watoto Children's Choir returns to the South Delta Baptist Church this weekend with its production of Oh What Love! The African choir, which has been performing in venues across Canada for several months on its current tour, will be in Tsawwassen this Sunday at 10 a.m. 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.
"After losing my parents I felt alone, with no one to love me. Now I know that God is my father. He loves and cares for me. As I travel on the choir, I am going to show people that God loves them too," says six-year-old Jackie Nakku.
Watoto founder Gary Skinner says, "God's heart for the marginalized is not just to see individuals rescued, but rather to see them thrive as their lives are transformed. The stories of the children are real and represent thousands who are experiencing this transformation."
The production is indicative of emerging, modern Africa, a continent coming out of ruin.
