The
Voices Acappella
Three young men from Zambia, Martin, Paul and Joseph, came to the Presbyterian Church of Barrington to sing and to share their love for God with us. On Sunday, October 9, 2005 at the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services they worshiped and praised God with our congregation. At 3:00 p.m., they presented a special concert in the Sanctuary which took us on a voyage of discovery of the rich African Gospel a cappella sounds.
The mission of The Voices Acappella is to help spread the gospel of Jesus, to create awareness of the problem of AIDS in Zambia, and to raise funds to support their ministry.
In Zambia, 19.9% of all adults are infected with AIDS. Zambia has approximately 650,000 orphans in a total population estimated at 8.9 million. One Zambian in every 14 is an AIDS orphan under the age of 15. HIV/AIDS is leaving a generation of orphans. The Voices Acappella ministry encourages and empowers the communities in Zambia to look after orphans in their midst.
The Voices Acappella ministry is committed to assist the orphaned children in Zambia and around the world, to meet their needs regardless of personal background, religion or health status, and to ensure that a high standard of care and a positive and life-changing environment are made available to orphans.
The Voices Acappella ministry needs funding for the core program, to register the orphans, and for the many subsidiary programs which address the needs of the orphans. The ministry encourages the development of self sufficiency among orphans by active participation in community projects The Voices Acappella invites those interested in this exciting opportunity to share in this vision in a practical way in order to make a difference in the lives of these children and in the world. The Voices Acappella is committed to the well-being of orphans in the traditional family and community environment.
