"We thank God for His unfailing love and enabling us to do His work after different troubles we faced. Thank you so much dear brothers and sisters in Rochester, NY"
The choir has been singing and evangelizing in local Rwandan churches. They have also attended and participated in conferences held in Rwanda, such as the International Day of Peace.
The choir members are visiting hospitals and the families of the children supported by FOH.

We are called as Hope builders in hopeless places, but with God we will reach our promised land.
