As part of it’s 2008-09 U.S. tour, World Help presents Children of the World. 

This choir, comprised of orphaned and disadvantaged children from several different countries, will be performing at First Baptist Church of Springfield on Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m.  Doors open at 7 p.m.

Their high-energy and inspiring program will feature several songs, in both English and native dialects, as well as stirring personal testimonies.

The children have performed in such venues as Focus on the Family, Brooklyn Tabernacle, Crystal Cathedral and Disney World.

Children of the World represents millions of innocent hurting children who are suffering needlessly as a result of the AIDS pandemic in Africa. Their purpose is to generate compassion and inspire individuals to get involved in helping over 15 million children who have been orphaned and their lives drastically impacted by AIDS.  

A special video presentation will take you into the heart of the crisis and show you how to make a difference.
