wow can they sing!

Ronel & I went to a concert Monday evening. It was put on by a choir that is made up of young people from this area (Deschapelles) who are all in Port au Prince, either going to school or working.

There was probably 25-30 members of the choir and it was quite the production. They sang beautifully and it was very well done. The church was packed and everyone was having a good time. After the choir sang 4 songs, they sat down and then a young boy came up (he was maybe 9-10 years old) The MC told us he was going to sing and boy, could he sing. He was fantastic! I was so amazed at the talent of this young boy! The whole place was on their feet applauding when he was done! At the end of the night, he came back up with a friend (another boy about the same age) and they sang a duo - again it was wonderful and they sang the song in Creole, English & Spanish - I was so amazed!

There was another young man (probably in his early 20's) who also got up during one of the breaks for the choir and sang. He first told us how he used to sing for Satan but now he sings for his Lord. He also sang wonderfully. Then a young man from Port au Prince who was here singing with the choir as a special guest got up and sang a solo and by the end he had all of us singing along with him.

It was an amazing night and I enjoyed it totally! I have not had that much fun in a long time and to hear these wonderful voices praising God together was so great! You knew that God was with us there and He was also enjoying hearing His children lift their voices in praise to Him.
