Mwangaza is the Swahili word for “shining light.” Mwangaza Children’s Choir is dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through song, dance and testimony, The group, based in Ggaba, Uganda, tours for Africa Renewal Ministries (ARM) to raise awareness and resources for churches, schools, orphanages, medical clinics and child sponsorships.

The choir is a missionary and fundraising branch of Africa Renewal Ministries, which was formed organically through the vision of giving the children of Uganda the forum to speak to people through their music and testimonies.

The members represent the many orphans and children struggling to survive in Uganda. They are a testimony of what Jesus can do in and through anyone who comes to Him. The children come from diverse and troubling pasts, but God has brought healing to their lives and has offered true hope for the future. The children are ambassadors for the many children in Uganda who need your help to rise out of poverty and devastation to gain education and a support system.

The children who will participate in the 2010 U.S. tour, some of whom are orphans, have proven to be outstanding among their peers – in regards to their musical talents, character, maturity and spiritual life.
