Afrizo - October 2, 2007

Afrizo

Afrizo, the touring choir from Daystar University, a Christian Liberal Arts College in Kenya, Africa, offered a spirited concert of music and dance in the Ministry Center at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 2, 2007, as part of their U.S. tour to to help celebrate the 25-year anniversary of Daystar US, a supporting agency for Daystar, and to raise money for undergraduate scholarships and scholarships for their Christian Ministries Training program. Dr. Paul Kirbas has been a member of the board of Daystar US since 2002.  We also welcomed the Vice Chancellor of Daystar, Dr. Godfrey Gnuru, who provided more information about Daystar and its mission at a dinner at 6:00 p.m. the same evening hosted by First Presbyterian Church.

Our thanks to Joan Reuss and to Judy McAtee of the Western Springs Presbyterian Church, a friend of Pastor Caryle Aitken Wilkie, for loaning us the items from Kenya to decorate our church in honor of our guests from Daystar University, and to Joan Reuss for organizing the display and decorations.

These four photos were taken outside the Ministry Center after the concert while the singers were selling their CDs.

Their CDs can also be purchased online at the DaystarUS website, and samples of some of their songs are available on the same page in mp3 format.

Our thanks to Phyllis Josephson for the photos and to both Joan Reuss and Phyllis Josephson for the information!
