You can Still see Daraja!

Friends, as many of you may know, the Daraja Children’s Choir of Africa had to cancel its 2011 tours when our request for Visas was denied by the U.S. Embassy in Kenya.

However, you still have an opportunity to worship with the 2011 Choir and to see Daraja Alumni!

This Christmas (December 26-January 4), you and your family can travel to Kenya with Daraja staff to attend our second annual Daraja Alumni Retreat.

Our goal is to spend 3-4 days at a retreat center with former Daraja kids, investing truth, encouragement, and leadership skills in them during their school break. You will spend your trip loving on the kids, debriefing topics through small groups, encouraging them in their daily challenges through family groups, playing games, doing crafts, and perhaps even leading sessions on practical truth and biblical encouragement! We will also be together to celebrate New Years Eve together! What a better way to ring in the new year!

Once this retreat is over, our hope is to take the older Daraja alumni to Ngaamba to worship with the 2011 Daraja children who were not able to travel to see you. Not only will this be a great chance to encourage the 2011 choir, but also to invest important ministry skills into the Daraja alumni.

We truly hope you can join us! The trip will be December 26 – January 4,2012.

Due to the interest in this trip, we have delayed our normal deadlines. The trip will cost a maximum of $3500. If we can get 20 more people on the trip, we will be able to drop the price.

For now, applications are requested with a deposit as soon as possible. The deadline for applications is now November 14th.
50% of the funding is due on Monday, November 14.
100% of the funding is due by Monday, November 28.

  A Note from Our Founder

If we’ve spent any time together, you’ve probably heard me this before: pay attention to who walks through the front door. 

That was some early advice from my friend, Lanny, and it held the test of time. It’s important to keep a lookout for people suddenly crossing your path – God just might be introducing you to someone special. So, when Chris Joiner walked through our front door, I paid attention.  

In 2021, Chris reached out just to have a conversation. Over a few breakfasts, Chris and I discussed our shared passion for changing the way the West church engages the poor. At the time, Chris was working for another non-profit organization, but it quickly became clear that we both sought to create a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the poor.
