AFRICAN GOSPEL ACAPPELLA
My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long - Psalm 71:8 |
African Gospel Acappella Over Looking The Columbia River
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
African Gospel Acappella is presently comprised of four men (previously six) from the African country of Liberia. They represent four different tribes and sing in several native African languages, and in English (English is the official language of Liberia).
All four men are blind. They have survived a civil war, poverty and many other hardships. The group met many years ago while attending the School for the Blind in Monrovia, Liberia's capitol city.
After the civil war started, all of the men were scattered for a time. Then, in 1992, they regrouped as the "Inspirational Echoes of the Blind." Through song and testimony, they ministered and evangelized throughout the city of Monrovia and beyond.
In 1998, all four men came to America and toured forty-six states as the "Liberian Acapella Choir." Through their ministry efforts, many orphans in Liberia benefited by receiving food and care.
In September of 2002, the group formed the new ministry of African Gospel Acappella. They continue to direct their energy to singing the good news of Jesus Christ, and they are helping the disabled in Africa.
In America alone, the group has sung in more than 1,000 schools and churches. Through song and testimony, they will minister to you about God's love.

The on-going civil war in Liberia destroyed the country's infrastructure. There are no services, or any resources for the disabled. In a country where able-bodied people struggle to find food each day, the disabled are left on the streets surviving the best they can.
African Gospel Acappella's first project is to build a resource center for the blind in Monrovia, Liberia's capitol city. The group currently owns a piece of property in Monrovia on which the center is currently under construction.
One of the group's dreams for the future is to tour throughout Africa and witness to people there.
African Gospel Acappella is a non-profit organization. The ministry is supported through sales of their CD's and contributions from individuals and businesses.
