We're International medalists! This morning we took home a SILVER MEDAL in the Champions Competition at the World Choir Games!!!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU to all our family, friends, patrons, and fans! From the start we have ridden a tremendous wave of support from you all, and when we received our medal this morning, we stood on your shoulders. It has been a tremendous privilege to sing for you and represent you all before the world.
We pray that God will use this to work the greatest good for His glory and the welfare of souls! Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give the glory!
