Angelique Kidjo- Agbalagba

A patient of mine recently returned from a mission trip to the western part of Africa.
The group that went totaled 13 people.
There is a tribe there that has no access to the Gospel in their native dialect.
This particular mission team went with the objective of performing a wordless drama that depicts the Gospel as well as other Bible truths.  They were also training some of the full-time missionary teams there to do the drama as well.
Love has no color.  It has no nationality.  It has no language.
Angelique Kidjo, also from the western region of Africa, is a Grammy award winning singer, dancer, and songwriter.
She creates music that crosses boundaries, genres and ethnicities, finding the connections that link musical forms from every part of the world,while still bonding closely with her own traditions.
Her most recent release, "Oyo", features songs that influenced her as she was growing up, from traditional West African artists, as well as Western artists such as James Brown, Bono, and Otis Redding. 
This is the final track from the album.  Simply beautiful.
Speaking of beautiful, Wifey is leaving in September on her first mission trip.  She is traveling to Indonesia to help create a time of retreat and encouragement to a group of female missionaries that are in full-time service in that country.
She and her team have to raise prayer support as well as financial support for expenses.
If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation to her trip, you may send a check made out to FBCW or First Baptist Church of Woodstock (nothing on the comment line, please) and send it to:
