Thank you for your performance,
African Gospel a cappella!

African Gospel a cappella is comprised of six men who are all 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. They have performed in Liberia and forty-six states in the United States. They now live in Vancouver, Washington, and continue to perform in schools and churches in Washington and Oregon.

The African Gospel a cappella performed at the recent Oregon Synod Assembly, and now you may experience the joy of their music and faith at an evening of music and inspiration at Bethany Lutheran Church.

A free will offering will be received, and CD’s of African Gospel A cappella will be available for purchase. Please join us for this very special evening at Bethany Lutheran Church
