The first Restore Tour: Child Soldier No More event kicked off at Wave Church in Virginia Beach, US on Friday, 17th September. The children were excited and delivered the heart-rendering tale of northern Uganda and her people with passion and zeal.
There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as those attending were impacted by the story of restoration and forgiveness shared through drama, music, dance and personal testimony. The delivery of the song Our God was so moving that it can only be described as a ‘heaven-breathed’ time of worship. All those attending leaped to their feet, giving glory to God as the children lead them in this beautiful song. It was such incredibly powerful and impactful evening. 
Pastor Greg at Wave church commented, “Restore Tour allows people to connect with the real stories of these children. I have seen many Watoto Choir concerts and they are always life-changing. On another level, Restore Tour allowed me to feel like I was transported to northern Uganda and connect at the deepest level with the stories of these courageous people.”
One of the children, Florence, had a surprise visit from one of her sponsors, Madelyn. It was a special moment as they met for the first time. There were about 10 people around to witness their meeting and everyone was in tears as they realised what a difference one person can make in the life of a child.
The next two shows took place in Pennsylvania over the weekend. Restore Tour heads to Life Church in Memphis, Tennessee this Wednesday, 22 September. For the full tour schedule, click here.
