Fundraiser for the WOW Kids Dance Team

WOW Kids Dance Team

WOW Kids has started a dance team with four kids that live in East Lake.  We performed for the first time at the WOW Kids Music Camp this past Sunday.

One of our goals for the dance team is for the kids to stay culturally relevant as they bring the Gospel to their community.  One of the ways we do this is through Lecrae's raps.  The kids in East Lake LOVE Lecrae so much!

Lecrae is on the Unashamed Tour right now and they will be in Atlanta next Friday (October 19th).  This would be HUGE if our dance team could go to this concert.  Not only would it impact them spiritually, but they would get to see African-American men using their talent to glorify God up on stage.  They never see that in their community.  All they see are the secular rap stars on TV.

I know that this is super-short notice, but I believe that if God wants these kids to go then He will provide.  He provided for my 18th birthday wish to the Atlanta Dream Center and I'm praying that He will provide for this also.

The Cost

  • $132 for tickets.  The tickets are $22 a person and we taking four kids from the dance team and two chaperons.
  • $100 for gas to get to Atlanta and back home.
  • $100 for dinner.
Total Cost: $332

If you feel like God is laying it on your heart to contribute in any way, please contact me.  Thank you for taking the time to read this!
