GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT

Symphony of Hope

Symphony of Hope works with orphaned, abandoned, refugee, and at-risk youth across the world.

SoH equips the youth to be leaders and musical ambassadors to their nations through instrumental music education, evangelism, and discipleship.

The youth who get trained and discipled often get to play their country’s national anthem for heads of state or dignitaries.

 

Where has Symphony of Hope been this year?

In April 2024, Symphony of Hope went to the island of Kosrae, Micronesia.

SoH trained dozens of children on the violin and the group performed for the Governor of Kosrae, as well as the Minister of Tourism and Foreign Affairs for all of Micronesia.

This excellent performance resulted in an invitation to the capital of Micronesia to play for the government there, as well as the video of their national anthem performance being used for all legal functions in the future.

Wow!  These youth really impressed their leaders!

Who knows what they will accomplish next!

 

 

In August 2024, Symphony of Hope traveled to Papua New Guinea.

Within the first two weeks, 27 children who had never seen or played the violin before, learned to play their own national anthem, along with the national anthem of Argentina.

The following week, these kids got the opportunity of their lives!

Pope Francis was coming through during his international tour. The SoH youth ministered through music to Pope Francis and shared their testimonies of faith to an audience of over 160,000 people plus millions of others who were watching online!

A few weeks before, these youth had no idea what a violin was.

Now they are proficiently playing violins before the Pope and the world!

There are so many benefits to Symphony of Hope sharing their talents with countries around the world:

  • underprivileged youth learn a skill, get empowered, and have incredible experiences that change their lives forever;
  • leaders and dignitaries get reminded of the power of coming together for their countries and sharing their nation’s talents with the world; and
  • so many people hear about Jesus and get ministered to in the process.

We are delighted to support Symphony of Hope

and hope you will join us in sending them to the next country

where they will make a huge difference for youth and for eternity!
