This summer, we host a worship competition. Through praising God with song and dance, many of us can submerge ourselves in a worship atmosphere to share true happiness. This is also one of many positive and learning activities in the summer.
"I will be the coordinator, Jim will help with sound. Amy and Fan will be the event host." Children gather and discuss the many details for the 3rd annual worship competition by Agape Children's Home.

With all the prizes and rehearsal scripts ready for the two hosts, all things are ready as we wait for the day of competition to come. The day finally arrived. Contestants came early to rehearse and brainstorm how they could make the performance better. After everyone knows their places, the event was underway.
