Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church

The purpose of the Northern Illinois Annual Conference is to make disciples for Jesus Christ by equipping its local faith communities for a ministry of witness, justice, hope and love, and by providing a connection for mission beyond the congregation; all to the glory of God.

The goal of the concert tour is to raise money to fund a music school in Kenya. “The Jirani Children’s Choir Concerts will be an amazing experience, especially for children and youth,” says Rev. Im Jung who is helping arrange for the choir’s visit. Churches are encouraged to bring children and youth - children’s choirs, Sunday School classes, youth groups, and Vacation Bible School groups to the concerts. “We hope that children from across the world can offer hope to each other,” says Rev. Jung. “These children show us that out of nothing can come something very great.”
