Overview

Mission

The Daraja Choir's purpose is to inspire people towards intimacy with Jesus Christ.

What it reported doing in 2024

The mission of the Daraja Choir is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Services were offered to cultivate a choir made up of individuals from the US, Uganda, and Kenya, allowing them to take part in various projects, opportunities, and experiences, as well as engaging in any other activities that share the love of Jesus Christ. Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the Choir has not toured the US. In 2024, the focus continued to be on the spiritual development of former choir members and education.
