Youth Mission Chorale Witness: Jason Rockney


[During June and July, 1998, the General Board of Global Ministries led a group of 21 students from United Methodist-related colleges and universities in singing global choral music in the Baltic States and Russia. The participants wrote statements commenting on their experiences. Following is one such statement.]

. . . I will never forget the warm smiling faces, the small girl whose sweet singing made me cry on a Sunday morning, the kind face of the pastor of a small congregation in Haapsalu, or the congregation in Kaunas who sang exuberantly for us. And I will never forget the love and energy God showed through the music we sang.
