Agapella

Last Christmas, Monte (my husband) and I were so blessed to catch the singing group Agapella at the Esplanade. It was awesome, their beautiful voices blended so amazingly. They even used their voices to produce the sound of drums, trumpets and even animals. They were so talented.

The following is a short description of their beginning from their website at http://www.agapella.net/Agape/About_Us_Beginnings.html

“In Aug 2002, God tapped Sherman Ong a.k.a “our fearless leader” on the shoulder (which explains the occasional dislocations) and gave him the idea to start an a cappella group. Phone calls were made, a meeting was called, and Agapella was born. Some years, many gigs, countless rehearsals, a few alumni, and even a wedding or two later, here we still are: a bunch of people with diverse characters and occupations, from different churches – but united by the desire to lift up God’s name in music.”

After the enchanting performance, Monte and I chatted with one of the singers. We learnt from him that they do minister in churches and sometimes they will support churches in their evangelistic services. The ministry of song and music is a God given ministry that reaches out to the lost and draws believers closer to our God and Father.
