FOCUS: An Afro-Centric Gospel Music Ministry

Uthando Lukababa (God's Love)  

FOCUS released an album, Uthando Lukababa (God's Love) in June 2014. This CD features tight African harmonies and chords with a few spunky English songs as well. Copies of the album are being sold quiclky as many of their fans have long awaited this album.

In lieu of the groups vision, "Giving Back to Africa", $3.00 of every CD sold will be donated to COMAC, a Christian boarding school located in Benin City, Nigeria. The much needed funds will be used for the building of a girls, dormitory, staff quarters, and a bus to transport children who are sick to receive medical care in a timely manner. In a community where there is no secondary school and where mainly traditional African religions are practiced, this school will be a light shining in the darkness.
