Anthony Evans Tours, Ministers With World Vision

The singer/songwriter continues to tour this fall promoting his third CD The Bridge (EMI Gospel); he has also been able to reach out to the “widows and orphans.”

This summer, Evans worked with hundreds of families attending Pine Cove, a Christian camp located in his home state of Texas. Pine Cove - a place Evans himself once frequented- offers programs for youth of all ages. His time there over the course of this summer allowed Evans to share his music ministry and begin work with the organization, World Vision, encouraging other attendees to do the same.

The attending families learned that through World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice, they could sponsor their very own child, specifically from Ethiopia. According to Evans, the participation was overwhelming, so much so that several chose to sponsor as many children as they had in their own families. In all, an astounding 400 children were sponsored, proving that an entire community in Ethiopia is now impacted due to these efforts.

“My passion for this organization deepened considerably when they allowed me the opportunity to go and spend a day with my sponsored child, Forget,” states Evans. “There aren’t words to explain what it meant to sit with him, a young boy’s life of which is now changed because of a very small sacrifice. It is my honor and privilege to give my audiences the opportunity to make a world of difference in the life of a child.”
