This is an awesome example of the power of God in Vi's life. The example of the power of one person in the lives of children that live in a world of fear, pain and negativity. It is the responsibility of us all to reach out and inspire our children. Instead of looking at them as thugs we see them as great being of this world that we have been blessed with the presence of watching, influencing and cherishing. We need more of this in the media, it is the essence of real LIFE......

This was and is a truly inspiring story; Teenagers lives that have been changed and that have been given the chance to use their gifts to give and to receive the love that we all search for: the love of God, which is what Gospel music is all about. But no where in your report is even a veiled reference to God. When the youth sing " He is alive", we who Christians know that they sing of Jesus. That is what the word gospel means: the story of Jesus, the Christ, Messiah, the one who came to save us. Please at least mention that God is present for
these exceptional, talented and beautiful young people in what they do. Thank you
