Photo Gallery An Evening of African Elegance
ON SATURDAY EVENING, November 6, 2004, Shiloh Old Site's Norma Burruss Foreign Missions Ministry presented An Evening of African Elegance at the James Monroe High School auditorium in Fredericksburg, Virginia. >> For a full gallery of photos from the evening, click here. The program, which was a fund-raising benefit for the church's humanitarian work in Benin, West Africa, featured the incredible fashions of Madame Honorine Amoussou of Benin (who spent four weeks in residence at Shiloh Old Site), plus the dancing of the FloydProject Dance Troupe of Washington, D.C., and the singing of Mr. Anthony Campbell. Members of Shiloh Old Site and their friends served as models. His Excellency Cyrille S. Oquin, Ambassador of Benin to the United States, and his wife were present as honored guests. Shiloh Old Site's own Pamela Bridgewater, who serves as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs in the U.S. State Department, was also present. Shiloh Baptist Church (Old Site) has established an ongoing relationship with the talented but predominantly impoverished people of Benin. So far, funding from the church has been provided for a new well in a poor village and for the educational needs of a number of school children. "An Evening of African Elegance" was designed to deepen the two-way relationship between Shiloh Old Site and the people of Benin, while simultaneously raising money to help the church provide even more support for the people of Benin in the future. Honorine Amoussoue worshipped with Shiloh Old Site during each of the four Sundays that she was in Fredericksburg, and members and friends of the church have commissioned her to make additional clothing for them in the future.
