Suzanne was part of pioneering a church in Seattle in the early 1970's where she heard Ray Barnett speak about the persecuted church around the world. By the late '70's Suzanne was working full time for Ray and his efforts to help the persecuted church in Eastern Europe and Uganda.
Suzanne and another volunteer, Rod Forrest were with Ray after he had returned from one of his trips to Uganda. But this time Ray was challenged to do more to help the 100,000+ orphans in the Luwero Triangle, many of them the children of Christian martyrs as a result of the prolonged civil war. It was then Ray shared his vision of the African Children's Choir - a truly impossible dream!
