The "Yerg-Yergots" (Song o Songs) women' chorus of the Armenian Missionary Association, founded in March 1997, in Yerevan, gave concerts in France, from March 8-29, 2001. This was their first performance outside the borders of Armenia. They were invited by the Armenian Evangelical Church of France, and the purpose of their trip was the spreading of the Gospel, in connection with the 1700th anniversary of the adoption of Christianity as a state religion in Armenia.

The choir gave 12 concerts during their stay. They performed spiritual and traditional songs in Paris, Lyon, Valence and Marseilles.

The choir was warmly received wherever they performed, proving that the Armenian youth is alive and that it brings joy to the Armenian Diaspora in France.

During the past 10 years the AMAA has carried out Christian Education programs for children, teenagers and the young people of Armenia. We¹ll write a more detailed description of these programs in one of our future letters. The "Yerg-Yergots" choir is a direct result of these programs, and we¹re glad that the young believers of Armenia pass on their faith with great vigor inside and outside of their homeland.
