“We’re grateful to be at a place in life where God is allowing us to be part of something bigger, to see a bigger picture,” says Janna Long, one of the founding members of Avalon.

Jody McBrayer adds, "For me, child sponsorship is truly an amazing thing. Not only does it change the life of a child forever, but it also teaches us to appreciate every bit of what God has blessed us with."

Avalon is currently soaring beyond 3 million record sales worldwide and has recently been welcomed into the Women of Faith family, performing at 24 of the events in 2006, in addition to their current concert dates.
