Contemporary Christian band Casting Crowns will again participate in North Korea's annual Spring Friendship Arts Festival but this time won't be the only U.S. Christian group there performing.
The Grammy Award-winning band will be joined by the Annie Moses Band (AMB), a five-sibling ensemble whose ages range from ten to 24.
"In early December we received an official invitation from the North Korean government to perform in the Spring Friendship Arts Festival," AMB lead vocalist and violinist Annie Wolaver told The Christian Post on Friday.
"We have been praying for many years that the Lord would open doors for us to tour overseas. We had some grand visions of playing Celtic jigs in the Scottish highlands, but instead He opened a door that was entirely unexpected," she reported.
