They have also partnered with Compassion International, an international ministry that sponsors children in third world countries, helping to feed, clothe and most importantly, introduce them to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Chosen Ones are the host of one of Illinois’ most popular Southern Gospel concert events, the Manchester Music Festival, an annual outdoor event in the middle of August. They have also been a vital part of Magnify Ministries and have recently joined the performing roster of the Mid America Gospel Music Association.
