Learn About Nashville-Based Non-Profit Organization Instruments Of Joy
How They Got Started?
On a short-term missions trip to Malawi, the founder of Watermelon Ministries, Joshua MacLeod, met a young musician who had fashioned a hand made “guitar” from a gas can and a block of wood. This young man had immense musical potential, but was limited by his life circumstances. He was using his “guitar” to bring joy to young orphans in his community.
