Angela Donadio
Angela has been singing and playing the piano as long as she can remember and is an Evangel U Music Ed grad. She has been in full-time ministry for 15 years as Worship Pastor at River of Life Worship Center in Fredericksburg, VA, where her husband Dale is Lead Pastor. She also loves being a mom of 2 great kids, Gabrielle and Christian.
While leading solo from the piano or with a band, she is a passionate worshipper and challenges people to see worship as a lifestyle. She travels extensively as a worship leader/workshop guest and as an artist and a speaker, sharing her candid personal testimony of God\'s faithfulness through 2 life-threatening health conditions. Through the message of her music and ministry, she offers valuable insight into maturing with Christ in the midst of difficult situations. Angela expresses God\'s faithfulness to her in many ways, most deeply through writing songs. Heartfelt, authentic, and moving, the songs tell stories of poignant chapters in her journey.
Answering a call and burden for the people of Africa, Angela developed a non-profit ministry, \"Voice of the Voiceless\". Partnering her love for music and passion for the lost, her cd sales and ministry resources fund projects such as Kids Camps and micro-enterprise for women in deprived areas in Ghana, where she has spent over 7 weeks.
Destinations for Angela along the way have included being a Finalist at GMA\'s Immerse National Conference August 2009, seen on Godbeat.com.,performing with artists such as Dino Kartsonakis, Phil Driscoll and David Baroni, and sharing the stage with Fernando Ortega and Devin Webb. She has ministered in many churches and conferences since 2004 within the US, Mexico, Canada, and Ghana, West Africa. She was recently featured at the A/G Potomac District Council where she was asked to sing her original song, \"It\'s a new day\", the title of her 2nd project, a worship album with River of Life. Currently in production, it is scheduled for release in June of 2010.
