On November 13-16, Zion TV Channel 44 Phoenix, Arizona Presented Raquel In: "A Woman`s Soul" "Alma De Mujer" - November 24, 2008
Raquel was invited by Zion TV Channel 44 and Zion Magazine from November 13 to November 16 of 2008. Zion TV and staff took Raquel in a mini tour around Phoenix singing and sharing the story about her music ministry and her missionary project with the Wema-Home women and children in Benin, Africa.
She was interviewed live on the program "Alma De Mujer" on channel 44 and during that time Raquel was able to sing live, pray and talk to the audience as they would call to the TV station.
Phoenix got to know about her childhood, her life as a musician, her music, her testimony and her mission in Benin, Africa but most of all about the sincere love that Raquel has for people and the immense meaning and positive impact that God has in Raquel`s life.
These are pictures of the wonderful, sincere, real and loving friends that I met in Zion TV Channel 44 in Phoenix, Arizona. They gave me so much love during my stay. I thank them and I love them with all of my heart. They will never be forgotten! God is in their hearts!
Sincerely: with all of my love, Raquel.

Story of Margate Youth Concert Held On Saturday, August, 30, 2008 In Florida - September 2, 2008
The Youth Concert was held Saturday, August 30, 2008 at 5:30pm in the afternoon. It was a blast! The audience was interacting with me during the concert, talking to me, laughing and singing.
They really enjoyed it and I was very happy that I was able to bring a little joy into their hearts and into my heart. I met some of my old friends that I had not seen in a long time and also new friends.
My favorite part is when they hug me and tell me with a big smile on their faces how much they enjoyed my music and the concert. In this particular concert I felt a big and close connection with the audience.
They expressed to me that they felt like if they were family to me and knew me for a long time. I was real and really down to earth and extremely sincere and friendly with them.
They loved the short stories between the songs and the reasons why I wrote them. I simply love singing and sharing my music from my heart with my friends, family and the audience. I love people!!! They are awesome!
