This is a special occasion as I am able to blog two days in a row, but this day is really worth mentioning and we have internet use. Today was an amazing day as us girls were able to go to lift up the Father’s name with a group of followers. It was such an amazing experience! I love how the Africans worship our Father! It is beyond words.
First, there is such a thing as participatory worship for all you Southern Followers who think not. It was amazing to see all the people coming and signing, clapping hands, and dancing. Everyone was participating and leading. It was not so much about organization, but about being there together and praising the one who united them as one body! (i tried to download the video, but it is not working 😦 )
The second part I loved about it was the joyful giving. The people started all singing and formed a line and were dancing up to the front to give money. First the men gave their money (which us girls did not know so we just gave our money during this time. I guess we decided to add a little bit of American Feminism to their service 😉 ). Then the second time they all went singing and dancing and the women gave money. It was such an example of what it means to trust in Him and to be a joyful giver.
After the service many people came up to shake our hands. They tried to speak English, but it was not so good. I tried to speak French but I was not so good. It was great to be there with my brothers and sisters knowing that we were all speaking the same language, the language of the one who has saved and redeemed those to whom he has called.
