Wow, that church service was THE experience of a lifetime. It was filled with lively music and traditional African dance. It was the most beautiful church service I have ever been to. Gene, our team photographer took a video of it and when I get it back from him, I will post it. Words or pictures cannot describe this service. Emotions took over me when the first dance group came to perform because you could just see their bodies being filled by the Holy Spirit and their faces reflected perfect, pure love for their one and only Lord Savior. So, yes I started crying in the middle of the church service because I have never seen God's love so raw and so pure. I wish you all could experience this, because it's just amazing. I told my mom if our church services were like this at home, everyone would go. It was fun without losing focus on why and what we were there for, the dancing did not take away from the glory of God, but instead added a whole new level of glory. The Africans have much passion and true love for their Jesus, something I wish we had more of in the States. Only prayer and God can change that. That will my be personal prayer tonight that we will all one day be filled so much with the praise and glory for God that we can't resist getting up and dancing in the aisles or streets or wherever we may be. Dancing for the kingdom and the celebration of freedom in Jesus. Just dancing and giving praise to the God who started it all.
