I love African church. I don't have much to say other than that I love it because nothing else does it justice. It's like nothing I've ever experienced in America. It's loud and lasts forever, but the goodness and joy of the Lord are so evident. The church we attended this morning literally neighbored shacks. It was incredible to be able to worship and proclaim our God I'm absolute destitution . To see the joy and thankfulness these people have in the midst of so much suffering was and always is so life changing. The have real life-big problems, and still they sing of the goodness, grace, and provision of a good and loving God. I want to be like them. To be able to say "God you are good and I trust you" despite my circumstances. Everyday I am learning far more from these people than I am teaching. Blessed blessed blessed.
