CHURCH in all parts of the world! AMERICA: Stand and sing Clap after someone talks or something important happens Use instruments to drowned out voices Sing quieter Everyone sits wherever they want Can wear whatever we want Sing for 20 min maybe Its only 1-2 hours Kids go to classes and all ages sit where they want. Have a plan to practice what we sing every week We don’t dance-usually people are embarrassed Do communion We pass around a bag for offering, down each aisle Don’t need a translator Pastor stands in front on a stage. People don’t put a random baby on your lap We have...

So here we are in the final weeks of my stay here in Africa. We have transitioned to our new location in Nsoko. The scenery is breath taking and the feeling here is so different, but i love it. Before we transitioned we had a few days of relaxation in South Africa where i was able to have my first real shower in 2 months (gross i know). Along with this, one particular night we had a time of worship. There were three men from south africa that came over to our hostel and just sang songs. During this time we were asked to use our creative side and draw, if we wanted to, what God was putting...

Blog November 11th. This past week in Nsoko has been a very long one. Mid De-brief was so relaxing and very much needed. We got to take real showers for the first time in 2 months! Showers that were inside! And did not require a bucket and a little cup. For the first time in two months, we were actually clean! And it felt amazing!

It is a lot hotter here than it is in Timbutini, but it’s just as beautiful ☺ My favorite thing to do here so far is help...

  Do you know what it feels like to be called by God to something? I do. Often it starts out as a feeling or an idea that grows and I pray about or God presses on my heart until it become obvious that this is what God is saying. Sometimes. Sometimes, it doesn’t take that much work or thought and its just right there ‘This is what I am calling you too’.  Like, I wanted to come to Africa for several years. But it wasn’t until now that things started to fall into place and I started to ask God what His plan was that I am here. Now, I feel that God called me here.  ...

I love those moments when God chooses to reveal Himself to us, those moments when God is so evident in our lives. I love when I can look at an experience and say “That was so God.”  We often have worship as a team. Something that we have been learning and living is that worship doesn’t have one set formula. It can look different for everyone. The other night, we sat outside and marveled at the night sky that God created. Then, we started talking about experiences that we’ve had where the only explanation is God. I’m going to share a couple of mine in this blog...
