Today we went to Church in Nasedegu, we took the van and half way there we went onto a dirt road with lots of ruts, it was bumpy, but Ovi did a good job of navigating through it. The singing was great even though I didn’t know the language. The groups that sang anways started in the door way and then shuffled in a single line through the center of the church until they reached the front. Sang their songs and there returned to the back the same way. Pastor Ed preached and 4 adults recieve GOD’S free gift of Salvation. Once again it was a 3 hour service, but didn’t seem like it.
As I sat there listening and seeing the simplicity of the building, sitting on wooden benches, seeing the only instrument being a drum with the bottom broken, These people were singing and dancing their hearts out praising the LORD. It made me think about the letters to the Churches in Revelation and I wonder what would be the letter written to the American Church? Would it be on self centeredness? Greed? Uncaring? Blindness? We have so much but give so little.{I”m pointing my finger at myself as well}
