Wed. August
14-- Pointe Noire
We are enjoying our visit to
Pointe Noire. After a long day of travel, we were treated to a spirit filled
worship service. We arrived to the sound
of singing and rejoicing! The music here is wonderful. I am always amazed at how much sound is
produced when everyone joins in praising God! This small congregation puts ours
to shame! Yes, that is a challenge to you at home. Next time we worship together, don’t think
about how well you sing or let others sing for you, praise the Lord with all of
your heart and I’m sure we will produce equally amazing praises to God. During the service, we sang songs, prayed,
heard scripture read, we presented a drama and a puppet show, and Matthew gave
a message. We also sang, “Making Melodies” for the kids. This song is so memorable that many children
and adults began smiling the moment Matthew introduced it! They still
remembered it from 2 years ago! Peter and Mark gave their testimonies, which
were heartfelt and well received. One
memorable moment for me was as worship ended, the girls’ choir began singing
“We Are Marching” in English. I went
over and joined in singing with them. It
was really wonderful to be able to sing together in the same language. As we
concluded we handed out crosses to the kids.
We were then asked to pose for a picture. This turned into picture after
picture with different members and families.
We felt like Disney characters that everyone wanted to pose with! This just shows how much they appreciate our
visit and want to be in relationship with us. We praise God for this
opportunity and thank all of our senders! The people here also send their
greetings to you!
