Worshiping Abroad

SUNDAY WORSHIP in Nigeria was a wonderful experience this morning. Hands clapping, people dancing, obvious praise and prayer to the Father . . . It’s just incredible being in a different part of the world and still openly joining with brothers and sisters in Christ as we worship the same God! There are so many people that don’t know the truth – even here – but today was a reminder of God’s hand at work in people’s hearts. It’s truly refreshing to share the joy of the Lord with strangers in another land and culture. <><

I’m just so thankful that we’ve started this trip in giving glory to God! And now the time comes for us to journey deep into the “bush” and to mingle among those that have never heard the gospel. We’re not sure if they’ve ever seen foreigners, and we may not be welcome among their villages. I pray that the chiefs in the various villages will be open to our presence and our words. And we definitely have some adventure heading our direction . . . especially in the ways that we’ll be living, traveling, and eating – (not to mention the lack of bathroom facilities)! :-)
