DAY NINE

Our busy day began with the team dividing into groups (led by Pastor Chiz, Barbara and Bryce), where we would spend the morning ministering at three different churches within the Rwamagana district. I was part of Bryce's group, which included Bridget, Elizabeth, Kate, Annette and Ryan. We had the privilege of visiting a pentecostal church under the pastoral leadership of our AEE family member, Ezekiel. Approaching the church, we could hear the joyous sounds of the African choir in full force, emanating from inside.

The church was a modest establishment made of simple mud brick with dirt floors - the main decoration in the room was the 250 colourfully dressed adults and children in passionate praise and worship. Indeed, throughout our trip we have been blessed to experience the power, depth and emotion conveyed through song and dance of African people.
