God's Word


God's Word

I absolutely love this picture.....this group of Central Africans are listening to God's Word being preached during a Sango service. This is a church that we had gone to for several weeks, while temporarily living in a colleagues home. We attended the earlier service on Sunday morning which was spoken in French and this picture was taken during a Sango service (which is about an hour after the French service). What is difficult to tell from this picture is this church seats about 1,200 people.....so, as you can see there is well more than that, that are seeking to hear God's Word in Sango. The French language is the govermental language of Central Africa, while Sango is the national language. It is amazing to me and it fills my heart with such joy to see these people willing to stand during a 3 hour long Sango service. Makes me wonder....how long would we be willing to stand while listening to God's Word.
