I've uploaded two short clips from Sunday morning worship service at the little church we attended in Bobo Dioulasso. You can access them on youtube from the links below.
This church was about a 15-minute walk from our home, a walk through the developing neighborhood of half-built concrete block houses mixed with temporary clay "place holder" homes. I'll call this the suburbs, the city wanna-be without the noise and crowding, a place half-way into the bush, scattered with as many fields and trees as there are houses and people.
When the path of red sand and wheel ruts curves toward two homes and a millet field, we see the children's class meeting outside or we hear many voices praying.
I explained some of the service previously: the multiple translations, the open windows, the almost endless singing...
But even a short video will tell you more than my words.
Sabari Ka Di - clip 1
People are willing and excited to bless, thank, and petition God through prayer! Don't be shy; God wants to hear your voice. (At the end of clip 1, volunteers quickly stood up one by one to pray.)
Sabari Ka Di - clip 2
I hope we can find a church with this much welcome and enthusiasm in our new neighborhood.
