People of the blog, "Molowi," meaning good morning. I share with you the church I attended this past Sunday, Sivuyile National Baptist Church. I was also asked to preach. This was the last day of the national recognition of Women's Month. The church was packed as there were also nursing students from the University of Connecticut too. What I can tell you is this place was vibrant, rhythmic, and full of the Holy Spirit. There was dancing in the isles as the music instruments of a drum, hand bag, and plastic pipe set the pace.
Sisters and brothers we started a little after 10am and I did not come up to preach till 12 noon! No one left and in between any silence in our place of worshipping sounds could be heard of other Churches. It was Sunday in the poorest township call Gugulethu and praise was being done. My sermon title was the "Power of Devotion" from Ruth 1:1-18. While every song was done in the xhosa langauge, when I preached they understood me! How powerful is the spirit's work? And then I was presented the most precious gift, a Xhosa Bible, I am still in awe, as I share with you now. Suffice it to say Sunday was a very special day of so many on this journey.
