Sunday Service in Qwa Qwa

This morning we went into Qwa Qwa for church. What a wonderful experience! Beautiful music and a lot of it. Dancing and clapping in the rows and in the aisles. A great joy that filled the room and poured into the village streets. And they made us feel so welcomed. The pastor began by saying that they didn’t want us to feel at home; rather they wanted us to be at home. Pastor Fotho (left) gave the message and our Thrive Africa pastor Abram Moloi (right) interpreted for us, teaching us how to better walk with God, challenging us to stand up for what’s right, and encouraging us to focus on pleasing God. Afterwards, we had an opportunity to meet more friends in the church. It was a wonderful afternoon! Fortunately, the huge thunderstorm waited until after church and almost until we made it back to base. Sloshing though the tiny rivers and mud, however, we were still grateful for the much needed rain. Please pray for Pastor Fotho and his congregation - that they continue to grow and have a great impact in their village.

Modimo a o hlohonolofatse (God bless you).
