Sunday in Africa

While in Nigeria, we had the opportunity to visit our church home in Lagos and Abuja. It has been so incredible meeting brothers and sisters. The churches were very similar to my home church in San Antonio with the same songs and worship format, except for the big party style of music with drums, piano, African instruments and dance. A great deal of singing and dancing. The church is studying out the book of Romans. The minister wife who had a stroke this past Feb. while visiting in the US was at church for the first time since her return to Nigeria. She is walking and sends her love and thanks for the many prayers. The church in Abuja is in a local school building and the church in Lagos has their own building complex. The Abuja has about 100 members and the Lagos church has over 1000. It has been a joy being able to meet so many brothers and sisters of the same faith.
