Another Sunday on the Road -- Part 2

We arrived at the church with a HUGE crowd of people singing praises to the Lord. Wow!
The children, of course, came to greet us!
They sat us up front....again
The HUGE crowd!!!
The sweet faces that kept crowding in behind us.
The offering.... money, sugar cane, coconuts, oranges,
rice, sweet potatoes, a chicken and a goat 
Mark....preaching the Truth!
Some of those who came forward to receive Christ
This little one's life changed that day.....his mom received salvation in Christ!

After the service we broke for lunch (at 2:00). The hosting church always makes lunch for the special guests.

Goat!
Meghan loved the goat! Really!
Good stuff....rice, goat, chicken, sweet potato fries
(we are sitting on the "alter" part of the church)
other members of this congregation ate behind us in the church building
Meghan wanted you to see how hot it was.
Inside the church had to be 110 degrees
The other churches make their own meals. Here is a group eating together.
Here is another lady working on her group's lunch.
#2 reason I came to Africa.....African children
(The first reason is to proclaim the gospel)
Lilly found a puppy to pet
After lunch the people had a praise and worship time 
that last for about 2 hours.
Here is the drummer setting up
(see the video below for the songs)
We wanted you to get a taste of Mozambican worship. There are many believers in this small region of the country because so many have come before us, preaching the word of God! There is much work to be done in other parts where there are no followers of Jesus. Enjoy their praise!



And then we were off! Here are the sights out of our car windows.

Out the left
Out the right
On the way back we stopped at the new well for a dedication prayer.
The beautiful African sky at dusk was a perfect backdrop!
A local pastor spoke to the crowd about the Living Water
Emma and her cup of clean water
Everywhere we went we were given gifts.
This is the collection in the back of the Dina's truck.
We got really dirty during our day out.
We had to show you just how dirty :)
