Learning How to Really Praise Jesus

The air was filled with electric excitement -- all because of Jesus! Sunday Susan spent the day learning how to really praise Jesus - her new African friends taught her as they danced, swayed with raised hands, sang, confessed sin, and SHOUTED PRAISES to our Amazing King!

She was overwhelmed with the love and faith displayed by the people she encountered. People who trust God just to be able to continue to exist today. People who are so amazingly grateful for every single blessing they receive.

At the tent revival meeting she attended more than 40 people went forward to receive Jesus. At one of the church meetings a woman stepped to the microphone and bared her sin of drug use earlier that week and gave thanks for Jesus' forgiveness. The common occurrence at each of the three services she attended was that it was really
about worshiping God, singing and praising - people from the crowd going to the microphone to share what God had taught them or how God had cared for them that week ... that the pastor's message was a very very brief one at the end of the service, not the central component of the service. It was a refreshing time of happy holy moments.
