Christmas- African style!
Christmas day, we had a glorious celebration! Three churches (Fumagira, Igekamaja, and Mayoka) met together at Igekamaja to celebrate Christ's birth.
A truckload of over 100 people from Fumagira, arriving for the celebration.
John and Yohana, the "dynamic duo" from Fumagira, leading the singing.
3 choirs each sang several special Christmas songs that they had written for this year's Christmas. Choir from Fumagira:
Children from Igekamaja quoted Psa 23, 100, and Jn 1:1-3.
Mariamu, Ngamba, and I taught "children's church" with over 100 children.
57 baptisms this year!
Afterwards we were all served HUGE plates of rice and beef. We missionaries donated by purchasing the cow. Other church members brought rice and beans. The ladies of Igekamaja started cooking early Christmas morning.
Yes, I missed my family this Christmas, but counted it a great privilege to be apart of this African celebration of our Savior!!
