Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter in order to commemorate Christ’s suffering and death on the cross. Many of the churches in Africa celebrate this day to remember that Jesus, who never sinned, willingly chose to die on the cross so that we could be forgiven of our sins. Then, three days later, He rose from the grave showing us that He has power over death.
I had the privilege of spending an entire day (8:30am-5:00pm) praising and worshipping God with members from five churches throughout Soweto. We listened to four different sermons from four pastors and heard testimonies from members of each church.
We spent a lot of time worshipping through song. Stephanie, Rachel and I even joined together with some of our closest friends to sing a song.
The children enjoyed playing with each other during the breaks.
Some of the Gogo’s (grandmothers) were up all night preparing our lunch of chicken, pap, rice, cole slaw, bread, and vegetables.
Kabelo was our "usher" as we took up an offering.
Before the service was over, we all celebrated the Lord’s Supper.
Please pray for these five churches: Faith Baptist, Lehae Baptist, Good News Baptist, Immanuel Baptist and Kliptown Baptist.
