Sundays are for the girls and God

Every Sunday is our dedicated to church and is also our girls night. So Sunday I went to my first African church service. It was fun and not quite as long as I expected. We got to church early or late I don’t really know which one since there were two services. As we waited for church I decided to try and make friends after a few failed attempts I made some friends.

We came from training camp where we were taught about how to handle life on the field, our identity in Christ, how to minister to people, and what  true christian community looks like.
