Question 3

"What are church services like in Africa?"

I've never been in a church service in the USA that is anything like church service in a village in Africa. The service begins with a prayer meeting as everyone arrives. Service may be scheduled to start at 9:30 am but Africa runs on an entire different schedule. People will arrive throughout the morning. Once the worship team has arrived, the fun begins. Break out the hand drums and get ready to dance! An hour of praise and worship breaks out with the entire congregation breaking into song and dance. After about an hour long sermon, be expected to share as a guest in the church. There are times you'll be given the entire sermon on a moments notice, as a special guest. Be ready in season and out! :) The service closes with prayer, more singing and dancing, and the congregation wide hand shake. As everyone files out of the church a line forms where everyone greets each other with handshakes, and possibly more singing and dancing. There's nothing quite like it!
