Mwangaza

We had the privilege of being inspired by this group of young people. They traveled 8,000 miles to get here and show America the hope they have found in Jesus Christ. With all the tragedies that Africans face daily, these kids are living proof of how we can make a difference in the lives of others. It's amazing to see how much passion they have for this ministry, of bringing more kids alongside them to become sponsored, and also spreading the news of how the gospel has given them hope in life. I encourage you to visit their web page and consider sponsoring a child in need.

I was in awe several times throughout the night, but in particular to the fact that they recognized our country as being founded on the Bible. It's a shame that our country doesn't live up to what we once stood for, and that there are some who want to change what we once stood for. I was also taken back by the amount of energy and zeal they have for God. Why are we not that way? It's so easy to become lazy in the Christian walk (especially in America where we think all of our needs are met) and I have struggled with this too many times to count. How can we encourage one another to not become too comfortable in life?

Here are a few clips from last night. This first one was my favorite because it is so ethnic, but the second one gives you an idea as to how great they performed.







Oh I could just keep them all...
