Unfortunately when they have amplification it's also ear-splitting loud, but when it's just voices and hands in less developed (no electricity) areas, it's heart-rendingly beautiful.<br /><br />Kim@Starry Sky -- while growing up I spent several summers in Germany (my mother was German).

The pastor is from Ghana...what joy it is to listen and learn along with the handful of others that gather there.

I particularly love the second one (the portrait, basically--it's my favorite!), the one of the children lined up and the church.

I work at a center that sounds similar in Mozambique - we are a children's center, provide school, clinic, church, evangelism, pastor's school, etc. So this post is right up my alley - I hope you share even more photos! Would love to know more about what prompted the trip and what they experienced.

We are in Germany and Fanta is ever present here too. Americans might imagine Pepsi or Coke to be the universal beverages. Not so. : ) Very cool to see a silly constant like that appear across cultures.Kim@Starry Sky Ranchhttp://www.starryskyranch.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-20193517495258279772012-01-22T07:09:18.265-06:002012-01-22T07:09:18.265-06:00My husband was an M.K. who grew up in Senegal, Wes...My husband was an M.K. who grew up in Senegal, West Africa.
