prayer in the heart of africa

today we went to a handicapped home with over 100 mentally and physically disabled kids and young adults. we walked around and talked with some of them and then everyone grouped together so we could sing, share testimonies, and pray together. I'm starting to feel like I'm saying the same thing over and over again but it was incredible. this must be a country of passion because every thing that I've seen be done has been full of passion and sincerity. we sang a few songs that the kids all know and love and the smiles on their faces were priceless. I sat by a few that kept looking at me excitedly and held my hand and hugged me and were just so precious in every way. after our time together, they went back to class and we headed over to prayer mountain. it was more of like one of those mountain hill areas that you can hike or whatnot but it had people praising and worshiping our Lord. people praying and singing, on their knees, on their faces, walking and yelling all for Jesus Christ. it was amazing to see them, see the view over the city, and to just hang out with God for a few hours. when we were leaving we saw monkeys and fed them some bananas. cute little guys. it was a slower paced day but I think everyone's week is starting to catch up to them because we're still all tired. one more week left and more great things to come.
