On a Sunday morning recently we attended an amzaing worship service. People from over 10 People Groups attend this church and worship toegether in unity, celebrating their uniqueness. Church "started" at 9:00, but it wasn't until about 10:00 that things really got going. Each group had a turn to go up front and sing/dance in their own heart language, whatever song they choose. It was amazing to see the differences in dress, jewelry, body markings, dance style and hear all the different languages. Some of these languages were Fulbe, Beri Beri, Hausa, Zerma, French, Songhai.

Even us "Americanos" got up front and took a turn. After that was all done, we all sang "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus" in our own languages all at the same time. The pastor told us this is what heaven will be like, when every tribe, nation and language will worship God together in unity. Praise God for this little taste of heaven right here in Niger!

Our kids are starting to make friends, and have had some over to play.
