My Journey through Nigeria: Nigerian Worship

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." --Nelson Mandela--

Nigerian Worship

Support Group Praise

Worship in Africa is like no other experience. It's one of the things that I miss most about my time in Nigeria. People lift their voices, clap their hands and stomp their feet. They engage their whole bodies when they worship, making themselves instruments of music. Standing and being surrounded by such worship sweeps you away and you lose yourself in the heartfelt praise. Here is a music clip from the support group at Faith Alive. The support group meets every Sunday afternoon for the HIV patients that are supported by the clinic. Everyone is welcome. People come from all over to praise God and commune together. This music makes my heart yearn for Africa once again. I hope you enjoy the music...
