Monday, April 4 - Day 24
The second hour (actually close to 90 minutes; the longest a volunteer has sat through in recent memory was 2 1/2 hours) was the sermon. This week, the standard sermon was replaced by a series of testimonials by (non-WORCSA) members of the congregation, mostly older students at Word of Faith. (Many of the high school students, including two older WORCSA girls we never see except at church, board at the school.)
The testimonial portion was interesting. Most of the speakers referenced Bible passages and spoke of a renewed awareness of the need to love God and Jesus. One speaker told us he had realized, “Egypt was like America - the most beautiful country, the strongest, the most powerful, everything.” It was an enlightening perspective on my home nation, an entirely accurate representation of the Ghanaian perception of America as I’ve observed it thus far.
