“You take that,” Pastor Mike said as the local pastor handed
over welcome gifts from the church. Apparently handling live chickens isn’t his
thing. I don’t blame him, remember Maude?
I didn’t make an icky face this time though…even when one chicken started
pecking at my nail polish.
The warm greeting from the Berean Church of Kitindi and the
various pastors preparing to attend the conference was precious. The ladies
sang welcome songs – such beautiful harmonious voices – and Pastor prayed for
our safe arrival and rest. I have come to cherish these African traditions –
formal welcome ceremonies, gift giving, and singing. So rich with culture, so
absent in America.
