As some brothers and sisters were driving through the township to get to the new centre, the road was blocked by a big happy procession. Girls and women dressed up in traditional Zulu beads and hats singing and dancing in the streets. On a closer look they noticed the Good News of the Kingdom of God T-shirts. It was the sisters of Mariannhill celebrating the launch and baptisms by dancing through the streets to their new hall.
The Sunday school did a great presentation. After the exhortation we broke bread to
gether in the new hall. Zulu songs and dancing dominated the worship. Over a hundred and thirty people were there, about fifty attending from the community. They all enjoyed a beautiful lunch afterwards prepared by the sisters of Mariannhill.
Jesus is calling people from every tribe and tongue. Each tribe and tongue comes to him celebrating in their own culture and their own way. On the rolling hills of Kwa Zulu Natal, the Good News of the kingdom of God is proclaimed in a miraculous, powerful and Zulu way.

This is absolutely amazing.
My prayers are with all of the new brothers and sisters at Mariannhill and also to the rest of the ecclesia.
It must have been an awesome sight.
