A friendy of mine who happens to be a wife Reverent invited me to the of thier church (ibandla) in Gugulethu NY 121 last sunday. I decided to invite my girlfriend to accompanied me to the service as i did not know anyone accept the umfundisi's wife.
The word of GOD (ilizwi) (We nothing without the grace of God..We should be gratefull because he died for our sins he left us with his holy spirit) I mean are working, we have shelters to sleep, we are driving flash cars, wearing name brands, we don't go to bad with hungry stomach unlike other people.
Its a small church with unfinished windows, floor and not covered up on the wall and roof. I would not blame you, if it was used by gangsters. When entered the church, i said to myself wow! I going to catch a flue. If there will be any substance and content of the service. However to my surprise the preaching of Rev, singing the spirit and the word of GOD was out of this world.
I was impress with young people who packed the church to its capacity and fully participating in singing, prayer service and collection (umnikelo). The reason i write about this experince, i was simple touch with the quality of the service and the spirit among the members of the church members.
It was a learning experience for me, I mean we turn to undermine the so called small churches with no fancy building and respect the well funded or build churches. And yet their dissappoint when it comes to the core of the church in the life of people and community at large.
