Good ole translator Canadian man, Jeremy: Jeremy was born in Canada, grew up in East Africa, went to school in Kenya, then made his way back to Canada. He enlightened the crowd with all sorts of information.
I recently saw a live Masaai Choir (En-Kata choir – Hope of the Maasai). They live in Tanzania in the bushes – no water, electricity, or anything that goes along with those 2 controllers. They practice every day into the night, under the stars. En-Kata started the first Maasai people group school. This group of 6 people singing songs in a language I don’t know was just.so.rad.
In between songs, Jeremy introduced them. Almost all of them said “I am (their name). I am saved.” They shared so freely. One man said “Before the Word of God, Maasai people beat women, now I don’t beat my wife even a little bit”. The Gospel has had a radical effect on the rights of women, changed the societal norm completely.

A woman said, "We have no water, but I have a living water inside of me." Mmmmmm, she started shaking her shoulders showing us the power of that living water inside of her.
Another woman told us a story. “I went to get water at 2am, sometimes we don’t get it for 3 days. I finally found some, put it in my bucket, then got on my donkey to get back home. A hyena came out and ate my donkey and the water spilled everywhere. The hyena could’ve ate me too. I defeated, living water!” LIVING WATER.
These were just their introductions. The song lyrics are to the point. Straight forward. Raw. Strong.
Those things were not important:
If we are agreeing to follow Jesus, there is no limit to what He can do.
Amen.
