Slightly Different
from Church Back Home
After
a ten-minute walk from our house, through the sandy roads of Moshiba, we
arrived at the Malanatha church. It always intrigues me to see the differences
between cultures, lifestyles, and even churches as we travel from country to country. Below are a list of differences between my current church and my church back at home.
Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania Agoura Hills, USA 
Length of Service 4 hours 1 hour
Congregation Size 20 ppl 5,000 ppl
Type of Worship Extreme Evangelical Conservative
Prayer Focus Freedom of Witchcraft/Demons Strength in Spiritual Journey
Types of Ministries Door-to-door Habitat for Humanity
We are all so
different yet all play such a vital role in the kingdom. In order to reach the
people in Tanzania, a certain type of ministry, worship, and prayer needs to be
practiced; and in order to reach the people in Agoura Hills, a different type
of ministry, worship, and prayer needs to be practiced. Thank God for our
differences and our strengths.
