Scruffy Time
Scruffy lead devotions in the evening. Every evening devotions are held in the boys dorm. The children start out by singing. It's not like singing at home. It is full body, full vocal, full Spirit singing. It is hard to describe but I know some of you have heard the African Children's Choirs so you know what I am talking about. A translator spoke after each phrase (as I taught). The children's native language is Kinyarwanda but it is a very difficult language to learn. The first night I told the story of Noah's Ark. Tonight (Friday) I play acted like I was David and I defeated Goliath. Their was "hooting and hollaring" during my drama. It was an incredible experience as everything is very emotional and Spirit-lead. Everyone had a great time as we talked about how God can use a small boy like David to accomplish something big. Children lead much of the devotion time. Prayers will be joined by songs....all at the same time! It is a little chaotic but yet really cool too!
