Worship, Uganda Style

The kids and I were so blessed today when a children's choir performed at their school.

Not just any children's choir. A UGANDAN children's choir.

(If you aren't aware of my crazy love for Ugandan kids, read this.)

They sang, they danced, they stole my heart.











See this little boy in the center?


I want to keep him.

And have I ever told you that I'm going to be a drummer in Heaven? I am. And I'm going to play drums with these kids.


The moment that made me get all weepy, though, was this one when the choir was singing Chris Tomlin's "How Great is Our God." The photo is blurry because I was crying and couldn't focus the lens properly, but this is TRUE worship.


Many of these kids are orphans. Some lived in such poverty that their moms had to send them away. But all of these kids know that God is their Father. They have hope in Christ. And the joy, the pure joy, is so evident on their faces.
