Today we traveled to Umphumulo Southeastern Diocese and had a conversation with local members of the Womens Prayer League, including the bishops wife. We also took a walking tour of the surrounding community of Umphumulo - the seminary campus, the hospital and the nearby Lutheran church.
The video below is from our brief time spent at Umphumulo Lutheran Cathedral, where we were fortunate enough to listen to the last few minutes of the youth choir practice. The youth choir was AMAZING! They had such beautiful voices, and all of the WBGC women who walked over to listen to them sing were so grateful to hear them practice 3 of the songs they've been rehearsing for an upcoming celebration. The recording below was taken in the back of the church standing across from the singers where they were practicing, but doesn't truly do the choir justice. The electricity was out that afternoon so it's a little hard to see the choir director and members, but the beautiful voices are definitely still audible. The youth in the choir are mostly high school age with a few who are older (young adults), and at the time we were there, practices were taking place 3 days a week leading up to their performance. We were told that many of the youth travel an hour or more to make it to practice!
