On Friday our day started visiting Mount Zion Pentecostal Church and spending some inspiring time with Bishop Francis Jackson. On our way to the center of the city we stopped to buy some fresh coconuts on the side of the road. It was amazing to watch the skill which the vendor used to cut them open so we could feed on the coconut and be refreshed drinking pure coconut milk. Coconut will never taste the same again!
I had to smile because the market place was like an Indian Canal Street with merchants bargaining their wares.There was even a little garment district like in New York.
Just as fascinating was to watch Hindus and Muslims shopping together. Since it was Friday, the Moslem Holy day, the street was packed with Moslems going to and fro with several of their stores even closed for 2 hours for prayer. In the middle of all this the sound of chanting as a flowered covered Hindu float was being pulled down the street. What a dedicated spiritual people! My eyes wandered everywhere trying to take a memory video of all this while I was silently praying that God would open their spiritual eyes of understanding to see the only one true God,The Lord Jesus!
