Worship Matters: The Compelling Story of Worship through Music in Kenya

Jean Ngoya Kidula, University of Georgia-Athens

Session Description

The global church south of the Sahara is growing exponentially. In Kenya (East Africa), worship through music is playing an unprecedented role in drawing all nations to come and worship before the living God. In this workshop, we explore the continuing story of how music is reaching out to non-believers, celebrating diversity, building community, engaging in social issues, and inviting the nations to participate in the work of God. Come engage with songs that are speaking into the life of this burgeoning church as it pursues God in worship through music. A discussion of key considerations for reaching out globally in our own local contexts will round off the story of how worship music matters.
