Massai choir will be at Harvest Time Tabernacle on Thursday

This fall, the En-kata choir from Tanzania, East Africa, is sharing songs and stories about the awesome power of God at work in their community.
The ‘Why Such Fear?’ Tour 2014 will be in Abbeville at Harvest Time Tabernacle on Sept. 25.
It will start at 7 p.m. It is free.
Choir member Naitapuaki Lengina explains the title of the tour: “In our lives, we have challenges, but since our God is with us, Why Such Fear?” Her own story is an example of the hope and good news coming from a continent that in the West is more often known for having to battle challenges of poverty and disease. “I was a Maasai girl who was married off young, the fourth wife of an old man,” Naitapuaki recalls. Left widowed and alone to care for her children, she saw the miraculous change. “My children needed an education and God helped us build a school.”
This is the fourth tour of the En-kata choir through North America; their nine week journey will take the Maasai from Washington State to Virginia with stops in several US States and Canadian Provinces in between. The choir tours are the main fundraiser for the construction of a Maasai-led elementary school in Obili, Tanzania. Money collected on previous tours has enabled the Maasai to build classrooms and bathrooms as well as teacher housing.
