Juanita Nyce, Salford, said, вЂњI have an 11-year-old son and I think that sometimes the church doesnвЂ™t look like the world actually is, and I want him to stay in the church. Herald Bazuki, Nations Worship, said, вЂњIt was very good because we came from a very small Indonesian community, so mostly we speak our own language and now we can hear other languages as well. The team then led the second verse in English. The tune was familiar enough for English-speakers to sing along in English, or they could join in by reading the Indonesian words from two large screens. Nations Worship Center closed out the service by leading the congregation in вЂњHow Great Thou Art.вЂќ The first verse was sung in Indonesian. Worship songs, including English hymns led by Rob Yoder, Salford Mennonite, and Spanish contemporary songs lead by the Centro de Alabanza worship team, were among the worship sets.

вЂњI think we all left the service sensing GodвЂ™s presence, realizing how God speaks in multiple ways through multiple people and recognizing that even if weвЂ™re not hearing our own language we can still lift our hands and be able to worship together knowing weвЂ™re worshipping the same God,вЂќ pastor Jim Laverty, Souderton Mennonite Church, said.
