Spreading The Gospel

I traveled to South Africa for a three-week Master of Divinity exchange program. I attended a Zulu Shembe Baptist service. They observe the Sabbath on Saturday and avoid pork, smoking, and premarital sex. Elders shared the Gospel with my driver, as directed by Matthew 29:19-20. Attendees were barefooted, women covered their heads, and we sat separately—men, women, and virgin girls—in their outdoor Sanctuary. Only men spoke during the service. This experience greatly influenced my artistic approach to Spreading The Gospel.
