What a great day of rejoicing. There was really a party in the house of the Lord Saturday when 35 couples from the Mt. Elgon Bible Training Center were united together in marriage. These couples have been living together, some for many years, and have been unable to get married due to Tribal traditions, expensive and unreasonable dowry requirements, and lack of funds to purchase a legal license and certificate.
But on Saturday a group wedding made it possible for 35 couples to break tradition and have a blessed ceremony with music (traditional & keyboard), rings, certificates, dinner and wedding cake for all. Over 1000 people turned out and even 2 local tribal chiefs joined the ceremony and we all worshiped the Lord together. 12 people came for salvation and re-dedication. It was truly a day to remember.
How blessed and wonderful! I love it! Hugs from Tonj!
