As we've discussed our upcoming missions event these last few weeks, many have asked: “Shagali, what does
that even mean?” Shagali is a Hausa word meaning celebration. This sign of praise, jubilant festivities, and a
joyful spirit defines our longtime relationship with Anawim Home and Faith
Alive Hospital. Each summer, Nativity’s missionaries have experienced the joyful and prayerful celebrations of these communities, as they give glory to God and
worship His greatness. We have used this phrase, which is known to so many
within our partner country of Nigeria, to guide the spirit of this week’s fast
and maintain a prayerful connection to our strategic partners in Nigeria. Shagali!
On Wednesday, we will join together as a community to
celebrate in worship and prayer as we break the fast together. Join us at
Nativity to indulge in your first non-water drink, enjoy some food and live
music from Al Walsh and Three Flights Up, meet Dr. Chris Isichei - the founder
of Faith Alive Hospital, and fellowship with past missionaries.
