There is a reason why I avoid African church “harambees”. This is the only day you can spend money carelessly in the name of building the church. The worst part is when the staff and items donated by those who do not have money in form hard cash are being auctioned to convert them into liquid money begins, and usually this program is run by the most funniest and convincing guys in the church. These people can make you buy very unnecessary items, very easily, with some divine convincing power never seen on earth, that make you just feel like you just gave your money to God directly without going through the corners.
I am confidently saying this with my chest because I am just from our annual church fundraising going home and with me are two chickens black and red in color that are still alive, that I bought after being told that God doesn’t need food but rather a place to stay. I know this is going to be a very long walk home, but at least I know I participated in building the house of the Lord.
