Writing Songs to Meet Cultural Needs

 

 

During one session we asked the participants to thinking about needs in their culture. In other words, what are the problems that people in the language area persistently struggle with. As a culmination to the session, they wrote songs that addressed the problems according to God’s word.  Some of the cultural problems included:

     Gossiping

     Drinking

     Gambling

     Witch Doctors

     Talking to the spirits

     Fortune telling

     Horoscopes
