Hour Of Faith è un luogo di ritrovo e di preghiera di una comunità Ghanese in provincia di Brescia. Sono stato ospitato grazie a Francis Azare Kwabena, vice pastore della comunità. Francis lavora in una fabbrica della bassa bergamasca come operaio nel settore logistica. Insieme a Francis sono stato accolto con gentilezza da Charles Sarfo Boadi, pastore della chiesa.
La messa è iniziata subito con canti a tema religioso che un predicatore e una delle figlie di Francis guidavano con energia e vigore.
La sala si è fatta subito affollata e insieme a uomini e donne di tutte le età si è riempita di bambini che hanno reso ancora pi allegra e gioiosa l’atmosfera.
In tutto erano presenti una cinquantina di persone, circa 13 nuclei famigliari.
La cerimonia è durata circa tre ore, con letture della Bibbia alternate a prediche e canti, accompagnati da una vera e propria band composta da tastiere, basso, batteria e percussioni. I fedeli si alternavano sul palco per intonare i canti. Le letture e la predicazione un po’ in inglese, lingua ufficiale del Ghana, e un po’ nel dialetto Ghanese, assai difficile da capire (impossibile).

Hour Of Faith is a gathering place for prayer of the Ghanaian community from the province of Brescia. I was hosted thanks to Francis Kwabena Azare, vice minister of the community. Francis works in a factory as a laborer in logistics sector. Along with Francis I was greeted kindly by Charles Sarfo Boadi, pastor of the church.
The Mass began immediately with songs with a religious theme that a preacher and a daughter of Francis drove with energy and vigor.
The room became crowded and suffered along with men and women of all ages was filled with children who have made even more cheerful and joyful atmosphere.
In all there were about fifty people, about 13 families.
The ceremony lasted about three hours, with Bible readings alternating sermons and songs, accompanied by a real band of keyboards, bass, drums and percussion. The faithful took turns on stage to sing the songs. Readings and preaching a little ‘in English, the official language of Ghana, and a bit’ in the dialect of Ghana, very difficult to understand (impossible).
