Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
These videos capture the New Year’s Eve Watch Night service at the Chilenje Church of Christ in Lusaka, Zambia. This church has also hosted the African Leadership Summit, which Dr. Taylor conducted in 2019, 2023, and 2025, with plans to return again in 2026.
The worship features the song “My God Is Good (Double Double)” by Uche Agu, highlighting the unity of African worship across cultures and languages. Though written by a Nigerian artist in Nigerian Pidgin, the song incorporates expressions from multiple African regions, including Lingala and Tshiluba from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Swahili from East Africa, and the use of “Jesu”, commonly associated with Akan-speaking Christians in Ghana. It also includes both English and French.
This joyous moment is a testament to the unity of African people worldwide and reflects the shared faith and spiritual connection that transcends national and linguistic boundaries.
