The villagers demonstrate the party game, "Follow my leader"   Shake, rattle and roll wasn't invented by Elvis

Don't Just Stand There - Dance!

Pentecostal worship is not a low-key affair. Drums are banged, home-made rattles are shaken, repetitive words are sung, and the people dance - and how they dance!

And So They Came to Elim

There's no way any visitor can fail to find their way to the Elim church at Samoa

You're out! Simon said put your hands together not apart

Moatize Elim Church
