    Jonathan, thanks for your kind words.
    The music is production music - no artist that you can buy off the street.

    Thanks for your comments Midnight Cry. One of the unexpected discoveries of my time in Africa was the role that prosperity teaching plays in helping people develop better work patterns. Wiser people have equated it to a new type of protestant work ethic. While some prosperity gospel teachers say that your financial blessings will come with sacrificial giving (like the first guy in the video) others encourage people to work hard and apply themselves (the second pastor.) In my life, my family played that role (and my mom played it well when she never let me quit the soccer team I wanted to abandon.) In Africa, that system is compromised because of a variety of factors like poverty and AIDS. So this teaching is filling that vacuum. It's an interesting element to what is becoming in my mind a very complex problem
