A missionary in Africa was preaching his first sermon in a mission church. When time came for the offering, the people danced their offerings forward. They danced and sang praise to God as they brought their offerings to the altar. For they were “coming before God's presence with singing”.

After the service, the missionary asked the people, "Why do you dance and sing when you bring your offering forward on Sunday morning?" They answered, "How could we not dance? We are so grateful to God for what He has done for us in sending Jesus Christ to save us. Therefore, we have to dance and sing our thanksgiving. And besides, it says in the Bible, God loves a cheerful giver."
