Young life lost to TB
We just lost one young man. He is with the Lord, we are so sad he left so early. We were looking forward to seing his potential released. He was 17. His death gave us an opportunity to unearth some deep rooted sin in the church. Pray with us so God will give us wisdom to deal with it without hurting our members.

Its all about the King!!
This winter feels much colder and wetter than we expected. The need for firewood and warm clothing is high and the supply is limited. This was evident on the 11th evening when at least 200 people gathered at the pre-school to watch the Jesus film by T-junction church outreach team from South Africa. It was two long and cold hours, yet children and the old sat on the ground with their eyes glued to the big screen. While attendance can be attributed to lack of entertainment in the village, we cannot rule out the hunger for the word of God in the village, especially considering the weather conditions and the number of those who came for prayer after the film. We lost count of the souls won that night! Even our Sunday meeting attendance was increased and we expect to see more people coming into a close relationship with the Lord.
The most important thing here is that this was organised by Doppies and Chwaa, the couple we are raising to lead the church there.
Thanks to the government (Botswana) for mobile phone network and the Stitching Drama (Netherlands) for the cell phone donation which make us communicate with Doppies with ease. His commitment to the work of the Lord is unquestionable. Although he cannot read, he is always carrying his bible!
The village leadership has given the church a go-ahead to spearhead the resumption of gardening which lacks equipment and tools to take off the ground. The support and openness that we enjoy now can only be divine orchestrated! Praise is to God the one who knows the times and has a purpose for every nation.
