NEWS FROM BOTSWANA

We have just  returned from an excellent weekend in Gaborone despite having to improvise with our conference venue at the last moment we were told they had double booked and so we had to squash into a biggish lounge at the guest house where we were staying and not have the use of the ‘official conference room’ but it was a really great weekend!

Our brothers Gary and young Lucky did us proud speaking about Demons and Suffering we had a good response of 22 in attendance and the more informal atmosphere of the lounge worked well. The good news is that another student approached us and said he wants to be baptised next time - this is so encouraging as Botswana seems to be so slow in getting people to commit. There is such a good spirit amongst the brothers there and our brothers - it is such a joy to be part of it all. Bro Lucky this morning gave the exhortation and he is really worth his weight in gold in that he was able to change from the exhortation on kindness that he had prepared to one on preaching  which was in tune with the readings. It was fitting and excellent. It was also great to see our new brother Galelatsang making a point of chatting to each of the new students on the Saturday and explaining that he was always available for discussion. We feel greatly encouraged and thank God.
