Excitement in Soweto

There has been quite a bit of excitement in Soweto with one of our brothers managing to persuade his brother in law (a Pentecostal preacher) to give us time on local radio in Soweto. A snippet from the Lightstand:

Bre Daniel Makhado & Obed Mafifi have braved the airwaves on Radio Jozy on Thurs evening for 1 hour during the month of June. It has been a wonderful God-given opportunity to witness to the true gospel.

On the last broadcast the topic was the Devil and Satan and the radio host (a Pentecostal) made a point of cutting off Bro Daniel whenever he tried to develop his theme. However, many listeners were very positive and requested that the Christadelphians, who they said are explaining things from the Bible, should be given more air time. Much to our delight Daniel has been asked to return for the month of July and this time he will be afforded the opportunity of completing his topic. We are proud of Daniel and Obed for having the courage to preach through this different and rather intimidating medium.

We start a 4 - week series of seminars on Saturday in Soweto - hopefully some people will have come from the radio.
