GRASKOP (Isolation) |

It was a joyful occasion when we witnessed the baptism here in Graskop on Sunday 1st November of Bro Francois Le Grange, a tall 21 year old, who was introduced to the Truth by Bro Simon Shrosbree. After the baptism in the pool of The Log Cabin,(a local holiday resort in Graskop), the Memorial Service was held on the veranda of Bro Greg and Sis Nan’s Lodge, when Bro Dave Hopkins gave the exhortation and our new brother received the Right Hand of Fellowship. Present to witness this happy event were Bro Simon, Sis Angelique Olwage, Bro John and Sis Carol Shrosbree and Sis Elizabeth Pletschke.

“To God be the Glory.” We are happy to welcome another brother into our family of Soweto Ecclesia and worldwide. Bro Joseph Mooi was baptised on the 10/11/2015.

He saw an advertisement in the Meadowlands News and he came to the seminars. He has been attending for the past year he even came to our Sunday meetings, it felt as if he is one of us. We are rejoicing that he took this life changing decision. We pray that God be with him as he walks in the newness of life.

We had an exciting 4 week seminar which came to an end last week and we would like to thank all the brethren who were presenting especially Bro Bongani Carter who came all the way from Kroonstad. The seminars were thought provoking, insightful and a bit scary. The focus was on Judgment, Resurrection, the Middle East, the role of the Arabs and ISIS. Although the seminars are principally an outreach preaching effort for the community, there is always excellent support from the brothers and sisters who also benefit from the studies and who are able to help in preaching by building up a good relationship with the visitors.
