NEWS FROM SOUTH AFRICA

Sis Leonie and Bro Paul Verster

We have just returned from Gaborone and were blessed to witness the birth into God’s family of Lucille Sambo, a very bright 19 yearold Zimbabean. She completed her Cambridge A levels with 3 distinctions in History, English literature, English general paper and a B in Divinity. She had been in Botswana visiting her mother and Sis Refilwe, her mother’s neighbour, diligently taught Lucille the truth, spending time with her almost every day. Lucille was very quick at grasping the true gospel and completed both Introducing Bible Basics and Bible Basics.

It was a joy to listen to her confession of faith and see her baptised. She has been chosen to be an exchange student in Germany and God willing will be going next year some time. We pray she will be close to an ecclesia.

Lucille and Refilwe are going to the Summer School God Willing. I put Lucille in touch with Sis Precious from Soweto ecclesia via What’s App and they seem to be forming a little bond.

We also were able to meet up with a Brother from Zimbabwe who has moved to a village close to Gaborone. He attended the Breaking of Bread and baptised Lucille. Such are the wonderful ways of providence.
