excitement on a new outreach venture. Bre Daniel Makhado and Templeton Mdludlu organized for six brothers and sisters and four from Yeoville to trek to the Eastern Cape for a study weekend at the Candu ecclesia. From all accounts it was a wonderful weekend of study and fellowship as Bro Gary's report attests. The party greatly appreciated the warm hospitality extended to them; Candu ecclesia pulled out all the stops, even slaughtering the "fatted calf" in the form of a sheep! We pray the new relationships formed will live on into eternity.

Bro Paul & Sis Leonie Verster with Bro Emmanuel Mphambo went to Bloemfontein as planned to baptize Bre Phakiso Mophete and Simon Mofele on Sunday 8 June. That day dawned a chilly winter's day & to prove it we had a dusting of snow! However, undaunted Phakiso & Simon braved the water of the pool at the guest house to put on the saving Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Bro Emmanuel stoically standing in the pool through the proceedings! They were warmly welcomed into fellowship by the Bloemfontein ecclesia that were there to witness the great step they had taken. Both are from Kroonstad and are keen to preach there so we pray they keep strong and active on the road to the kingdom. A seminar is planned, God willing for mid-July.

27

A seminar was held on the Saturday afternoon presented by Bro Emmanuel – this time on Demons: so much discussion ensued,

We have welcomed Bro Stewart Gomeza with Sis Simanga & the children. Stewart exhorted us and the children joined our Sunday school for a lively lesson on the role of fathers in the family, as the world focused on fathers'day. Louis Botha is now a regular visitor, transported by the Versters.

Cando

Members from Johannesburg and Soweto met for the Seminar after long journeys to Cando where "they joined the already large and excited contingent that had gathered for the day's proceedings. --- Bro. Daniel Makhado presided & Bro. Harrison got the ball rolling as the first speaker of the day. He spoke on the difference between Soul & Spirit. There was a short break, immediately followed by Bro. Gary who spoke on "Rewards in Heaven or on Earth". After lunch Bro Daniel covered devils & demons which then wrapped up a resoundingly successful seminar day. Of course all this was followed by a question and answer session, before we called it a day. Needless to say, some very interesting questions where posed, and the team led by the experienced Bro. Daniel answered all, convincingly.
