having motor cars, making travel a
luxury taken for granted, when we
have brethren and sisters who
struggle to come together.
Bro Stewart Walker (UK) has been
out and exhorted us to remember
three important P's. Prayer.
Priorities. Purpose. As we move
forward on our journey, we need
to take time to realign ourselves
with what is important. How we
get there and why are we doing
this? Through all, we must pray, as
the scriptures remind us “Pray
without ceasing” 1 Thessalonians
5:17.
The Women at the Well ‘W@W 2014’ was a
huge success, the Winterton weather was
anything but wintery. Sis Hannah Fadel
travelled across the globe from USA to this
tiny village in the KZN Bundu. For those who
have not been to this charming little town,
we had the pleasure of driving through the
only robot intersection, and over both its
speed humps! The food was delicious
(Christadelphians always enjoy the food!) the
lodgings charming, and the fellowship
enriching. Sis Hannah guided us through
learning to Fear Man or Fear God, in a down
to earth and easy to absorb manner. We
cannot wait for her to return to Africa again.

A little Sunday school is on the grow at
the Congolese meeting (Pretoria West).
New challenges arise as everyone is
accommodated in a very small kitchen!
And, it seems the kids enjoy it so much
that they want to bring their friends!
Maybe it will be Sunday Schooling in the
passage way outside!?!
| SOWETO
We in Soweto have a “Mother of note”. We
celebrated another decade fulfilled for our
beloved Sis Leonie Verster. She, who touches
all our hearts and lives in some special and
unforgettable way, celebrated with candles
on her cake and a home filled with a flurry of
the flowers that she loves.
The joyful news continues, in that our Bro
Austin Mataka is back from Zimbabwe, much
to our surprise and delight, who we are
pleased to report is looking and feeling very
much better and where he belongs in our
midst.
Bro Daniel Makhado has been away in
Limpopo to keep the work alive in that area.
He goes for his driver’s licence in the next
fortnight, after which we will all benefit from
the vehicle he has bought. All our movements
in this part of the world are governed by the
lack of independent transport, and so this is
a great asset to the busy ecclesias we have
here in the “City with a heart of gold”.
We were very happy to welcome visitors from
near and very far. At one of our Tuesday Bible
classes 10 brethren and sisters from Australia
and Canada, on one of the Christadelphian
tours, were able to join us for a short tour to
some of the sights in Soweto after which Bro
Rod Ghent (Toronto, Canada) led us in a very
interesting and exhortational Bible Class on
Baalim. We were very sorry to hear that Bro
Rod had to be hospitalized in Durban with a
blocked carotid artery. Our prayers for him
and Sis Linda. ~ continued ...
