MBAISE | Bro Adolphe Effiong
Thank CAT for the wonderful love and
spending of time and money in sharing the
Word of God to many people / Nations. May
the Lord strengthen and guide your work. We
are increasing in the number of newcomers.
They embrace the teaching and I am preparing
them for baptism soon. We therefore need
seven copies of the Holy Bible and some
important literature and Bible Basics for more
understanding of the teachings.
OHAFIA | Bro Gaius U Egwu
My gratitude I cannot explain. In fact I am
happy with a mind full of joy. Thank you, you
have given me all I needed to build up people
for His Kingdom in this part of the earth. We
have received the Holy Bibles and two copies
of the Igbo Bible Basics but the other litera-
ture has not yet come.
The Book of James and other studies you sent
were very good and uplifting and highly
needed in our Christadelphian homes /
libraries. Reading these books will help to put
many back to focus point.
I thank God so much who, by His mercy, made
me to be part of His great family Christadel-
phians, may we continue to encourage and
motivate each other for the great prize, for
Christ has paved the way for us to follow.

How are you? As for me I am well. Seasons
Greetings wishing you all the joy and cheer at
this magical special time of year. Thinking of
you many times, I hope you and your family
are keeping well. It is good to be writing to
you. I keep faithful and keep the Word of God
in the forefront of my mind in my daily life. I
am not working and go to the meeting every
Sunday, reading my Bible every day and hoping
God will be good to me. There are so many
terrible things happening in the world and I
know that the time of Christ’s return is very
close. We really need Jesus to come back and
may the Word of God fill our lives with many
blessings.

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 Memo-
rial 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 Fellow-
ship. Present to witness this happy event
were Bro Simon, Sis Angelique Olwage, Bro
John and Sis Carol Shrosbree and Sis Eliza-
beth Pletschke.
SOWETO |
“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 Meadow-
lands 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 Judg-
ment, 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 relation-
ship with the visitors.
