Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, A warm greeting from a cold Malealea We want to first and foremost honour the oldest member of our church, Ngunu (grandmother) Me MaSefadi. She was murdered on the 16th of September. We are thankful that she is a child of God, she is with our Father now She was always thankful for God's grace, even though her last year on earth was difficult (she had a femur break that took months to heal, thus forcing her to be bedridden, her daughter who lived with her passed away on the 1st of January) – a true example of following Christ. It is a consolation that God says in His word, Psal 116 verse 15 that “The death of His faithful ones is valuable in the Lord's sight”. Even in her death she inspires us to keep on being faithful in spreading the gospel. We are thankful for every team / church group that have visited us during the past 3 months and took hands with us, glorifying Jesus and spreading the Good News. First City Baptist Church run the Holiday Club during their annual July visit, Thank you guys, thank you for the team from King William's Town, Thank you Father's Heart all the way from the States for your second visit. Thank you Parow Panorama Youth Group for your first visit. Lindsay visited with her husband, Lindani. Thank you for travelling all the way from Richards Bay to spend time with us. Lindsay was part of a World Race team that ministered with us during beginning 2017. May the seeds that you all have sown, in due time produce an abundant harvest. Ma Tello's Dolls Thank you Willemien for all the fabric, Ma Tello is making beautiful Basotho dolls. During our annual July visit to Kimberley for Pieter's mothers birthday, Jaime was blessed by Andre and his brother in law – he had the opportunity to go on his first ever hunt. We sure all enjoyed the springbuck biltong. For the past 3 months Pieter started a new Bible Study/Discipleship group with the newly saved men. This group has grown from 2 to 5 men. Kgomu started his own study group with children in his village and Tsepo with newly converted here at the base. During August Andre and his eldest son, Matthew, visited us, some of these study groups, and Jon introduced Matthew to mountain biking... an expensive introduction , our apologies Andre. This is Jon on his MTB... a photo he took of himself, and then edited. Andre, Anel and Joshua visited us as well and we enjoyed the fellowship, taking long walks and playing board games. Reagan visited during August, building the new Guest units. Both are up to roof height. Thank you for a great job Reagan. Thank you so much to Lily for fundraising for this project, our friends from Kimberley for donating towards this building. Pieter and I were thankful that we could purchase clothing and toiletries for the children that are part of our “Vulnerable Children Support Programme”. Thank to each of you that suppport these children faithfully every month. At the beginning of September I was blessed by being able to spend my mother's 73rd birthday with her, Thank you Pieter. Pieters niece, Natasha visited us for the first time – hope to see you again here in our mountains. We celebrated Pieter's 50th birthday on the 19th of September, a bitter sweet day so shortly after MeMasefadi's death. The church gifted him with a beautiful Basotho blanket – Morena (king) design. Lastly we had our second annual Women's Conference during the last weekend of September. Thank you Gabi, Charmaine, Winnie and Marina for blessing the ladies with the messages about extraordinary women from the bible. You truly inspired every one of us to rise to the occasion and be extraordinary for God. Greetings from our family in Lesotho Please pray with us:
