I started out following Amy around seeing what she did before she left for Australia. Then when she left it felt as if I was thrown in the deep end, and did everything by myself. It was difficult in the beginning but everyone was really supportive of me and helped me a lot. The saying “this is Africa” is often used after a bad day, because sometimes we can’t control everything that goes wrong - we are in Africa where it often takes time to get things done, but we get it done, never-the-less.
The KMPBEC continues to be a daily preaching outlet and we get new students enrolling for the Bible Courses every day. Up to now we have enrolled 2465 students on the Bible courses. Many of these do not complete the course. We know however that it is necessary to sow plenty in order for some of the seeds to fall on good soil. The Bible classes during lunch time still provide an opportunity for students to have their questions answered and to learn more about specific topics. The attendance for these classes has been fairly erratic during this April month which is full of public holidays and long weekends.
This month I am leading a new class, held each Friday evening, for black brethren and sisters who cannot attend the weekly Durban Bible Class because of transport problems. Currently, 4 brethren and 3 sisters attend. The aim is to help them become good teachers of the Word. I see this as crucial for our longer-term plan to preach in languages other than English, notably Zulu and French in this area.
