A bit about the NBF...

At our meeting on the 15th of July, we looked at the History of Naledi Baptist Fellowship, the current situation, their mission, vision and opportunities in the future. I wanted to just highlight 2 of these points:

Vision - "It is the present the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ first in Old Naledi, Goborone then to other parts of Botswana. We believe that a nation without faith in God is a perishing nation." Theirs (and ours) is an outward focus, with the Gospel being the unifying hope and directive.

Opportunities - These were shared as a time of brainstorming, with a desire to ask, "what can we do together in the future to further the Kingdom of God?" Evangelism, Prayer (we decided to share monthly prayer requests with each other), Training (pastoral, vocational, teaching of the women and couples were the areas that were in most need), Exchange Program (to continue to visit each other, to connect the names with the pictures, to have this be a "both ways" exchange), Missionary Work (both short and long term, non-agenda partners are the ones that bless the NBF the most, who come with the desire to pursue friendships not just "special" projects that include a photo shoot afterward).

It will be a joy to continue to ask "what can we do together" and to see how God responds.
