Hartnett Update - 4

Well, we are now in our final week here in Botswana and God continues to work in us and through us and through the church in Old Naledi. I have been wrapping up various projects (got the floodlight installed for the church yard without causing any major electrical fires, finished fixing cabinets in the Tlamelo Project kitchen), and the ladies have been busy with various women's ministries. Today they are running workshops for womens ministry and for sunday school teaching and then we are all going to the game reserve for a picnic lunch. We continue to enjoy spending lots of time with the people in Old Naledi, being mutually encouraged as we share our faith and lives.

Moruti had mentioned that a large number of the people (youth and adults) attending the church can not afford a Bible and that they would also like to be able to provide Bibles for those they visit as they do their weekly visitations and evangelism in the village. So, God led us to a source of a large supply of Setswana Bibles and I purchased 4 boxes (240 Bibles) for the church. Moruti and the church were delighted to receive them. They gave away 4 of them just yesterday to 4 neighbors from the village who accepted Christ after this week's visitation.

Please pray for our final few days here as we have to say goodbye to all our brothers and sisters here in Old Naledi and prepare for our journey home. Also pray for safe travels. We will be stopping overnight at a bush camp for a brief safari on our way to Johannesburg South Africa and our flights home.

Kagiso,
Dave H.
