This Week in the Fellowship…

He keeps on doing great things! This has been the theme of the week here at Naledi Baptist Fellowship. This Sunday, we celebrated the Lord’s Supper along with visitors from the Francistown Baptist Church. We welcomed back an old friend from Harvest Fellowship, Barbara Hartnett! Our Deacon Champ returned after several weeks away. We are happy to have him back and praise God for answered prayer as he assisted his father in his home village. We now continue in prayer with Champ as he is concerned for the health of his sister.

We are very excited to have had our first well attended Jr. Youth program. Becky and Rapula led the group with games and stories illustrating Gal. 5:22 about the Fruit of the Spirit. We were surprised by the enthusiasm of the children.

The women met to sing, pray and study God’s word on Thursday evening. The question “What is a Christian?” was asked. They looked at important verses such as Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus”, and Acts 16:31 “Beleive in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.” Mma Rebekah lead the study.

Sr.Youth began their study on the Last words of Jesus with a drama by Thumo and Linkie and Becky’s teaching on John 12. The Youth begin their fundraising project; a theatre night, to be held at Open Baptist on Oct. 4. This will be a big undertaking. Please pray for the work that will go into it.

Girl’s Bible Study, which meets on Friday night, has been very well received. Much fruit has come out of this time and the girls are excited about their growth
