“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.” ~Proverbs 3:3

This is our prayer for the young people of Old Naledi. God has given us the privilege of being bystanders, small errand helpers in His magnificent work of grace around the world. We have seen Him instill love and faithfulness in the heart of a child who proclaimed, “That’s God!” this week at a break in the thunderstorm clouds, and in the hearts of the junior youth who prepare faithfully to learn God’s word and share it with their neighbors at family day on the 17^th. We have also seen His love demonstrated in the youth, who studied the word by the headlights of a corolla last night, praising our God of second chances, who would remain faithful even to someone as unfaithful and cowardly as Peter who denied Him three times. Please pray with us that the young people who are getting to know this God would take these attributes of love and faithfulness and grow to follow Him with their whole hearts.

*Please pray for Moruti who lost a goat in Mogoditshane and has been searching yesterday.

*Pray for Champ’s sister. Her condition is worsening.

*Please pray for Phemelo, who is healing from a stab wound on her right thigh. She is also taking exams right now and this is a difficult time.

* Mma Rebekah asks for our prayers as her sister passed away recently.

*Rizo has also experienced the death of a family member and is in our prayers.

*Praise God for Kerotse and Agnes who finished their term as Sunday school teachers. Bushe and Dikabelo will begin this Sunday

*Praise God for Mma Rebeka and Nnaka who worded hard yesterday cleaning the PC after rotten meat left a bad smell.

This Week in the Fellowship…

The men’s fellowship began meeting on Sunday in a newly erected church tent on the Southwest side of the plot. Please pray that this new ministry will gain momentum and faithful members. The members are also praying about the possibility of starting a prison ministry. Many people have been asking about the future plans for building on the plot. Right now, we are hoping and praying that God’s provision of funding will allow construction to begin in December. Currently, mine work in northern Botswana is preventing the trucks from moving Moruti’s office building. The other PC will need to be moved by South African trucks. If these become available, they might be moved as early as the end of November.

The youth are finishing their study of Jesus’ last words. This week was a study of Jesus’ trial before Pilate and the Chief Priest in John 18. They will be concluding in 2 weeks.

Congratulations to Rebecca, Vivian, Kefilwe, and Kerapetse! They are the first Junior Youth to join the “Memory Verse Club”, with 6 verses about the fruits of the spirit. We would like to extend an invitation to any of our partners who are here in Gaborone to attend the Junior Youth Family Fun Day on November 17^th!
