“We are a family of seven living in a closed diamond mining town of about 14,000 in central Botswana. The town is wealthy when compared with other African villages. There are no beggars in the streets and medical care is excellent, just about everyone has good housing and many people drive their own cars. The diamond mining company takes good care of its employees.
Contrasted with the material wealth of the town, the spiritual poverty of the people living here is appalling; not many Bible-believing Christians live here. A few churches are here, but most, if not all, of these teach little in the way of sound doctrine. False doctrine is widespread and has greatly weakened the churches. There is no place where people can go to have the truth of God’s Word explained and taught to them.
As there has been no church we could attend where the Bible is taught, we have been especially encouraged by your programs. We gather in the living room on most Sundays to hear a sermon, read the Bible and pray together. Our satellite is used exclusively for listening to TWR. We plan to begin regularly meeting with another Christian family in town for Bible studies and church services. Please pray that God will guide us and that we may be an effective witness for Him. We are grateful for this link God has given us to other believers in this world. It’s great to have you in our home every day.”
