Sunday, April 21, 2024 was a great day. We rejoiced at the baptisms of Villane and Mrs. Dlamani. God is giving the increase. Praise God!
First Harvest
In February of 2024 the maize crop from the first planting of the agriculture project was harvested. Due to hot, dry weather it was not up to what was hoped. We praise God for what has been given. The crop must dry completely and then be ground into mealie meal, the staple food.
We enjoyed a fellowship meal on July 30, 2023.
Following the meal donated clothing was given away.
our new baptistry was used for the first time March 4th.
We rejoice with Bonakele!
Buried with Christ.
Risen to live a new life!

The projector was operated off a battery
similar to an automotive battery with
an inverter. The building still does not have
electricity.
We used our new media projector for the first time. It was a big help for the song service.
The Sunday School group is growing by leaps and bounds. The children are so happy to be back!
On March 6th we rejoiced to welcome two new brothers and one new sister into the Timbutini congregation. Since we do not have our own baptistry, a van was rented to transport the group to the Fairview building in Manzini where the baptisms were held.
