Connections: Botswana

Greetings to our Harvest Partners and the Global COGOP family. We (my wife, Malebogo, and I) give glory and honor to God who strengthens us always. The work in Botswana is continuing well despite the negative effects Covid has had on a number of our small churches that are still finding it difficult to recover. However, we thank God for new churches that are being planted and also for the vision we have to plant more churches across the country.

Projects

We are in a process of acquiring a piece of land, about 37 acres in size, near one of the counties closer to the capital city. The vision for this land is to turn it into a business center for the church, which will generate income for church planting and also fund national office expenses. Our current funds are inadequate to enable us to take the gospel to the places where it is needed most. Because of the high level of unemployment, depending on tithes and offerings is not adequate especially for a church with few members. The purchase price of the land is $15,000.00. We have made a down payment of $7,000.00 and are appealing to you, our partners, to help us raise the balance of $8,00

National Vehicle for Evangelism

We desperately need assistance for the acquisition of a national vehicle primarily for transportation of evangelism team members led by the national bishop. This team helps boost the efforts of our local pastors in evangelism and also pioneers work in new places. We need about $7,000.00 to acquire a secondhand, seven-passenger vehicle.

We thank you for your prayers, your love, and financial support. We love you and are glad to be part of this wonderful God-loving family.
