The Special Convention

How to describe the convention in a nutshell: amazing, life-changing, a huge demonstration of love and unity. There aren't enough words and there isn't enough time to describe the incredible experience we had the last three days.

The program was presented in Zulu and English. There was a peak attendance on Sunday of over 20,000. We met people from all over Africa: South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Namibia, Ghana, and Congo. There was a front page article in Monday's Pretoria News about the convention.

The local brothers and sisters are very warm, kind and loving and so grateful that we traveled all this way to visit them. The days went too fast and we wish we had more time to hear the stories of those we met and to meet more people.They have such a love for God and many have gone through so much. 

The children were so sweet and so polite. Such beautiful smiles and lots of hugs. We have been very impressed by the young adults we met who are serving in the full-time ministry - they are so giving and very happy.

We felt a little like celebrities because everyone wanted to take pictures with us. ;-) We have been so loved and so well cared for. We feel so blessed to have been here and see our worldwide brotherhood in action.
