Newfrontiers in Botswana

After spending two years at CCK in Brighton and a year and a half with PJ Smyth at Godfirst church in Johannesburg, Thapelo Otlogetswe, together with his wife Shinie and their little boy Lobopo-Tyrone, are leading a church-plant in Botswana's capital city Gaborone. They have been joined by local couples and others from South Africa and Zimbabwe. They meet at the University of Botswana campus where they have established 2 cell groups on campus and two more in homes outside campus. They are currently developing a team of leaders to lead the church. The church will be launched in the first quarter of 2008.
