For a while, we halted\nthe Sunday school classes, especially after the Covid-19 virus hit our church\ncouncil hard. To avoid contact between the children and the adults we had to\nteach them at home. We currently have four teachers helping with the lessons.\nThey are from our congregation. &nbsp;We are especially grateful for the booklets we received\nfrom brother Tiddo Voogt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/botswanasending.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kinders-dekar-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botswanasending.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kinders-dekar-2-1.jpg 683w, https:\/\/botswanasending.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kinders-dekar-2-1-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>D&#8217;kar church children<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our\nprayer is that the Lord will truly bless us with the teaching of our children.\nAs can be seen in the picture above, the harvest is great, but the laborers are\nfew, and we can only pray for laborers in His harvest, for the harvest belongs\nto Him. The children enjoy the lessons and that is very positive to us. The\nnumbers reflect that. To make the photo above form a complete picture, one can\nuse the boy in front, number 86, as a cut-off point. Unfortunately, I could not\nfit all in one photo, otherwise, I would have had to stand further away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"730\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/botswanasending.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kinders-dekar-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botswanasending.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kinders-dekar-1-1.jpg 730w, https:\/\/botswanasending.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kinders-dekar-1-1-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption>more children of D&#8217;Kar reformed church<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our\nconfession class is taught twice a week, Mondays and Tuesdays. The classes are\ndiligently attended. Also with them, we had to call a halt for a while at a\ntime when the church council was ill. Luckily they were patient until we could\nstart again. Our request to you is not to forget our children in your prayers.\nThis is our church&#8217;s future but more broadly also the future of the Gospel of\nour Lord Jesus Christ here in Botswana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greetings\nand Blessings,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendrik\ndu Plessis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rev Hendrik du Plessis Church life here in D\u2019kar is slowly but surely returning to normal.
