ShareHim Goes to Lesotho

Carolina Conference President Leslie Louis and a team of nine young adults recently went on a ShareHim evangelism trip to South Africa. The team spent more than a week in the kingdom of Lesotho in a town called Mohale’s Hoek.

The area had already been exposed to Adventist teachings, so the series of 11 sermons served as a revival and recommitment for those who live there. The team had an hour of devotion every morning, and held meetings every evening. The nightly messages focused on the book of Jonah, and near the end of the series, the sermons covered baptism. For those who expressed a desire for baptism, the group dedicated a day to providing clarification and further understanding. Since the church had no baptistry and the river was too cold, the group drove an hour to a church with a baptistry, and 27 individuals were baptized. Several more candidates are preparing for baptism as well. The ShareHim team also ministered to prison inmates for several days, focusing their messages on God’s faithfulness.

The trip wasn’t all work, though. The team also went zip lining and went on a safari. Past ShareHim trips were mostly composed of older adults, but recently the focus has shifted to involving young adults in evangelism. Louis expressed how amazing it was to connect with the group of young adults. He had been on many mission trips, including one ShareHim trip, in the past, but never before had a group become so close. The group bonded both socially and spiritually. He expressed how it was “hard to part” from each other when it was time to go their separate ways.

The trip was an amazing success. Site manager Victor Dyman took care of the ShareHim team, making sure they had everything they needed and the trip flowed smoothly. They felt God truly had His hand in this trip, and both the ShareHim team and their new brothers and sisters in Christ in Lesotho were blessed by the experience.
