VIRTUAL PRAYER WALK MAP

FOR

NHLANGANO BAPTIST CHURCH

The Nhlangano Baptist Church began in our home shortly after we moved to Nhlangano in 1994.  In 1995 we started meeting at a training center but after a few months returned to meeting in our home.  The church has also met at the Nhlangano Library and is now meeting in the Regional Education Office.  In the early years there were few attending but the Lord has blessed in providing wonderful opportunities for this church to develop leaders and future pastors of Baptist work in the Shiselweni Region.

The Nhlangano Baptist Church is approximately 1 km from our home.  After leaving our house we past an apartment building, turn right and go straight until we reach the Regional Education Office.  There are a few homes along the way and little activity is seen  from them at 8:45 on Sunday morning.  

Thulie Vilane (pictured) prepares each Sunday to teach the adult and older youth Sunday School class.  She is a faithful member and leader of the Nhlangano Baptist Church.  She also helps along with Annah Thwala,* with the translation of discipleship materials from English to siSwati, a very important ministry.  Pray the many who are taught in the Word at this church will have a desire to study and learn more about the Bible.  Pray also the ministry of translating materials from English to siSwati will continue allowing Swazis to read and understand the scripture and who is Jesus. J

*Annah Thwala was the first convert of our ministry in Nhlangano and has been a member of  the Nhlangano Baptist Church since 1994.  She still attends and teaches the children’s Sunday School class.

The Nhlangano Baptist Church does not have a pastor but Wayne and Makhosi Mkhonta (pictured) make sure each Sunday the Word is preached.  Makhosi is a student  and feels the Lord can use Him in his work.  Pray for Makhosi to continue to seek the Lord’s will concerning his life.  Pray the Lord will continue to provide the leadership needed to lead and guide the church. 

There are a good number of youth who regularly attend the church.  Many display strong leadership qualities and are faithful to attend Sunday School and Thursday night Bible study as well as monthly youth meetings.  There are also quite a few children who attend, although their attendance is not as regular as the youth.  Pray for the youth of the Nhlangano Baptist Church to continue to be faithful and will make a point to invite their friends who do not attend church or know Jesus as their Savior.  Pray the children’s attendance will be on a more regular basis.

Nhlangano is a town that has many churches, some have their own buildings, many meet in schools, at the library and in buildings like the Regional Educational Office.  At one time there were 16 churches for a town with approximately 4,000 residents.  But many in the town are still lost and do not know Jesus as their Savior. Walking home from church, we see many coming from the Spar (grocery store), walking  around town or going to certain destinations.  Pray the members of the Nhlangano Baptist Church will have a desire to see the many lost in Nhlangano come to know the Lord.  Pray for the church to be a witness of Christ’s love.
