My dear brothers and sisters in Christ
At the end of his first letter, elder Peter writes to fellow elders urging them to be shepherds of God’s flock that is under their care.
He also calls on the young men to defer to those who are older. Notice he does not call on this second group to withhold their much needed enthusiasm and freshness, rather to learn from those who are more experienced. I’m hoping and praying that will characterise the relationship between Solomon and me.

At congregational level, we have had a good example of this in that for several months now, St Mark’s has seen the more mature leaders and elders taking the younger potential men and women under their wing.
It has been my joy and privilege to further expose this next generation of leaders, Felix Agyei Elvis Fokala, Delaunay Fotsing Veronika Macher
Norman Mangena, Giyani Matampi, Maxwell Sewornu and Roger Tem to what it takes to be an elder.
It is either that they are all slow on the uptake, or I have not done my work very well, as I haven’t scared them off!! They are open to nomination and election, conscious of the fact that when the Lord calls us, he also equips us.
My life has been made easier by the arrival of Solomon and Perpetue in June. He has taken services at St Mark’s and St Giles’ and by the time you read this, he will have done his first service at Tarentaal Retirement Home. Compared with me, he is a genius with computers and just a good friend to have.

Thank you to all of you Marksmen and women for arranging for his licensing. Pray that the remaining ten months will be mutually beneficial for St Marks and the Surwumwes.
