God Is Making A Way
Where There Seemed To Be No Way
Maputsoe is a border town in northern Lesotho. It is a typical rural border post complete with small open air markets, dirty, congested streets, donkey-pulled carts, and free range animals everywhere. When we first arrived in Lesotho, we attended the only Baptist church in Maputsoe where we were greeted by the pastor who happened to be blind. The pastor suffered a stroke which limited his ability to continue to lead the church so we began to lead Bible studies and help encourage the church in various ways. While stateside we learned that Pastor Lebusa died of complications from the stroke and without confident leadership the members scattered to other churches. They were like sheep without a shepherd. |

| The goal of the International Mission Board in Lesotho is to establish a church planting movement among Baptist churches in Lesotho. This is a movement whereby church members are actively involved in witnessing, home Bible studies and church planting. The Basotho Team, IMB missionaries and local church leaders, seek to serve these pastors and their churches through Leadership Training in these church growth principles as well as equipping lay leaders to this task. |
