Bits from the Branches
Because of this city's high crime rate you don't find crowds of people on public walkways. So public events are exciting for us as they provide the occasional opportunity to go and hand out our broadside tracts. That was the case at a recent pop concert in Pretoria. Says branch leader Michael Sischy, Our team of three noticed quite a number of Jewish folks in the river of people streaming into the stadium to hear Robbie Williams. One Jewish woman pointed us out to her children, warning them that we are the people they need to beware of. (Most don't realize that on principle, we do not talk to children under 18 without parental consent.) I was surprised to see a professor I knew from medical school (Michael was in medical practice before becoming a missionary) years ago. He smiled, said hello, took a broadside and went on his way! I was glad that we got to hand out 3,000 broadsides and be visible to so many who need Y'shua."
