On Thursday 2 May 2024, Apostle Bradley Bourne visited the Stellenbosch District.
He first visited the home of Priest Manie Johnson, who, due to illness, could not attend the divine service. The Apostle placed Priest Johnson into retirement and was accompanied by District Evangelist Wayne Cicilie, as well as Community Evangelist, Michael Litchi, Rector of Kayamandi congregation.
A small group of choir members made this event very special by rendering a few hymns. Priest Johnson served as a Priest for 31 years in various congregations within the District.
Thereafter, the Apostle conducted a divine service in Kayamandi Congregation. The divine service was based on a Bible text recorded in Revelation 3:8. Before the celebration of Holy Communion, 1 adult and 2 children received the gift of the Holy Spirit through the act of Holy Sealing.
It was an extra special evening as the Community Evangelist Michael Litchi also celebrated his 60th birthday. Joyous fellowship commenced after the service, and with the lead of the Apostle, the congregation sang happy birthday to their Rector.
