A total of 131 District Rectors and District Rector Helpers from Southern Africa gathered in George over the weekend of 6-8 November 2026 for the District Rectors' Conference.

The District Rectors joined the Apostles and Bishops for the official commencement of the conference on Saturday morning, 7 November.

Several topics were covered, including a spiritual portion, important pastoral matters, administration, and information on Sunday School. 

The highlight of the weekend was the divine service in Dellville Park Congregation on Sunday, 8 November, where all the Apostles, District Rectors, and District Rector Helpers gathered. The sounds of choir and orchestra added to the joy and excitement in the church building. 

The District Apostle read a Bible text from Philippians 4:12-13 as a basis for the sermon: "I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Apostles J Mabaso and A Page were called to serve along.

All too soon the divine service concluded with the choir rendering “Behold, what manner of love”. Thereafter, the District Apostle greeted the congregation, and a group photo was taken with the District Rectors and their helpers.
