A full Christian Sabbath school lesson study program was conducted during a prison visit in Lesotho, South Africa, last month, before 37 officers and 287 inmates, Brother Michael Tšukulu Rantai, Bible worker at the Lesotho Field of the IMS, who conducted this missionary activity, confirmed on Monday, August 4, 2025. In addition, Brother Michael Tšukulu Rantai made 19 more missionary visits last month, including the sharing of the four pillars of our faith in an independent ministries WhatsApp group composed of believers from both Lesotho and South Africa, as well one more prison visits, three three funeral attendances and visits in the Maputsoe local church and Maseru Local Church which is 122 km away from Botha-Bothe where he resides.
Botha-Bothe is the capital of the district with the same name in the Kingdom of Lesotho, formerly known as Basutoland, a landlocked country in South Africa, formed in 1824 by Moshoeshoe the First, which became a British colony in 1884, while its independence was achieved in 1966. Lesotho’s constitutional government was restored in 1993 after seven years of military rule, but King Moshoeshoe the Second was exiled in 1990, however he returned in 1992 and was reinstated in 1995, and, after his death in 1996, his son Letsie the Third took the throne, which he still holds.
