A new clinic and a new free school for orphans from the area were built. It’s also the story of the many obstacles in building this new mission. John and Billie had to go into hiding for three months after being threatened with death by a former member of parliament who had become the chairman of the previous mission John and Billie worked for at Ematsayi. It’s God’s miraculous intervention that kept them safe and allowed the work to be completed.”
