The photo on the front cove is the Cape Point, which is commonly known as the ends of the earth. The picture left is the actual Cape Point where both the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet.
For us this was more than we expected as we began to realise that we had landed on a paradise on earth.

During their stay, their hosts very kindly ensured that they visited many locations and had lots of opportunities to fellowship with other the believers.
The Lion King?

Johannesburg After Cape Town Brian and Carol visited their good friends Deon and Bev Botha and their family. This was a nice relaxing time, but the work of the Lord continued in smaller meetings and in fellowship; encouraging and being encouraged.

Brother Deon is grandson to the late Sydney Jackson, who was a personal friend of Brother Branham many years ago. Although not a prophet in the sense of what Brother Branham was, Brother Jackson shared similar experiences familiar to him. Brother Deon is the proud owner of his grandfather’s bible, which is richly annotated with many of his personal notes. 18
Brother Jackson obviously loved his bible as you can see from the care he took to jot down his thoughts. Featured on the next page; Wesley’s Covenant, which we could all learn from.

WESLEY'S COVENANT John Wesley once felt the need of closer sympathy among the ministers, and together with twelve others, he signed the following covenant: It is agreed by us whose names are underwritten:
•First, that we will not listen or willingly inquire after any ill concerning each other; •Secondly, that if we do hear any ill of each other, we will not be forward to believe it; •Thirdly, that as soon as possible we will communicate what we hear by speaking or writing to the person concerned; •Fourthly, that until we have done this, we will not write or speak a syllable of it to any person whatsoever; •Fifthly, that neither will we mention it, after we have done this, to any other person; •Sixthly, that we will not make any exception to any of these rules, unless we think ourselves absolutely obliged to do so.
