South Africa Mission Team Trains Hundreds of Pastors and Leaders
Four Dakota Baptists traveled to South Africa last month to conduct a series of training and encouragement events for African pastors, pastor’s wives, and other ministry leaders.

The Dakota team included Paul Young (Dakota Baptist Church: Fort Totten, ND), Sean Donnelly (Whitewood Baptist Church: Whitewood, SD), Denise MacDonald (Hills of Grace Fellowship: Rapid City, SD) and DBC Executive Director Fred MacDonald. The team partnered with two South African pastors and their wives, Dr. Julius & Cintia Mbu and Pastor Segun and Funmi Adeyemo, in conducting the training.

A total of approximately 500 people attended three training events in Pretoria and Durban. The team also hosted six ministry couples at a one-day Shepherd’s Retreat. Young, Donnelly, and MacDonald each preached at two different churches on the Sundays they were there.
