"I pray this message finds you well. I am writing to share my enriching experience during my recent trip to Gaborone, Botswana, where I attended the Southern Africa International Lectureship over the Easter holidays. The event brought together over 2,000 participants from various Southern African countries, creating a vibrant atmosphere for learning and fellowship.

"During this inspiring event, I was honored to have the opportunity to teach a class on the 'Sense of Self' to approximately 200 youths. The lesson was prepared to help participants identify their true selves through the lens of Christ, promoting a deeper understanding of their intrinsic worth and purpose. This session was not only an amazing opportunity for me to impart knowledge, but it also allowed participants to engage deeply with their faith and identity in Christ. Participants learned that their worth is not determined by worldly standards but by the divine purpose that each of them holds.

"My experience at the Southern Africa International Lectureship was truly fulfilling. The opportunity to teach and interact with such passionate youths reaffirms the critical need for platforms that promote faith-based discussions. I am excited to see how these young individuals will carry the lessons learned into their communities, fostering a culture of spiritual growth, transformation and Christ-centered identity."
