Broadhurst Adventists to build P13m community centre

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Dr Margaret Nasha, on Sunday pledged a donation of P5,000 as she led a deputation of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Botswana at a ground-breaking ceremony to mark the building of a P13 million community centre.

Can that faith save him? "If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,' and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?"
