St Johns to open multi-million Pula building

The Minister of Labour and Home Affairs, Edwin Batshu, has been invited as the guest speaker. The theme of the event is: "Transforming the church mandate towards social development".According to a press release from church, in 1986 St Johns broke away from its mother body in South Africa and established its headquarters in Francistown.The church then developed a 10-year development plan geared towards designing and building a multi-million Pula modern infrastructure.

They said it was in line with its broad mandate of serving the nation beyond theological services to include formal education and socio-economic development.The new building comprises six classrooms for a private senior secondary school, headmaster's office, a computer room for the training of computer skill based courses, bursar's office, multi-purpose hall that can accommodate over 20,000 people for church and community activities and a baptismal pool which is still under construction.
