Moses Jones is the coach for the karate junior national team. He had been searching for a spiritual home for a while, and visited a number of churches, but was unable to find one that met his spiritual needs. 

One day, he remembered that Francinah Eyman always talked about God and her church and decided to  chat to her. Francinah Eyman (or Fran as she's known), works as a Sport Development Administration Officer at the Botswana National Sports Commission. She is also the current captain for the national netball team.  More importantly, Fran has been a disciple of Christ and member of the Botswana International Church of Christ since her own days on campus. As part of her portfolio at work, Fran takes care of karate, amongst other sports.  That's how she shared her faith with Moses and invited him to church.

Upon his maiden visit Moses loved the warm reception he got from people he did not even know and felt connected. He approached the leader of the church Rapula Malejane and asked about learning more about God. Not long after that, Aobakwe Daniel and Goitseone Tlale studied the Bible with him and Moses got baptised on 4 August, almost a year after first setting foot in church. All Covid-19 protocols were observed and the rest of the congregation witnessed the baptism virtually. 

When asked what prompted him to be baptised during COVID-19 Lockdown, Moses said, "What God has decided, no man can change. It was time. I had to get under water. Lockdown or no lockdown." 

The proud father of two boys is looking forward to sharing the good news of God with all his coaches and students. He knows the road ahead will be easier with the Holy Spirit leading the way.

“Because I always see the amazing hand of God in my life, I feel compelled to share about his amazing grace with my friends, colleagues and fellow athletes. I always imagine that we all need his grace, and what better way to sensitise others about his mercies than to declare the wonderful things he does for me."

Fran is overjoyed that sharing her faith bore fruit. "One scripture that comes to mind when I see Moses being baptised is 1 Timothy 4:16. Perseverance in watching one’s life and doctrine does save you and your hearers,”  she said.
