Lesotho Shepherds team update
Newly arrived and living on the Lesotho-South Africa border, the Williamson family have sent this up-date on the Shepherds TIMO Team…
The shepherds live high in the mountains of Lesotho – the Kingdom in the Sky – caring for flocks and herds, which belong to wealthy owners down in the valleys. They live in marginalised, isolated communities outside the reach of the local churches. From five and six years old, these boys and young men work away from their families with no education or literacy skills. But they have a very well-developed oral culture of songs and stories, which are handed down from generation to generation.

With over 120,000 boys and men still to hear the gospel, Lesotho’s herdboys is the largest unreached group in the ‘Switzerland of Africa’.
