ASSEMBLIES IN 1964

The year got off to a good start with a circuit assembly in the Koumassi section of Abidjan attended by 152. Abidjan’s second congregation was formed here during 1964. George Kwakye gave one of the assembly talks on the value of courage. He was just quoting Jesus’ words about not fearing those who can kill the body but not the soul, when a snake appeared on the platform. Alarmed by the frightened gestures of the brothers in the front row, George fled to the back of the auditorium. After the snake had been disposed of by other brothers, George reappeared, somewhat sheepishly, to take up his talk where he left off!

In fact, in May 1965 another circuit assembly was held, this time in Grand Bassam, with the fine attendance of 200 at the public talk.
