80th Birthday Celebration of Mission Director, Erlo Stegen

On the 1st March 2015 there was a celebration of Rev Erlo Stegen’s 80th birthday. Various dignitaries attended including His Royal Highness King Zwelithini, Prince MG Buthelezi and the National Minister of Finance Mr Nene.

The King’s speech congratulated Rev Stegen on behalf of the Zulu nation and the Zulu Royal Household. Much was said in appreciation of all that God has done through His servant Rev Stegen.

Then Rev Stegen preached from Song of Songs 5:1 “I came to my garden, my sister, my bride”. Jesus has redeemed His church through His precious Blood and she is now His garden, his spouse. He gave His life to make His bride the most beautiful garden ever seen, full of variety of colours and fragrances. Let us not allow the devil to plant his seeds of weeds and thorns.
