Annual Gospel Awards (AGA) team, which comprises of different gospel artistes paid a visit to Lempu Junior Secondary School in Salajwe on recently to give support to the pupils who were attacked by an unknown disease.

Speaking during the visit, gospel legend, Phempheretlhe Pheto said they were driven by love and compassion to go and praise God with the pupils.

He said they saw what they went through during the time of the attack and they were there to give them support. 

Pheto appreciated those who  also extended a helping hand like churches that offered prayers, counsellors, psychologists as well as parents and government officials.

As gospel artistes, he said they also had to step in as directed by the Holy Spirit to praise God with Lempu pupils adding that praise was a powerful tool in the Kingdom of God that consoles and comforts the soul and brings joy to the heart.

He further said he believed that Christian songs had a way of reaching to the soul and giving hope that God would see them through any situation.

Pheto further said even in the Bible, when King Saul was in need of comforting music, David was called to play music for him so that he could sleep.

The pupils were left in awe as they saw their celebrities being, Gabo Thotobolo of the famous Nkhurumetsa song, Ouna of Igwe mabalabala, Obakeng Sengwaketse, Apostle Joel Keitumele and Pheto.

Moruti John Phillip of the Bible College also encouraged the pupils and teachers to remain resolute in their faith in God as he could deliver them from any challenges they were face with. He said they should know who they were in Christ and should not allow the devil to play with their minds, stressing that the devil had no room in their lives and they should not allow him to rule over them.

AGA coordiantor, Keitumele said as gospel artistes, they wanted to reach out to different communities.

He said the AGA Tour of Hope was an outreach programme they would carry out to reach other communities.

Meanwhile, primary schools in the Molepolole Administration Authority region donated toiletries to the school.
