OUT of TIME
Meanwhile in Botswana
Ditsame is a single mother who was inspired to move to the country in her late 20s by her
trips to South Africa and seeing the farms. God was planting a seed. In 2005, she returned
to Botswana from South Africa and found herself spiritually dry, so she went to a present
truth camp meeting. There, she heard about the health message, dress reform, and country living. The camps were deeply spiritually and challenging. She attended more camps
yearly. She was rebaptized at one of these camps. IN 2010, she bought her first 7-hectare
farm, but she was cheated. So she relocated to Palapye and bought a 103 hectare farm.
She had to give up on the farm because of the lack of water. Then she bought her current
14-hectare farm. It has been debushed. The first bore hole was a dud, but after much prayer and fasting, the second bore produced water. That allowed for her orchard to be planted. She has drilled two boreholes at about 220m depth. She is totally off-grid. She has a
three-bedroom house and various farming products. She has held two campmeetings on
her property, as well as one for the Adventist University students. She has a way to go and is
looking for volunteers who want to assist with the farming. Her mother lives with her, as well
as her brother, who is a recovered drug addict.
