3. The Stotlers were the first Nazarene missionaries to work among the Venda tribe near the northern border of the Republic of South Africa. This was officially handed over to national leadership in 1987. From 1988-1992 the Stotlers served as interim mission director on the Natal Indian and Zulu districts and in the Northern Transvaal where they taught extension courses for the Bible College. Pat assisted the district treasurers and provided training for auditors. Most recently, they have pioneered new work for the Church of the Nazarene in the Southern African mountain kingdom of Lesotho. Three churches in the low lying areas of the country have been organized. Much of their effort has been direct to flying into the Maluti mountains to reach the people there. The Stotlers provide training for pastors, laypersons (men and women) and in discipling new converts. The Stotlers will be retiring in 2006 after having served 17 years in South Africa and 14 years in Lesotho. Prayer Request: Pray for the 20 men and women who have been called and are preparing for the ministry in Lesotho.
