Nelson Mandala - promoted to Glory

Mandala has gone to be with the Lord. Salvationists refer to death as "promotion to Glory"

He was truly a saint. He bore no grudges against his persecutors and tormentors. Twenty seven years in prison, that's a very long time. That man when he came into power called for reconciliation. No call for revenge. Let me quote one of his sayings:


“I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.” What humility! It is worthy of emulation. I am reminded of Jesus' words on the cross, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."

We thank God for saints like Mandala.
