RESEARCH DE BEER SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST LINKS

Reverend Henry Baptisto has invited me to visit the very first 7th Day Adventist Church in South Africa which was originally built in Kimberley, Northern Cape.  I kindly request De Beer's who are members of this church denomination, to update us about their first links with the 7th Day Adventists.  We endeavor to trace the first links between the original De Beer's of Kimberley and this church. It is speculated that the De Beer brothers of diamond fame, donated the first money to build the sink structure for this church in Kimberley and which lately was converted into a museum.
