Last Generation takes to the rails.
“Charles* was always hungry to understand the Bible, final events, and many other things,” recalls Loago, a literature evangelist from Botswana. “When he read Last Generation magazine, he was able to learn about these things based just on the Bible. It was wonderful!”
“He wrote to the address on the magazine, which was the address of the ministry I was working with. We sent him The Great Controversy, and he studied further,” shares Loago. “He was speaking with an excited heart. You could tell that he had actually been redeemed from the deceptions that had been taking place in Africa.”
Stories like Charles’ are not unfamiliar to Loago Setswalo. Loago is originally from Botswana, but when he went to a university in South Africa, he met Last Generation magazine for the first time. Ever the alert literature evangelist, he looked into it to see if it would fit into his witnessing. “Frankly, I don’t like distributing something that I haven’t read,” he explains. “So I read it, and it was inspiring to me. I thought, This is well written. It’s good material.”
He put it to work. “Every time I went to the campus, I’d get a bag full of Last Generations. Then when I got into the train, I’d give them out to the people who were in the same rail I was in.” Every day, Loago boarded the train to his university, his backpack full of Last Generation magazines. Every day, he got off the train, his backpack empty.
Loago met many highly-educated people commuting to the university. “I was in the second class in the train. Several passengers could have had a doctorate or a master’s degree, and most probably had a certificate. Many of them were university students.” He says, “You know university students don’t read just anything, but they were curious to know the truth found in Last Generation magazine.”
“Last Generation is unique. Because it is so attractive, hardly anyone will turn against it,” Loago says. “It’s the most effective magazine I’ve seen for winning souls. The Holy Spirit seems to have been poured upon it.
“If you want to reach secular people, you must catch their attention and give them good stuff. You have to give them quality paper, as well as professional literature that gives them something they can actually think about. Last Generation magazine was good for that,” says Loago. “I wanted something with which to witness and reach out to souls. I knew Last Generation would be the best magazine to reach the heart.”
