Botswana lies on the high interior plateau of south central Africa.  It is a vast land-locked flat desert-like wilderness with a population of 1.6 million.  In area, it is similar to Texas.  Assembly work in Botswana was started in 1966 by Scottish missionaries; currently there are 5 assemblies in the country.  There is an open door for evangelism, but the laborers are few.  Nationally the HIV/AIDS infection rate is 40%.   Setswana and English are the two official languages.
