Pieter Wessels is the actual founder of the Seven Day Adventist Church in Africa. During the diamond rush in Kimberley, Pieter got convinced that Saturday is the Sabbath of the Lord. Subsequently, he got into contact with the Seven Day Adventist Church denomination in the United States of America. He and the De Beer's, who sold their farm, Vooruitzicht, to Cecil John Rhodes, initiated the establishment of this denomination in Beaconsfield, Kimberley. Booklets of the Kimberley church museum reflects upon the first roots of this denomination and will be published at a later stage with supportive photographs.
