Abstract: 

A biography is presented of African Evangelist preacher Paulo Rrafifing Molefane. He was most likely born during the 1790s and was baptized by Scottish missionary Robert Moffat on July 5, 1829. Paulo worked with the London Missionary Society (LMS) and began traveling in 1845 to preach, joining his brother Mebalwe and European missionary David Livingstone in various Tswana communities. He also worked with the Hermannsburger Mission Society (HMS).
