Good evening you all
Finally got some time to speed type this letter. I am
waiting for some chicken to smoke for a team that will visit us tonight.
Watching my small smoker doing its thing while typing is definitely the way to go.
This week is going to be a busy one as Anton is leaving for his last trimester,
on Friday and then I am off to the jungle on Saturday. His best friend, Jerry
came and visit and they are getting in visits after a year not seeing each
other. Good seeing old friends hugging each other in church yesterday. Not looking
forward to saying goodbye on Friday. Please pray for Anton’s passport to reach
soon, his resettling with new roommate and new courses and that he would
continue to be a witness for Christ.
As you know by now, the war on the border is a tense
one. Here in Cambodia the people are all
standing together and although they are scared for the war, they are unified as
a nation. It is touching to see how everyone is giving what they can to help
those who are displaced. Please pray for those still at the front who are
struggling with very little to eat.
Like I said, a team from Curtis’s church in the States
is here and we will have some dinner later on. On Saturday we will go to the jungle and give
some needed meds coupled with the Gospel to the people around the mountain. It
is also a good time for the small church to see the people that are really
praying for them in a faraway country. Please pray for a good outreach as well
as for our bikes and travel mercies for everyone. Remember, driving on these
roads are not for sissies. Pray for hearts to be open to receive the true word
of God.
Thank you for all your prayers for Ouma Paula. Not
easy for Twans not being there. Her brothers give feedback every day. Ouma is receiving
morphine now through IV and hopefully this will help with the pain.
Read about a German soldier fighting in the trenches
along France’s Marne river in World War !, where one million soldiers died on
the Western front in 1914 who wrote home: “What
is the good of escaping all the bullets and shells if my soul is
injured.” Reminded of Jesus’s words in
Matthew 16 “….For what have you gained
by possessing the entire world if in the process you forfeit your soul”.
Thank you for standing with us in prayer.
Love you all
