wow Monday night again. So much is happening since we last talk to you
all. My friends Greg, Lois and Carmen already left for home in the
States and maybe by now they are there already. We had a wonderful
time together with lots of fellowship and lots of coffee. We tried to
make a trip into the jungles of Phnom Chi but got blocked by raging
rivers and no bridges. We helped to rebuild a bridge with the help of
all the community. Was a job and a half to get the heavy blocks into
place again .then we returned homeward but got stuck, not once but
twice in deep water. The poor Landy was in real trouble. The snorkel
did not work properly, due to bad mechanic work and it drown on impact
of the deep water. The wench got us out but the battery was not up to
it to start. So we push start the beast. Got it going just to got
stuck again in water. This time we payed a truck 10U$ to bail us out.
The truck is still in for repairs and still wet inside. Please pray
for us for my Landy as we already spend quite a lot on repairs this
month. This weather and mud is not good for any car. Lots of rain make
outreaches quite difficult this time of the year.
We have my friend, Reinette here from Pretoria. She will be here till
Jan'11 to learn a bit of midwifery and Primary Health Care. Pray that
we will be able to tech her the right stuff she wants to know. Pray
for her to have a wonderful time here in Cambodia and that she will
fit in easy.
Pray for the handful of Christians in the province. It is hard for
them to stand firm in their faith as Christians because of real
pressure from family and friends. Another thing for them is that they
are so few that they really need more encouragement and follow-up from
follow believers. Pray that we can work on a plan how to feed these
Christians with the faith of Jesus.
Pray for us as a family to have more time together and also to grow
more in our faith as parents for our 2 boys.
We thank you all for your time you set to pray for us all. May you
have a wonderful and full week ahead. So much fun when you work for
God!!!!
Mordegai for all of us

One day the well known Dr. David Livingstone received a letter from an
enthusiastic congregation in England: ""Have you found a good road by
this time along which we can travel with safety to the place where you
are working?"" If so, we have here a couple of men who would like to
join you.
Livingstone knew that prospective workers who were not absolutely
dedicated would never be able to stand up against what they would meet
along the way in Africa. Therefore he reported back in all
seriousness:""If there are men who are prepared to come only if there
are safe roads here, they should rather stay. I need people who want
to come, even if there are no roads at all. People who want to keep
their eyes only on the beaten track before them, instead of on Him,
who is the Way, will not survive here.""
