Feels like such a long time since we last wrote you guys.
Well nothing else than the usual has happened in the Rossouw household. The new
year brought a few challenges along with it and we try to go through bit by
bit.
Mordegai is down with his 2nd bash of Malaria in
2 months and in between he also had a Hernia surgery done. Together with all of
this he is not a happy chappie….. Cabin-fever set in already a few weeks ago as
he needs to stay at home for at least 2 months without climbing on a bike or into
his Landy for some fun and ministry in the jungle. Oeg that is a tall order to
handle.
Ps. Kea is reporting that the little cell group in Thor
Piang Rosey is doing very well. He went there the other day to preach and was
amazed how many new believers were there. Seems to me we just need to stay away
from the people and then God can work. We can be such a hindrance some times.
It is hard to be here, stuck in the city and not allowed to go out and see for
myself, but I know God sometimes keep us away from His work. All the Glory to
Him.
After listening to the visual bible stories on Saturday
mornings at Value Life Clinic, the moms and children can now also receive a
"spa lice treatment” at our clinic :-) They love their shiny lice
free hair. This is just to show that we can reach out with God’s love in such
simple ways.
Please pray for Peack (Diamond). He is 3 months old and very malnourished. His mom first brought him to the clinic at 1 day old, then we immediately transported him to hospital as he was very lethargic and cyanotic (blue). He was on O2 in hospital but the mother left the hospital the next day, saying she was not comfortable in the hospital. We've tried to see baby frequently.

His mother says she doesn't want him, her other children are
in orphanage. We are concerned that she might not be feeding him enough and he
has facial features pointing towards fetal alcohol syndrome. We need to pray
earnestly and ask God's wisdom. Kerri and Meng (the social work team of the
clinic) will go for a home visit this week.
Hope
School has Camp week this
week. Gideon and Anton's year groups are camping at school. Toinette need to
help full time at the school this week. Watching Gideon in school has brought a
deeper realization of how much he has to face each day, it is not easy for him
and you can see how he has to calm himself down many times, how he struggles
with all the stimulation. His classmates love him and us thank God for the
children who really reach out to Gideon. Please pray for our little soldier.
We can report that Gideon went to the Country club where
they could go on roller blades, swim and finally ride horses. This was a fun
filled day for mum and Gideon. Anton’s group is into building pirates stuff and
every day he come home with something new. So much fun at school, wish I was
back at school…….
Thank you so much for praying for us as a family. We really
appreciate your prayers and cannot do without it.
Love
Rossouw-clan
