Well the New Year started and we are already done
with the first week. Sjoe things go fast. Seems to me that this year is going
to be a quick one. Was encouraged by my good friend David yesterday, in church.
He read in Mark.10:46-52. Why did they mention in the bible:” Now they came to
Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude,
blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.”” We can
see that Jesus knew Bartimaeus, because He knows his father’s name as well. Who
cares about a poor, blind man’s dad?? Jesus cares for everyone. We see that the
other people tried to shut him quite because he is just a low-life, but Jesus
heard him shouting out to Him. In a crowd of thousands of people, He cared for
one lost soul.
It talked to me that we need to walk the extra mile
and make an effort to go to those that needs Him in their lives, even if it
cost us everything and even if it’s a heck of an effort to do it. The reward is
that someone can learn about the true God. Let us make this one of our goals in
this year to follow.
Please pray for San. She is a committed Christian in
the church and witnessed yesterday that she is really looking forward that
Christ will heal her eyes as well. She is busy turning blind and there is
nothing we can do to chance it. I want to link her up with a friend in order to
teach her a skill for making ends meet, when she cannot see anymore.
Please pray for Toinette. Her back went into spasm
again and she is experiencing lots of pain. School started again and it’s a
full day with Gideon and Anton.
Continue to pray for my friends Jacob and Carmen and
their 4 children plus Dinah, another girl that will accompany them. They will
leave the States in 2-3 days for Tanzania. Pray for travel mercies as the
children experience the change of moving around.
Went around this afternoon with Argie and Yi with
our friends David and Sokwae to visit some families from church. So lovely in
the province, just outside of Siem Reap. Gideon enjoyed himself, just being
himself out of the house. It is welcoming to see that the people welcoming
Christ into their homes. Pray for these Khmer believers, not just here at our
little church, but the whole of Cambodia. They reckon there is only 2%
Christians here in Cambodia and the overwhelming rest, Buddhists. Pray for the
local church to stand up in unity.
Hope that this week will be a blessing to you all
and that the Namibians and South Africans will get soaked by the rain.
Love
