Just came back from an exciting trip with the
Birthday boy, Gideon. We had so much fun. Things that a birthday boy need to do
on his birthday, cut a big tree down in the jungle while everybody cheered,
kill a snake, pampered a goose and got pooped on that he need to change
clothes, Play with a poor cat that was desperately trying to escape, Play with
a small baby owl and to top of everything go for a visit to Mr.Sok, a small
monkey. All in all a great time for mister birthday boy. It was good to have my
big boy with me and see him enjoying himself.
I went with Samai in the cut-forest and was overwhelmed
with all the people that came. I brought enough meds for 100 adults and their
children and we were swamped. That small church is bursting out their seems.
Uncle Niko you guys remember that small church we visit in the jungle, now they
cleared the forest and everybody is planting. Praise the Lord that we can go
there and help the church.
Ratanakiri will not be the same without a visit to the
Leper Anti. She was so depressed and full of pain when we arrive there. Luckily,
Gideon with his silliness made her smile. Thank you Gideon, always there to
lift the spirits. I convinced anti again to clean her wound as she was in bad
pain. Luckily my other Leper friend was there and she allowed me. Went back
this morning and she was doing much better. Please pray for her.
Talk to my good friends in Banlung and some good
plans are in the pipeline. I am already looking forward to our return from
Namibia in August. Seems to me that the door is opening up again in Northern
Cambodia in Ratanakiri and I am very happy for that. Working with good friends
makes for some fun times and great opportunities as these guys are full-on
church planters.
Please pray for the following people:
Andrea Calitz is back home after her operation and
need to wait a week to hear her results.
Manus Olivier’s schedule is most properly around the
corner.
Alex McCann is still in Singapore. From his wife:” We
knew Alex would be staying a few more weeks, that's mainly why we went, not
seeing him for 5-6 weeks is too long. They need to make sure he is responding
well to his meds before allowing him back. He will probably need to go to
Singapore every 4-6 weeks for the next 6 months to stay under the same
consultant.”
We praise the Lord for the rains that fell here in
Cambodia. Everywhere you see, farmers are getting the ground ready and
planting, awaiting more rain. Please pray that we will get enough rain this
year. Please continue for rain in Namibia.
May this week be a real eye-opener for all of us. Let’s
show people the love of God in a tangible way.
Love
Rossouw-clan
