Medical to the remote

This Blog is all about the work of God. Nothing we do is without the knowledge of our Father. He is the soul provider for everything we do.
We are Mordegai, Toinette, Suzaan, Gideon and Anton Rossouw from Namibia-Africa. . This Blog is all about our lives here in Cambodia while Suzaan works in South Africa. We are real Farmers from Africa and we love life and what it have to offer and enjoy it day by day.

Mordegai travels to remote villages, doing much needed medical work ,where no other doctors go, with local pastors.

Toinette is at home with the boys. Gideon is no longer with us but Anton will finish with Hope school this year and start online classes .Toinette joins FGC Community Link Cambodia to the villages close by, teaching local children in an after school setting and also women about Health Issues in a village setting.

We consider us Asians as we live such a long time in Asia, eating rice as a staple food and not meat......

Our motto in life comes from a dear friend:

With common sense and God we
can accomplish a lot

Monday night prayers 28 October 2019





I guess a slow week makes up for all the guests you get to entertain. Toinette had to go to Malaysia for a visa run and that left us boys here alone at home…….. Of course, we invited a lot of friends and had a huge Braai, hahaha. My friend Manoj also came over to stay here for a few days. Great to had him here with us. It’s always good having other missionaries here that speak the same language than us. We can talk about everything that bothers us as we experience the same issues. Took us a while to clean the house up before Toinette arrived again….





She had a ball of a time with our good friends from FGC Johor Bahru. They are like family already as we know them for so many years now. It was a good time for Toinette to relax and also catch some air again. I will go down this week again to work on the last piece of the visa-puzzle. Hopefully, we will have her visa soon. Pray for speedy visa approval.
Big rain is falling and I am sure the farmers are happy. Everything started late this year and the flooding was not big enough and the water to the Tonle Sap Lake was not enough, bad illegal fishing and dams are to blame for that. I was reading an article about food shortages for the rest of the year as they have lots of water but no fish anymore. “




“”PHNOM PENH - For centuries, Cambodians have looked to Tonle Sap, both a river and a lake, for dinner. But a repast of grilled river fish, sprinkled with salt and stuffed with lemongrass, may soon be a very special event. Today, “there is only water but no fish,” said Nan Sok, 60, gazing at Tonle Sap Lake from his house on the outskirts of the capital city of Phnom Penh.
A Cambodian Muslim fisherman, he recalled that in 1979 he could “catch the fish just by dipping my hand in the water there were so many. … But now even if I use a big net for a whole day, there would be nothing.” Read the full article by clicking the link below.







Let me introduce you to one of the men I am looking up to for being extremely faithful in difficult circumstances. Mam Choeun is the pastor from Srahlao Sroung Church in Kabal Domreay, Tom Rieng, Sandan District, Kampong Tom. Together with his wife and granddaughter, they manage this little church for more than 10 years now. Only a handful of people attend but they are there every Sunday and have Bible study together every week. Faithful is the key to success here in the province. In Kabal Domrey as in many other small places in Cambodia, life is not easy. As a pastor, you need to work very hard outside the church to provide for your family, which includes farming and carpentry for this pastor. Nobody has money so you cannot rely on tithes to sustain your lifestyle. In bigger towns, it will be different but out here in the boendoes, everyone needs to work for only food on the table. This handful of members is a real light in the spiritual darkness in this place. People are not interested in church as they say:”” we have work and we are very busy.”” Pray for this church and its members. This is the church where a normally stay when I go to the jungle. Talking about real family!!


Praise God that Uncle Jan Mostert could go to a good doctor in Windhoek and they could do an operation there to save his leg. We are so grateful that they could use their medical fund to pay for this. God is good.
Sonja Botha is asking for prayer. She is struggling with the passing of her husband and it is difficult at this time.
Thank you for praying for us all. I leave you with this to ponder on. Get this book and read it, it is talking about the stuff we are struggling with today. I will not say it’s a good book for nothing, I do not read a lot but this book is good to read again.


The only way to live a godly life in an ungodly culture is by remembering that your days are numbered, your life will be weighed, and your heart will be distracted and divided. Putting God first enables you to make the most of your time here on earth, to keep your life balanced by your divine purpose, and to protect your whole heart. Don’t wait until you have a breakdown. Do it now. The Daniel Dilemma: How to Stand Firm and Love Well in a Culture of Compromise by Chris Hodges, Lysa TerKeurst
