Recently I am confronted with the everlasting long
troubles in ministry that we so often get, I was confronted to the point where
I was having thoughts of giving up. But we must persevere, pray and do what we
can. This week I and my contacts in the village will go to the department of
Health with some documents to try and get permission again and somehow try and
partner with the government. Please pray for favor, the right people to talk to
that we can get permission papers.
So talking to my wife, she always has the Wisdom of
Solomon when it comes to these things. She reminds me that I need to stop
saying that I am not doing enough. If God’s plan for me is to go to Apo every
day and dress his wounds then it is what He wants from me and I need to follow.
Because Jesus says when we see someone in need and help them it is as if we are
doing it for Him. True but I always feel that we can do more than that. If that
is God’s plan for us, let it be. So in this “” off-time”” I am going to Apo
every day and clean his wounds and even get time to take a nap while I am
waiting for the Ozone machine to do its magic. See, I even get to take my
Siesta while “” working”” hahaha.
It is also a blessing to be at home to help Toinette
with Gideon. It is becoming more difficult to teach him due to the fact that he
wants to be left alone and then he does not do his work and that the work is
getting more difficult by the day and he struggles with it. Please pray for
him, as he struggles with a lot of frustration. We praise God that we could
bring both Anton and Gideon and a friend Jerry to a Youth group at the River
Church. They enjoyed it and we hope they will have this again.
Twans and the FGC team are still faithfully reaching
out to the students and families in Kouk Resay village. She shared about the
wise and the foolish man in the River of Life church yesterday. There is about 21
faithful members. The children’s ministry in the morning still continues. Some
of the younger ones are not coming anymore as their parents don’t want them to
come anymore. We pray for them as the seeds of the gospel were planted, that it
will grow.
Our New Zealand visas is a bit of a mess as they send
it to Beijing in China and the office there is closed due to the virus. They
say that they do not know when it will open again so it can take forever. Well
God’s timing is perfect and we just need to wait.
We are excited to let you know that Curtis and Brea’s
baby girl was born on February 18. “”We want to introduce the newest member
of our wonderful family... Harlow Grace Johnson, welcome to this world. “I will
give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your
works, And my soul knows it very well.” Thank you, Lord for this precious gift
of life. We cannot even begin to fathom how blessed we are.””
Please pray for Abraham and Chantel Warren that
currently is in SA. “”Good morning/afternoon. Chantal just completed an
intense 3 day, 12 hours daily conference. Today we heading off for
Kwazulu-Natal for possible 2 weeks stay. Thereafter the Cape. Basically it 2
weeks here, 3 weeks there, staying from house to house in various cities, towns, and provinces until June. We really need God’s wisdom and guidance in this
trips and planning. Folks want us to visit them and spend quality time and we
need to plan and make right decision over this period. Probably our
home-schooling will be affected by this. A bit overload and sometimes draining on
the children. We need your prayers in all of this. Much appreciated, Warrens””
Thank you for praying for us. May God grant you’re
wished for this week?
Love
Rossouw-clan
