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 has 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.

Gideon is no longer with us but Anton is studying in Malaysia. 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 13 April 2020



 

Yesterday we had a cabin-fever. Sundays, in this house, nothing happens fast. It is a day off, right?? Well in the afternoon, yours truly could not take it anymore and chased everyone out of the house, while a big storm was brewing. Armed with a nice cuppa, we waited out the storm. The wind blew a lot of mangoes and we spent the rest of the evening peeling mangoes and today Twans bottles yet another batch of mango chutney. It was so nice when it finally rained and we got drenched, but happy. It broke the heat a bit. Anton said it’s a great way to end Resurrection Sunday as the Lord gave some much-needed rain for the dry land. We listened to Pastor Sunny sharing about Thomas and were reminded that those who believe without seeing are blessed.


FGC Community Link made some food parcels for those students whose families don’t have income over this time as well as the church member in the village. The families were very thankful. We pray that this will be a testimony to them of the love and care of Christians at this time.
We are awaiting more restrictions as the Senate started to discuss the State of the Emergency draft law. Continue to pray for Cambodia as the government seek ways to curb this virus. Khmer New Tear has been canceled and people are restricted from moving between provinces. This is the biggest event on the calendar for the Khmer people.


Some news from Cambodia:
Couple test positive for coronavirus, total rises to 122
Khuon Narim / Khmer Times  Share:  
Two residents in the capital on Friday tested positive for the coronavirus, bringing the total infected patients in the Kingdom to 122, Phnom Penh Municipal Health Department said. The patients, identified as a 24-year-old Vietnamese national and her 50-year-old Canadian husband, are receiving treatment at the capital’s Chak Angkre Krom health centre.
Municipal health department director Ngy Meanheng said yesterday officials are working on tracing people who came in contact with the patients. “We sprayed disinfectants and sanitised the apartment unit they live in,” he said, adding the unit has already been sealed off to contain any virus transmission.The apartment building is located along Street 302 in Boeng Keng Kang I commune, said commune chief Prak Maly who assured the virus will not spread to the neighbouring units.
Health Ministry spokeswoman Or Vandine said yesterday: “An investigation as to where they may have contracted the coronavirus is underway.” .As for the apartment, she said: “We cannot seal off the whole building because other people live there and would need access to the building day in and day out.” She added health officials have instead sprayed disinfectants in the apartment compound.
The two new cases bring the total number of foreign nationals infected with the virus to 71, in addition to 40 French nationals, 13 Malaysians, five British, three Chinese, two Vietnamese, two Americans, two Indonesians, one Canadian and one Belgian.
In related news, the Health Ministry said two Malaysian patients, aged 34 and 58, who were receiving treatment at a hospital in Kampong Cham province, recovered from the coronavirus, raising the number of recovered patients to 77. Both were diagnosed in Kampong Cham on March 19, along with four other Malaysians, following their return from a religious congregation in Malaysia in late February. Seven other Malaysians who were also in attendance at the congregation were diagnosed in the provinces of Kampot and Kep.


I love to hear from you all, now that you have some time on your hands, no excuses.
Love
