After a really bad Saturday, the truck broke, then one
of the bikes broke and finally it was the computer, just while I am busy with
this letter I accidentally deleted all my files and try to restore it again. Gideon
came into the room and ask: ”Dad can I give you a hug, seems to me you need
it.? Ja off course I was in need of a hug and much more. Days like this drive
me insane as I struggle just to keep everything running and after fixing
everything, it start to break again uggghhh. Seems that I do not get to the
things that I am supposed to do, that is to share Christ with the people.
I took the boys for breakfast this Sunday morning,
church is open but not open yet, its 2020!! Well it was full of holiday makers
from Phnom Pehn and we shared a table with an old uncle and his family. After
we got our food, we prayed as usual and start digging in. I could hear the
uncle pray as well and it was like music to my ears. He turned to me and ask if
we are Christians. In my broken Khmer we strike up a conversation and he told
me that his family is Christian and he is on his way to church. The boys were
amazed that the old uncle was a Cristian as they know that most people are not.
I could share to the boys that something like praying for your food can have a
big impact on someone. I reminded them the importance of praying for your food
at least in a country where we are allowed to.
Seems that this Chikungunya virus is hitting wide and
heavy. Our friends in Thor Piang Rosey got it bad with 7 of his family down
with it. Please pray for Heang and his family as they struggle with this virus.
Our friend Brea Johnson is still not doing well and struggles through it.
Toinette has another stomach issue due to her immunity that is low and she is
still very weak at certain times of the day. That makes work very hard as she
runs out of steam. My friend Scott in the USA is back in the ICU but his wife
is saying that she expect him back today again. Please pray for his full
recovery.
I will go down to Phnom Pehn tomorrow on Monday as I
need to renew my driving license , not that the truck is doing good, but at
least I need it hahaha. Pray for safe travels on these roads that people do not
care how they drive. I will visit our good friends Curtis and his sick wife
Brea. Giving some encouragement, I am good at, so it will be handy.
I attach for you a really good testimony from up North
from our good friends Gordon and Bee. They are working under the minority
people groups in Ratanakiri and I think they are doing great work. They are
part of the people there as they are there such a long time working alongside
them. The story is about the Chinese involvement in getting the Yeak Lom Lake
for a resort. Please read it, it’s a bit long but it is a testimony of people
that love the Lord and willingness of a young church to stand against un-justice.
Stay safe in this time and may the Lord protect you
from this ever present virus.
Love
Rossouw-clan
