Good evening dear family and friends,
During the weekly bible study with our staff last
Friday one thought stood out: "If
our focus is on ourselves, we will be limited.
If we focus on anyone or anything, they will all change. Putting our
focus on Jesus is most reliable and meaningful"( 321 Booklet) Hopefully we can all continue to ask where
has the focus become more on me.
We had a bit of a rough week emotionally. It all
feels a little bit lighter after just giving in and crying our hearts out.
Thank you to all of you for continuing to pray for us for comfort and peace. We
had friends over for dinner this Saturday and also a young man from Namibia who
came over to teach English. Realized he is the first person now in our lives
who hasn't met Gideon and it was another step in the whole grieving process.
Mordegai gave Gideon's motorbike to use and it was bittersweet to see another
very tall boy on the motorbike.
Please continue to pray for the River of Life
fellowship at the KoukResay center. Last Sunday more than 80 kids came to learn
about Jesus. Pray for protection for each child, that the seeds will fall on
fertile ground and grow. Pray for spiritual breakthrough in this area, for the
church members that stopped coming to return. One member, Bong Sang, is turning
blind. Her family told her they would not help her if she continues to follow
Jesus. Some of our high school students
who attended the Mighty Kids program before covid now have not returned. Pray
for opportunities to meet and invite them back.
Praise Report: For the past 3 years we've been
concerned and asked prayer for Phark. He was one of Twan's students who
accepted the Lord but stopped attending church when he started to work. Another
student told Twans this week, that Phark is still following Jesus, he has a
Christian girlfriend now as well. Thank the Lord for His continued good work in
this young man's life.
Noah is not doing well. She doesn't want to eat and
is becoming very weak. Some days she doesn't want Mordegai to clean the wound.
This morning she looked a bit better, she had a bath and was chatting again. We
are also thankful because Mordegai could find some topical lidocaine and the
wound cleaning was not so painful. Thank you for continuing to pray for her.
Mordegai is planning an outreach to Ratanakiri from
this Friday to Monday. Please pray for wisdom and protection during travel as
well as for each person they can help. Mordegai and Semay will go to a far village near the
border of Vietnam. Pray for good relationships to be build and for
opportunities to share about Jesus.
Love to you all
Rossouw-clan
