Good evening all
Sjoe, now the year is rushing fast. It is almost Christmas before we can do anything else. Most of the people I know already sent out their Christmas shopping lists and started preparing for all the parties there are to offer. Here in Cambodia, it’s a great time to share Jesus’s story to many.
This week was a quiet one as I was just doing woodwork and getting things ready here at home. Anton is hard at work on his home school and Toinette is slaving it away in the village. She teaches every day in spite of severe back pain. Please pray that we can get to the bottom of this pain. Right now she is out to a woman’s bible study.
Just talk to Uncle Nico Kriek. He says they just came from the specialist and he can help them with a surgery somewhere in January next year. There is some nerve problems in her lower back and that causes all the problems. Pray for anti-Elna as she is in terrible pain.
Let us all take a little bit of time and just reflect on the state of the world at this time. Just switch off the news for a bit and say a small prayer for the people in war at this time. Let us not act in Fear but let’s rather put our Hope in Jesus.
We are really enjoying reading Eternity in their hearts. If you can try and read it. We love reading how the Lord placed certain things in different people’s view in order for them to serve Him. This Acts part is just precious. Does this ring a bell somewhere??
Twenty-five percent of the book of Acts was already history and, as far as the record shows, they were not even making plans to obey the rest of Jesus’ last command! Even God was getting impatient, if we understand correctly what follows. God, it appears, was willing to use extreme measures to keep His Son’s gift to all mankind from ending up as the exclusive property of just one people—the Jews. God’s solution was very simple, if painful: He scattered the Christians through persecution. The enemies who hounded Jesus’ followers never dreamed they were fulfilling God’s will: “A great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria” (Acts 8:1, emphasis added).

Thank you once again for praying with us.
