Good evening you all
We just arrived back from Phnom Pehn where we were for
10 days for Anton to finish his final Year 12 exams. He is a free boy now and we
just wait for the results. So for now he wants to do some volunteer work and
sort himself out before he can go to Malaysia in November. The plan is to study
Creative Multi-Media Design at the Multimedia University in Kuala Lumpur for 2
years. Applications open up in June. Please pray for the whole application
process, finances as well as approval for a study visa. There are always extra concerns
and requirements because we are from an African country.
Our time in Phnom Pehn was good for us all. We stayed
in the flat of a girl that is in the States. . Thank you so much for all your prayers.
We were able to meet up with a few people. We celebrated Gideon’s 21st
by going with our Phnom Penh family for his favorite: Dumplings. Being with a
close friend made it a bit easier. We also could visit with some long-time friends
of ours and share their lives. Curtis
(who joins me sometimes on outreaches to share the gospel) and Brea have a new
baby girl and it was special to spend some time with this couple and their 2
daughters. A good long visit with our “adopter daughter” Kathrine. Gideon told
us many years ago to adopt her as our daughter. Please pray for her. She runs a home for children
at risk and face many challenges each day.
A short testimony from the students in Kouk Resay.
Twans shares how she and a small group of students were busy decorating their
classroom walls the other day. While cutting the shapes, one of them asked her “Teacher,
why did you come to my country?” Twans answered, “Because Jesus asked me to
come and share His love to the Cambodian people.” She then got all excited and said
Jesus really loves me because when I asked teacher Indin (Our Filipino staff)
the same question she also said the same as Teacher Toinette. This girl who asked the question has joined
the Joshua Generation program this year on Sunday mornings and is learning all
about Jesus. She and her friend, even stay after the children's program and join
the adult service in the afternoon, joining the worship team and even giving
testimony during the service.
The thing is, she is one of our smartest students in the
ACTS program. And her friend, who is falling in love with Jesus as well, is one
of our slowest students in the program. Isn’t it just great, literally the
smartest and the slowest, both of the same importance in the Kingdom of God?
Both worshipping God. I just love it.
May God bless you all in this week coming.
Love
Rossouw-clan
