Sorry for being so quiet over these weeks. We were in
Malaysia, busy with Anton’s stuff for university. While there we took some time
off and hung out with him before we had to say the big goodbye. Back home
everything now is so quiet without children in the house and now we need to
keep each other company. I am sure many of you already experienced that
feeling, we are just a bit old for this. Never mind we will make it, talking
with Anton 2x a day to ensure we use the new technology. Were are the times when
we can hardly speak to our parents.
Anton is settling into life at the university. He
already started with classes and things are looking pretty hectic but that’s what
study is all about. He made contact with a Christian group and also a nice
church. We accompanied him to church and the people were very welcoming. So
please pray for him as he is struggling to be about the only Christian boy in
his hostel surrounded by lots of children that just left home. All of us know
what that means. Pray that he will stand firm and that his testimony to others
will be strong. Pray for his Chinese roommate. His name is Lu and Anton says
they only exchange information at this time.
Some of you who know our story from day one will remember
that our story included an Indian man we met way back in 1995 in Namibia. His
name is Gopal Sunduram. Sumari you will remember him because you introduced us
to each other. After our time in Malaysia in 1996, we lost contact. I shared
with my friend Sonny here in Malaysia and he got hold of Gopal on the internet.
We could visit him and that was such a Godly visit. After all these years we could
see each other again. He now is a very influential man in Malaysia. Looking at
his CV you can see how God used him all these years working under his people.
It is like my friend says:” It is amazing to see God’s generals at work in
Malaysia.”
After we visit Malaysia, we can see God’s hand in all
of this. Years ago He already gave us friends and laid the foundation for us to
go back and enjoy the benefits after 29 years. Seeing Anton in Malaysia is like
living proof of God’s faithfulness to us all.
Pray for:
Ouma Paula is moving on with her life in Frail Care.
She is getting stronger by the day but still experiences a lot of pain in her
legs.
Please pray for our friend Terry Jones. “” They
went in to do a triple bypass and to shave the HCM muscle but found he needed
his aortic valve replace and another valve had a damaged flap that she has to
cut smaller. A 5 hr surgery became a 7
hr surgery. Thank you for your prayers.
UPDATE:
today is counted as day 2 because they don’t count surgery day. So day 1 they took out or shortened most of
the tubes and all but 1 IV They got him
into a chair twice and PT started walking him a few steps. He is still on a full liquid diet. He is
grateful and irritable trying to do everything they want from him. He is excited to see his grandkids today. “”
Pray for Dim that is reaching out to the people in the
jungle. The need for a place to worship and do some children's teaching is huge
so we are looking into plans to provide that. We do not want to make people
from other areas, jealous so we need to treat them very carefully in our
approach. Pray for wisdom.
Thank you very much for praying with us. We cannot do
without it.
Love
