Good day everyone
Christmas in Asia is not such a big deal. When we
first came to Cambodia, there were no signs of Christmas, but now it is all
over the place. The hotels’ displays even got all the Disney characters on
display as well with lots of lights of course. It seems it's good for business.
The Christians here use this time to tell the story of our Lord to the ones who
do not know. Big Christmas parties are conducted by various NGO’s, and it’s a joyful
occasion. Of course, the Filipinos already started their Christmas in
September. Poor Anton got some classes off but he still needs to attend them
online. I guess it depends on what university you attend. We will go and visit
him on the 26th and be back for the new year again, which is also
not a big deal around here as we have 3 new years to celebrate.
A team of young adults from Full Gospel Church Johor
Baru joined the FGC Community Link this past week. Twans was touched by their servant's heart to
come in their precious Christmas holiday and serve together with the FGC
Community Link team in KoukResay. It was
a Christmas party for the kids in the morning and adults in the afternoon in
KoukResay village yesterday. This is a great opportunity to invite the students
to learn at the center and their friends and neighbors. Christmas here is a great
time to tell the story of Jesus. 151 kids came in the morning and 53 adults in
the afternoon. The team brought a lot of crackers and small gifts that we could
hand out to the children. The younger ones each got a wooden toy car as well. Please pray with us for those who truly heard
the Gospel yesterday, that they would open their hearts to learn more and
accept the salvation of Jesus.
Visit a friend, who went through a very difficult time
these last few months. We just realize the importance of encouragement to people
in need. Just as we were comforted in our difficult times, we need to do the
same. It was great to see that the whole family is breathing again, even the
healing process is still going on. Let’s not forget those in need in this time
of celebrations.
Update on Ettiene:
We ask for extra prayer this morning. Last night my dad had a weird
sensation where he temporarily lost the ability to see in his right eye as the
bottom part went dark. This lasted for a little over a minute. When we told our
doctor this morning he said that it could be a number of things, but he wants
to take an MRI just to be on the safe side. In rare cases of my dad’s type of
cancer, it can spread to various parts of the body, including the brain. While
my dad doesn’t have any other symptoms that point to this, we are getting an
MRI later this afternoon after his immunotherapy and targeted therapy. We want
to ask that you please pray for protection for every part of my dad’s body, and
that no abnormalities would be found in his brain. We will keep you updated as
we find out more
The MRI came back normal! There is nothing
abnormal in the brain. We are so grateful! Jesus is so good! Thank you for your
prayer and support.
We wish you all a wonderful and joyful Christmas
season and may the Lord of peace be with you all.
Love
Rossouw-clan
