Good evening you all
It was nice and cold for a while but the winter is
over and the hot season is here. Just came back from Phnom Pehn and believe me,
I am done riding for a week and then I need to ride again. Our good friends
Greg and Marci are here with a team and I joined them at the border of Vietnam
to visit with the pastors in Svay Rieng. They did a small conference and
encouragement session and I gave out some medicine that is always needed. I
went first to that place in 2008 and seeing it grow over the years is just
heartwarming. Curtis invested a lot of time with the local pastors and you can
see the fruits of the hard labor over these years.
This week on Friday we will bring the whole team into
the jungle to go and visit the people who live and farm around in the jungle.
Please pray with us for a rich harvest as some of the people want to be
baptized. Pray that the rest of the people from Rum Jopon are open to the
Gospel and not jealous of these new Christians. There are no Christians living
there, so please pray for protection for these souls. It is extremely hard for
them to stand against their old religion and choose to be a Christian.
We are a big group of 11 traveling on bikes. Pray for
no breakdowns and safe riding. Pray that the team will experience unity and
just enjoy the people and the beautiful place.
We have another good old friend Kari come to stay with
us for the week. She stayed here for a pretty long time when we just came to
Cambodia. We have known each other through some special times and looking forward
to her visit. I am glad that someone is here with Toinette over the weekend when
I leave.
Please pray:
We thank the Lord that Ouma Paula is doing better and
that she is slowly picking up some strength.
Update from Ettiene: Good news! My dad had his
endoscopy this morning and is feeling good. The gastroenterologist was very
positive about how much the cancer has shrunk! She repeated several times that
there has been significant shrinkage. On the report we can see a lot less inflammation
and redness in his esophagus which we are so excited about and the tumor size
is so much smaller. On Monday, the board of surgeons and oncologists will
review my dad’s case and then on Tuesday my dad will meet the surgeon, and
discuss the details of surgery.
Thank you very much for praying with us. May you
experience the love of our Lord in this week.
Love
Rossouw-clan
