Good evening
Thank you to all of you who reached out to Twans and
her family during this time. Ouma Paula has been our most faithful supporter
all these years, always checking how we are doing in our relationship with the
Lord and encouraging us when times are difficult. We read one of Ouma Paula's
testimonies this week, and it made us smile. She became a widow before she was
50 yrs old. She wrote how scared she was to come and visit us in the
Philippines those years. This was her first trip overseas. "I was scared,
scared, I felt like I could not do it. But if you are a child of God, don't say
I can't do it, because God said Go."
She packed an ice cream tub full of raw beef kebabs in their marinating
sauce plus raw boerewors (sausage). This of course, did not help for the
nerves. In Manila, security checked all her luggage before she could board the
plane to Davao. She realized she had made a huge mistake packing raw meat and
imagined jail sentences. When her turn came to be searched, she prayed
"Lord, please help me. I am sure You also want Mordegai and Toinette to
eat these delicious kebabs". The security searched everything and when she
reached the ice-cream tub, she stopped, looked up and said "Have a good
day mam".
Twans is asking for prayer for the River of Life Fellowship.
4 more Teenagers will be baptized the end of the month. Please pray for them.
This is a big decision. Praise God for
these precious kids professing their faith in Jesus. Also pray for the faithful
staff sharing the Word of God to them, discipline them every Saturday and
Sunday. We also ask for prayer for 2 of our Filipino staff who need to exit the
country for at least 2 months due to visa difficulties. Please pray for
provision and favor for them in this time. To trust God's plan and guidance.
Thank you all for praying with us.
Love
Rossouw-clan
