Medical to the remote

This Blog is all about the work of God. Nothing we do is without the knowledge of our Father. He is the soul provider for everything we do.
We are Mordegai, Toinette, Suzaan, Gideon, and Anton Rossouw from Namibia-Africa. . This Blog is all about our lives here in Cambodia while Suzaan works in South Africa. We are real Farmers from Africa and we love life and what it has to offer and enjoy it day by day.

Mordegai travels to remote villages, doing much needed medical work , where no other doctors go, with local pastors.

Gideon is no longer with us but Anton will finish this year with Grade 12. .Toinette joins FGC Community Link Cambodia to the villages close by, teaching local children in an after school setting and also women about Health Issues in a village setting.

We consider us Asians as we live such a long time in Asia, eating rice as a staple food and not meat......

Our motto in life comes from a dear friend:

With common sense and God we
can accomplish a lot

Monday night prayers 25 March 2024

 


Good evening

Today was a hot, dusty, and sweaty day in my office. Cleaning wood and building stuff inside a metal box is not as cool as it seems. Poor Toinette comes home at 4 pm, exhausted and dehydrated from all the sweat in the village. Sang and Toinette are busy teaching the children how to clean the environment around them and use a dustbin. They made it from bamboo and rice bags, took the children to clean around, and showed the need to put garbage away. Now the children want to go and build this at their homes as well. We pray that they can learn something from this as people here do not care where they throw their garbage.



Anton is starting to feel the pressure of the upcoming exam. He needs to go through a lot of work in these 2 months as he will take his final exam in May. We are also looking into alternatives if the Malaysian university is a no-go. Visas are always a big thing, please pray that we can get his passport stuff for the student visa.

It’s kind of hard to think that this last Sunday was Palm Sunday where people welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem just to turn around in 5 days and crucify Him on a cross. What happened?? Let this week sink into us as we think about these events and how lucky we are today. Some of you do not know what happens in Cambodia on Easter. Khmer New Year is just around the corner and most people are gearing up for that.

What is Easter like in Cambodia? Easter in Cambodia is a solemn religious holiday, rather than a big commercialized celebration like in Western countries. About 90% of Cambodians are Buddhist, so Easter is mainly observed by the Christian minority. During Holy Week leading up to Easter, Christians attend special church services and some businesses may be closed on Good Friday. On Easter Sunday, Christians attend church services to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. After church, families may gather for a special Easter meal of food like fruit salad, meat, soup, and rice. https://arisecambodia.com/easter-in-cambodia-everything-you-need-to-know/

Let’s pray for the Cambodian Christians as they celebrate Easter and that they will reach out to their neighbors with love and compassion. I think the Khmer people are ready for the true Word of God. Pray for workers of God, all around the world, to reach out to local people with a fresh zeal and love of Jesus.

Have a blessed Easter holiday wherever you are.

Love
