Good evening all your beautiful people
Thank you very much for praying with us for our
outreach into the jungle. We really could feel it. This trip turned out to be a
big breakthrough for us despite all the problems we encountered. It felt to me
that we were under a lot of attacks in order to stop the team to reach the
people and sharing the love of Christ with them. We had to remind ourselves that
we just needed to press on and God would do the rest, which paid off.
A trip that started at 8 am dragged on till 10 pm when
we reached Rum Jopon. We had lunch/dinner at 11.30 pm. A new record was set for
late lunch. We decided not to continue to our usual sleeping place as it was so
late and bikes and people were tired. The next morning everyone came and we had
a great time giving medicines and mosquito nets and off course sweets for the
children. Curtis and Din did a great job sharing God’s presence with the
people. This turned out to be an amazing time with people ready to hear the
Gospel. We took an escape route out of the jungle and could enjoy the beauty of
the jungle on the way.
Now!! Two days later Din and his cousin went to Rum
Jopon again and started a small bible study group. He taught them about the
structure of the Bible and why there is an Old and New Testament and taught
them 3 songs from the purple hymnal book. Everyone was happy and he will try
and go there every Saturday. This is something we already prayed for 15 years
to happen and now the time is right, praise God. Pray for Din as he is struggling
to raise money for an operation for his father-in-law who is seriously ill in
the hospital. They are fighting for his life. Getting ill here makes people
even more poor than they can afford.
Toinette is with her mum and she is doing well. They
are now busy working on a schedule for treatment for Ouma. Pray that Ouma will
get strength in the days to come.
Continue to pray for our friend Etienne Minnaar as he
struggles with chemotherapy.
Thank you for praying and even reading this letter.
May this week be a great week for you all.
Love
Rossouw-clan
