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 9 September 2024

 


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.





There were 15 of us from the US who joined us as a team. Before we even reached the jungle we had to start doing repairs on some bikes. Time went by quickly as the road was difficult and mechanical problems were rampant. Two times I had to dig deep into the mud to look for my shoes that was stuck, hmm crocs get lost easily. We stopped at our usual places to give medicines and mosquito nets and Curtis and Din could preach to the people. We felt rushed as dark was looming and the weather was bad. Halfway the darkness came and we struggled up the mountain. By this time 2 big bikes were out of action and had to be pulled along in the dark. This really was a test of perseverance for the team and they did great.





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
