Just finished another set of swings for another refugee camp. When they heard we made ones for the previous place they asked for them as well. I will go again with Isaack on Friday and a small team to give the children something to do. Please pray for safe travelling there and a fruitful time with the children as well as the Head of the camp. Isaack build long time relationship with them over these uncertain days. This border situation is just dragging its feet and we can only hope things will go away but then we know better to rather stay positive and help the people in the meantime. Isaack is doing a lot of fundraising to feed the refugees as there are still a lot of families hoping to return home. Pray for this situation.
The Acts program held a Mother’s Day program for the
students and their mothers last Tuesday morning. Everyone took part, 2 students
did a small speech to thank all the mothers, or let me rather say only 1
student did a speech, the other one cried too much and just got a “Thank You” out.
One mother shared how much her son had changed in his character since he joined
the Acts program and also the Children’s program on Sundays. The special part
was when the children washed their mothers ‘feet and then read a card to them
that they wrote earlier. There were a lot of smiles and tears. Afterwards, it
was so special to see mothers holding the children’s hands or embracing them.
The Children’s
program on Sundays also invited the mothers for a special program on Sunday
morning. Please pray for all the seeds planted, especially on Sunday, to grow.
Twans shared in the afternoon service from Isiah 49:15 and it was encouraging
to hear some of the mothers in the church share afterwards. One shared that her
husband doesn’t love her, he chases her away and only want her near if he want
money but she knows God loves her, she is His child and He will never forget
her.
We also ask your prayer for Anton. He has to apply for
an internship for the last trimester of his studies. Please pray for direction
and favor. He’s been sick the past week and are now on antibiotics. Please pray
for healing and restoration for him.
Thank you very much once again for praying with us. To
all the Namibians: Please enjoy the rain!! I am so jealous that we cannot be
there as this is a very special time of the year when it rains.
Love
Rossouw-clan
