Sjoe, what a week this was. Anton came to visit for a week only and that made our hearts so happy, like they say in Afrikaans:” Die Kaap is weer Hollands.”” The bad part is that he is leaving again late this afternoon. Well now our “” small boy”” need to go and do an internship as part of his last trimester. After 12 weeks he will be finish with his Diploma. It is another new milestone for him in his future.
Sonny and Angela came and visit the NGO and on Friday
night we had a grand affair where we officially closed FGC Community Link and
started Good Shepherd Ministry, although its running for a while but any excuse
for a party. What a nice night we had. Great Khmer food and even better fellowship
with all the staff. It makes us oldies proud to see these youngsters standing
up and leading the way forward.
Then on Saturday some students decided to get baptized
and it was a big celebration again to see these youngsters giving their lives
to the Lord. Sonny and Moun did the honors and afterwards they enjoyed swimming
and eating. These guys know how to party that’s for sure.
On Sunday there was a combined children’s ministry and
then a big celebration again. Three couples that got married did not had a
Christian celebration yet and they got re-married in the church under the
watchful eyes of the Lord. Ps. Chai did the honors and Sonny gave a message
afterwards. Now 2 of the couples had babies already and it was a proud moment
for us all. Off course grandpa and grandma had to take care of babies, love
them soooo much. Off course we had a great feast afterwards.
What a festive time we had this weekend and are
looking forward to the rest of the year as the local staff need to step up and
continue the work, time for the oldies to stand back and let the youngsters
lead. Please pray for this NGO to be faithful in doing God’s work.
Please continue to pray for the Warrens as 2 of them
end up with Dengue fever. Kristen is still in hospital and Abraham at home. We
know that this illness does not leave you for 2 weeks at least.
Ria is resting at Donny’s house and will go to another
hospital for a 2nd opinion this week. Please pray that the doctors
will make the right decision and convince them to listen this time.
Love you all
Rossouw-clan
