Excitement is Mounting

Wow! What a fun journey God has us on. Excitement is mounting as we move closer and closer to our departure date. We don't want to miss out on any of what God is doing in Cambodia. He is really at work and we can't wait to join Him. Along that line we are asking each of you reading this if you would join us in praying specifically for God's provision. I copied text from an email I sent which will explain a little better:

Hello again from the Ohlin's. A very humble and appreciative thank you to each of you for your prayer and financial support of where God is leading our family. We are so thankful for each and every one of you who is joining us on this journey. I wanted to update you on where we are at currently and let you know what we as a family are up to this week. First, we are right about 50% of our monthly pledged gifts (which we are so thankful for). However, we really feel like God is calling us to be over in Cambodia by July 31 and in order for that to happen we need to be at 100%. A big task for us but pocket change for our God. With that in mind, we would like to ask each of you to join our family in praying specifically for God to provide for our needs so that we can make it to Cambodia in 33 days (by July 31). The 6 of us are bringing this request specifically to God and trusting in His provision. He has been beyond faithful so far and we are confident He will contiue to be. A few of the verses we are reading as we bring this request to God are:

Mt. 18:19-20 : “Again I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them. “


Eph. 2:8-10 : “For it is by grace you have been saved through faith—and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”


Jer 29:11-13 : ”’For I know the plans I have for you’, declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.’”

Thank you so much for joining us in this. We look forward to reporting back about God's faithfulness and provision. Again we appreciate all of you. God Bless!


Thanks for reading. We will report back.
