Saludos from south of the border!

The current global financial crisis has affected every industrialized country in the world. Many have lost a good percentage of their savings and some have lost their jobs and have for the first time joined the ranks of the unemployed.

While the "world" is busy trying to hang on to what they have or as my dad says: "Get all they can and can all they get!", I want to remind you that there is NO unemployment on the mission field!

Everywhere I go visiting our missionaries, I always hear the same request... "Send us more workers!"  But don't just take my word on the subject. Two thousand years ago, Jesus told us what we are to pray for, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into his harvest" (Matthew 9:39). While the lack of workers seems to be a timeless spiritual truth, it should not discourage us from continuing to pray and ask God to send out more workers today to the world's least reached..

Jan and I have given our lives to "asking for", preparing, sending out and giving pastoral care of workers into God's harvest and are excited to see new workers being sent out on nearly a monthly basis. We don't ever anticipate being unemployed and are thankful for your continued prayers and support on our behalf. There is no unemployment on the mission field!

We thank you for your prayers and support for our personal and ministry challenges this year.
 

For the extension of His Kingdom,

Kerry & Janyce Olson
