OLSON MINISTRY UPDATE: SPRING 2013
AKERRYJANPYRAMIDS
MOBILIZING THE HISPANIC CHURCH TO FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION FROM THE WORLD'S LARGEST CITY
THE MISSION FIELD: 
A GREAT PLACE TO FIND YOUR OTHER HALF!

Over the years we have had a number of our Mexican missionaries meet their "other half" or as we say in Spanish,       "find their other half of the orange". 
 
We have seen Mexicans find their spouses from the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Spain, Ecuatorial Guinea, Congo, England, France and now Germany.
IngoMartha
Ingo (Germany) and Martha married this past month in northern Germany where they serve with Betel.
SergioLola
Sergio (Spain) and Lola (North Africa). 
Recently two of Mexican students met each other for the first time while on vacation visiting our missionaries in France. Both are from our church, Amistad Cristiana and are graduates of CNM (Christ for the Nations Mexico). Each studied at the missions school of CNM, but had  never met !
 
Please pray for both Sergio and Lola as they return soon to the field, as well as begin preparations for marriage in 2014 and a church planting ministry together.
 
ONE MORE WORKER TO THE FIELD!
Maribel
Maribel serving in Central Asia.
After serving a three year internship in a country where Europe ends and Asia begins, Maribel returns later this month for full-time service.
 
Maribel is from a church south of Mexico City. We have an alliance with her church and ours to send, support and give her pastoral care. 
 
Please pray for her and additional team members to join her in this very needy country.

Greetings!

Resurrection greetings from Mexico City!

 

So far this year we have been traveling far less than normal, although that will change with our upcoming furlough scheduled for the months of June and July. We are looking forward to seeing many of our family and friends on both coasts, as well as in the Minneapolis area the latter half of July.

 

We will make a quick trip up the Dallas next month to be with Jonathan as he graduates from Christ for the Nations.

 

Please pray for us as we prepare for an important furlough time, as we need to raise additional financial support, as well as work on a number of future ministry projects. We look forward to touching base with many of you. Feel free to contact us directly (See contact information below). 

 

For the extension of His kingdom,
