How You Can Help

How You Can Help

"Consider Being a Part of Our Team"

Dear Friends and Family,

We are getting married!  We are so excited to see what God is going to do.  Along with getting married comes my responsibility to build up our financial support base as a new family.  We need you, our family and friends, to help us share the gospel with the people around the world and in our own community here on Long Island.  

"What are you asking?" may be what you are thinking.  We are looking for monthly supporters to give financially monthly, yearly, one time, or when ever.  Our goal is $1500/month.  We are currently have an income of about $800/month, but at times this is not consistent.  You can help with only $10 monthly to $100 or more monthly.  We are not asking for you to give what you do not have, we want you to give an amount that you feel God is asking you to give.  One way we can reach our goal and exceed it, is if we get 30 people to give $30 monthly!

"How do I do this?" may be the next question.  Well, first you can click the link above the picture that says "Partner With Us", you will find all the information there. Second, you can Email me(John at johnolovesyou@gmail.com) and ask me questions.  I want to be in communication with you and make it as easy as possible to do this.  Your donation is tax deductible for all you Americans!

"What do you need?" may be another question.  That is a very good question.  We need to book our honeymoon!!  We want to go to an all-inclusive resort on the beach in the Caribbean.  We need $2,000 to go on this adventure. We want to do something like this at least once in our lives.  Pray and consider how you can help on this adventure.  Also, see www.honeyfund.com to see how you can help us.

Thank YOU.  

Please email me(johnolovesyou@gmail.com) if you have any questions.  Do not hesitate.  

God calls us to be joyful givers.  Give joyfully.  Roberta and I are not asking you to give more than you can handle.  We are asking you to help in what you can.  We want you to join our us as a team to help spread the Kingdom of God by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the world and our community.  Thank You again for reading.

Your Friend,

John Olin

Successful trip to OHIO

Recently, Roberta and I had taken a trip to Ohio to work on a community center in the process of being renovated in a lower income neighborhood of Canton, OH. It is an old middle school that was bought by a ministry called ChildReach for a dollar. Check out where we were and investing in. We participated for 2 weeks in preparing for the Community Outreach of Love.  We spent a lot of time helping clean, organize, paint, and water a brand new community garden. We saw God do amazing things and were so excited to be apart of what is happening there!

Wedding Prep

We are in a two month whirlwind with wedding preparations! Roberta will be flying to California, July 21st, and we feel like the days are flying by. Stress levels are rising, but we are trusting that God has a perfect plan for our special day. A lot of the major things have been solidified but we still have some details to pull together. Roberta will tell you, planning a wedding 3,000 miles away is not an easy thing to do! She always jokes with me “ remind me never to get married again, it’s so much work!”


We need Wedding HELP!

There are 2 things we really need help with! We need to solidify the honeymoon and the rent for the apartment for where we will have our first home be in NY.

  • Please be praying for us as we are being challenged with trusting God with the finances & provision of the apartment. 
  • Pray for us as we are going through the process of picking the location of our honeymoon.  Our budget is around $2,000.  We want an all-inclusive beach resort somewhere in the Caribbean.  You can give directly to this through www.honeyfund.com

Please be praying for us and if you feel financially led to give. We have online donations available through our honeyfund and also our paypal.
