Back On The West Coast

Roberta and I are back on the west coast! Currently, we are in California visiting her family before moving, for the summer, to the Bellingham, WA area. Since our last newsletter/update, God has provided a car, a job, and possible places to live. We are very excited to get our lives settled in that area for a couple months until we travel to Cambodia. This summer we are planning to meet with our current supporters, raise new financial support, and spend quality time with our family. This summer is going to be a summer of rest and preparing for our time in Cambodia.

If you did not know already, we are going to be moving to Cambodia for a minimum of 9 months to study the Bible through a Bible course in Youth with A Mission there, as well as working with ministries in the area teaching english and the Bible. The course is called the School of Biblical Studies, you can find out more info here: www.uofnbattambang.com. The course is a 9 month course where Roberta and I will study the Bible in depth through the inductive Bible study method. By the end of the school we will have highlighted the Bible entirely and read through it at least 5 times. The ultimate goal of taking this course is for Roberta and I to have a solid Biblical foundation for our ministry, life, and jobs in the future.  We both feel that the American culture is in search of truth and we feel that the best way to show that truth is by knowing it in depth. We want to see the lives of anyone we are in contact with transformed by the Spirit of God through a Biblical foundation in our lives.

We want to meet with YOU.  If you live in the Northwest Washington area please send us an email. We want to see you and hang out with you whether you support us or not. You can email us at: johnroberta.olin@gmail.com.
