November News Letter!

Olson’s Opportunities  November, 2016

Dear friends,

Pretend that we are visiting you via Skype to report to you, our ministry partners. Please forgive our delay in giving you this good news--God is at work!

First, He is at work in us. 1 Thess 5:18 says best what we desire and are sharing in His prison ministry: “In everything give thanks”/ “Den gracias en todo”

As we studied through Ephesians in our personal devotions together, we saw that God has given us SO much to be grateful for IN CHRIST, yet we can only BE thankful through the help of the Holy Spirit. God is at work in inmates who want to follow Christ and learn to give thanks no matter what the situation. Listen to their testimonies--

“I know that God is working in me...I have hope in Jesus and you have told me this-  ‘Don’t give up.’ ” A.C.

“I am not living as I did before.” J.V.

“Thank you for always coming to fellowship with the captives.” J.C.

“Your love for the Lord is inspirational in many ways.” M.E.

“Thank you very much for taking the time to write me...God doesn’t abandon me and will not abandon me, I have confidence in Him.” E.P.

Thank you for praying for spiritual growth in our children and grandchildren:

Bridget, Scott, Taylor & Brandon: Wisdom in time commitments & unity.

Matt, Shawn, Brady & Morgan: God’s blessing on family, Brady: College choice.

Sarah & Mike: Nov 21 Sarah finished her doctorate in Nursing Practice! Mike: Wisdom at work.

Josh: Healing after shoulder surgery, he moved recently and returns to the firehouse mid-Dec.

We sincerely thank God for you and your faithful partnership to keep us in prison.

In Jesus, Carl and Kathy
