Oregon Coast

Over the last 10 or more years, I have been going to Alaska for the summer.  This year is different.  I had hoped to be in Guatemala by the middle / end of summer.  As a result, I stayed in the Washington area.  One of my home churches holds a “family camp” at the Oregon Coast near Fort Stevens.  For the last few years I’ve heard all about it.  This year, I have the opportunity to attend.

While I don’t have any camping gear, I do know people who are willing to provide.  I think I’ll call it a working vacation.  For at least a couple days I still have work to do – and people to visit.  Pray for opportunities to share.  May God bless this trip.

Oh the exciting part:  I will be able to make memories with family!  This will be something I cherish when I get to Guatemala and not see them for a while.

Keep checking back for pictures :)

 

Will You Help Me Go?

I am very close to having enough support to go to Gatemala.

This is a cry for help!

I need 20 more people to send in financial support to OC International before I can leave.

How does this work?

God has called me to work full-time in Guatemala to help the local churches grow and expand.  Who pays my salary?  You do.

By sending in an amount to One Challenge (OCI) consistently, you along with 40 other individuals will provide the funds necessary to live in Guatemala, communicate with you and my prayer partners, and minister to the local people.

The money that has been given so far is accumulating to cover first-time expenses like language study and moving expenses.

Some have chosen to begin their giving at the time I leave.  They have informed me of this decision – and I can count that towards my pledges.   However, I can’t count a pledge I don’t know about.  If you would like to begin your support the month that I leave, please let me know now.  Until I can show headquarters that I am fully supported (100% of $3500), I can not purchase a ticket.

I am confident that God is sending me to Guatemala:  is HE asking you to help me?

This is as bold as I will ever get.  I’m so close I can “feel the breeze”.  Please, if God is moving in you to support me, send me an e-mail: hildereimer@oci.org  and let me know if you can pledge to give consistently.  It can be once a year, once a month or every two months; it is the consistency that counts.

Don’t know how long you can give?  That’s okay – make the first step and trust God to provide you with the funds for however long HE provides.

Many of my friends want to support financially, but can not because of the economy.  They can help in two ways: Pray that GOD would provide the financial partners (or provide them with the funds), and tell their friends about me.  Can you be my champion?  Will you be willing to fight for me: to ask others if they can give consistently or pray consistently?

The Spiritual Battle is strong:  I can feel it.  Some are praying, but my strength is weak.  I am fighting a cold that historically hangs around for up to a month!  And while I am encouraged with new prayer partners joining every day: I am dancing like a horse that is ready to run.  I do want to go.  I just don’t know who to call or what to do next.  Can you help?  Please Pray for this Post, pray for my health, pray for boldness, pray for GOD to move people, and people to move in response to GOD.  It is GOD’s work that I will be joining; HIS ministry that HE has given to me for this time.
