DAY #7 - JEAN OHLERKING
Jean Ohlerking is “Meemaw” to hundreds if not thousands of children all over. She has an overwhelming passion to simply love the kids who Children’s Cup cares for in southern Africa. Holding babies in her arms, she sings to them, rocks them, and gives them a very real picture of the love of Jesus, just as she did for her four children (one of whom is Susan Rodgers - serving as a Children’s Cup missionary with her husband Ben). Please pray for Jean’s continued good health and protection as she and Dave “go everywhere and tell everybody” about the hope that only Jesus gives. And pray that each child she holds will soon come to a saving knowledge of Jesus, and sing with her one day, “Thank you Lord, for saving my soul....”
- Jesus, thank You for my mom. thanks for the way she used to spend time with us at night tucking us in, singing to us, praying for us, quoting scripture to us, and pouring truth and love into our souls when my sister and brothers and i were kids.
now i get to pray for her. i pray that You will continue to enable her to communicate Your love to these children by holding them, signing to them, and giving them scripture. Your word will always make a difference when it is shared.
bless her, Lord - with insight, wisdom, protection, physical health, and many many more opportunities to hug and sing to the children in the broken places of the world, and to share the love that runs so deep through her to the children who need hope so desperately. populate Heaven with people who saw You in her.
