FAREWELL BUT NOT GOODBYE







My world got just a little smaller this week as I learned of the passing of Dave Ohlerking on Wednesday in Johannesburg, South Africa. Pop was my hero. I used to tell him this quite regularly, much to his embarrassment. He was one of the most humble, Godly men I have ever had the opportunity to share life with. From his days of working in missions with Jimmy Swaggert to the founding of Childrens Cup with wife Jean, Pop ALWAYS exemplified what it means to be like Jesus. My heart hurts to know that we will never get to share a Diet Coke again on this side but rejoices in the truth that he is in the loving arms of Jesus and we will meet again. Here are a couple pics of my hero as well as a few of the children whom he touched through his work in Africa and around the world that I have been blessed to witness first hand each and every day. I have heard the word “thousands” used but I know in my heart that Pop touched literally millions of lives in his time here on Earth. Thank you Dave Ohlerking for your selfless comittment to spread the love of Jesus across the planet. Farewell my friend but not goodbye. We will meet again. I love you and miss you
