Missionaries:

Below is the missionaries Forest Hills Church supports

Central Asia

10/17/23 Update:
  • Bible Study: Leaders at our local church asked us to open more inductive Bible study groups. We are now teaching 5 courses in two languages. What a change from just 6 months ago! Please pray for an assistant to help teach in the second language. We feels much more confident in one language, yet our desire is to clearly communicate these study skills to both groups.
  • Book Club: While studying Gulliver’s Travels last week, Our students asked us, “What would you say is the good life? What is your purpose in life?” We were able to share the gospel and explain His purpose for living!
  • Pray for these students searching for truth and community. Pray God would fully reveal Himself to them.
 “Tim and Kristina Lewis” (alias names) family, serving in central Asia. We cannot provide their real names, as it is illegal to be a Christian missionary in the area they are serving. It is illegal to be Christian missionaries in Central Asia, so we are unable to reveal their pictures.
 
Tim and Kristina are husband and wife, and have four children. Their missions work includes providing education and discipleship among the unreached in central Asia. They work through World Venture, and they have been working in Cental Asia for 11 years.
 
Most of their work is done in their home, as they open it to their neighbors for meals and discussion that leads to talk about the message of Jesus.
 
Their desire is to see God establish and grow his church in central Asia, by changing how people see Jesus Christ. Their long term mission is to see Central Asian families transformed by Christ into having a biblical worldview that changes not only their own lives, but society as well.
 
If you would like to help support Tim and Kristina financially, you can give or sign up to be a monthly sponsor through their website here, or at World Venture, instructions below. 
 
Emails can be sent to the family at someday@freckletune.net

Honduras 

9/15/23 – update
  • We were honored to march alongside our Lucy’s Libros students in this year’s parade. Here, Steve poses with one of the students being honored for academic excellence.
  • This year, we purchased appreciation gifts for 20 teachers who support our ministries and our students.
  • From the appreciation of both students and teachers alike to the spectacle of patriotic community celebrations, Sept. in Honduras is a vibrant reminder of the spirit and resilience of its people. We are blessed to represent Christ anywhere, but we are delighted that we get to work alongside Him in beautiful Honduras!
Team Solheim in Honduras is the husband and wife team of Steve and Kelly. They lead a team of passionate Christ-followers. Made up of prayer warriors, church partners and supporters from all over the world, Team Solheim is a powerful force. And together we are discipling a new generation of leaders to shape the nation of Honduras for the glory of God.
 
The Lord took our love for board games and gave us a unique way to build relationships with young people. Now when we play checkers, we’re encouraging a young man to stay in school. When we play Jenga, we’re teaching a youth leader to listen to a teenager in crisis. And when we play Yahtzee, we’re helping a family come together after a tragedy.
​
Serving with World Gospel Mission in La Esperanza, Honduras, we’re working with churches, Christian leaders and young people to change the way we think about relationship, creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership and resource management―a biblical worldview that will transform hearts and communities for the Kingdom of God.
 
If you would like to help support Steve and Kelly financially, you can give or sign up to be a monthly sponsor through their website here.

Your gift will go directly to the Solhiems here.
