DESCRIPTION
Testimonies of God's faithfulness in Peru in September 2012TRANSCRIPT
Hi there!
Jaime and I have some exciting news!!!! God has
added a new addition to our family. I am now 9 weeks
pregnant and we are both so happy and excited for
this new season of our lives.
We have had a few challenges though. When I went
for my first scan the doctor discovered that there was
a small haematoma next to the uterus. This could
potentially cause a miscarriage, especially in the first few weeks of pregnancy. Thankfully
the haematoma was quite small, but all the same the doctor advised that I take it easy this month and put me on bed rest for 4 weeks.
Consequently I have spent virtually the whole of September at home and have not been
able to participate in my usual ministry activities. At first I was quite worried about having
to spend so much time “doing nothing”, but I have been amazed at how God has given
me the grace to rest (which for me is not normally that easy). It has actually turned out to
be a very special time and I am thankful for having had the extra time to reflect and
pray in this special new season.
God has also been so good in that He has provided people to carry all the ministry
responsibilities that I have not been able to
shoulder this month. He truly is a faithful God.
Yesterday we had our latest scan and praise
God all is well! This Wednesday I will be flying to
Cape Town to spend 3 weeks with my family.
Jaime will be joining me for 2 of those weeks.
For those of you who are in Cape Town, I really
pray that I can get a chance to see you while I
am there.
So much love, Kim
Saints in Cells... God has absolutely blown my mind with His faithfulness this month!!!!
As I mentioned, due to doctor’s orders, I have been unable to go into visit the ladies in
prison. But yet God has provided people to look after these precious women. Although
we do not normally recommend that a person goes in on their own to minister, Pam felt that God laid it on her heart to continue ministering in Fatima even though I wasn’t there.
She has been going in faithfully each week, which means so much to the ladies.
And then, the very week that I was no longer able to go into Santa Monica, Anita Lamont
(the wife of the Pastor of a local English speaking congregation), received permission to
go and minister to the girls there. She has faithfully taken over the leadership of the Bible
Studies at this time. We are also blessed to have
permission for two of the pastors who support us, Dennis
and Angus, to go in and minister to the girls on
consecutive Thursdays. It is so clear to me how much God loves these ladies in prison and makes a way for
them to receive from His Word every time.
Bronwyn is a young Australian lady who attends our Bible
study in Santa Monica each week. Recently an Australian TV channel did a documentary on her story. I
thought I would share it with you as it gives some good
insight into the difficult realities that these girls face each
day. You can find the documentary “Australia’s
Unknown Schapelle” by clicking on the link below… h t t p : / / a u . n e w s . y a h o o . c o m / v i d e o / w a t c h /

Fe en Fe en Accion...
Faith In Action has expanded to the province of Ayacucho!!! The hot-bed of the Shining Path terrorist movement in the 1980’s and 90’s, Ayacucho is a province characterised by
poverty and the pain that often lingers after having suffered much violence. The actual
word “Ayacucho” is a quechua word which means “The place of the dead”.
Yet God is doing something new in Ayacucho. Last month the World Vision team started
the “Fe en Accion” programme with 48 youth from various churches in the city, including
both Catholic and Protestant churches. This is something very new. How awesome it is to
see young people unite around the common cause of seeing God’s Kingdom
transformation come to their communities.
In October, Jaime has been invited to travel to Ayacucho to
teach one of the “Fe en Accion” Sessions. He will be away
from the 5th—9th October. Please pray that God will keep
him safe in his journey and that God will work through him to
inspire, equip and minister to this group of young community
transformers.
Trip to South Africa...
.
One of the things that I am often so aware of, is how difficult it is for me to express my
gratitude to all those who partner with us in the work that God has called us to here in
Peru. On the afternoon of Sunday 7th October, I will be having a special “Thank you Tea”
for all of our ministry partners. If you are in Cape Town, I really pray that you will be able
to make it. It will be a time in which I am able to share in more detail about the work we
are involved in. At the back of this newsletter you will find the invitation with more details.
If you can’t make it to the tea and are in Cape Town, I will be giving a ministry report in
each of the His People Baxter services on Sunday 14th of October. I have also been
asked to preach at the 11am service at the Baxter on that Sunday.
I am so aware that our time in South Africa is short, I really pray that I will be able to see
you and above all honour you for all that you do to make our ministry possible.
Richest blessings, Jaime and Kim
Please pray... Please keep me in prayer as I travel on Wednesday 3rd October. It is a 29 hour trip
and being 10 weeks pregnant, I am praying that God will give me lots of favour and
keep me safe wherever I go.
Please pray for Jaime as he travels to teach in Ayacucho and then leaves for South
Africa on the 12th October.
Please keep the girls in the prisons in your prayers. It is going to be challenging
month, as both Pam and I are going to be away for a while.
Please continue to pray for my mother-in-law. After 6 weeks, she is still in hospital
and they have yet to give her a full diagnosis of what is wrong. Trust with us for
supernatural healing
