Hi there
The days are just flying by as Jaime and I prepare for our move to Cusco. It
seems that there is an endless list of things that we need to do, but thankfully
we are getting through them all slowly but surely.
Many friends have asked me how I feel about moving to a more rural part of
Peru and away from our friends and family here in Lima. To be honest, I am
trying not to think too deeply about it at the moment and am rather
focussing on everything that needs to be done. I think it might be too much for me otherwise. This move is a
step of faith and obedience and both Jaime and I are convinced that it is where God would have us be in
this next season. With that in mind, we go confidently. We know that it is probably going to be quite tough,
but at the same time, we also know that God is going to be with us and that He is faithful to His promises.
Thank you so much for being a part of and for helping to make possible this great faith adventure. We would
not be able to do it without you!
Much love, Kim
On the 7th of April we celebrated the first birthday of our precious
son, Kai Mateo. We thank God that Kai is healthy and strong and are
constantly amazed by the joy that he brings to our lives each day.
We also thank God for you and for the support that you have given
our family in this past year. Jaime and I are so aware that had it not
been for your faithfulness and generosity we would not have been
able to provide for Kai as we have, nor would we have had the time
to lay the relational foundations
that are so important in his little life.
Thank you for the difference that
you make in our lives.
Kai’s first birthday….

Praise God! It seems we have land!!! Thank you so much for
standing with us in prayer that we would find land upon which to
build our greenhouse and to start the blueberry project. God
has granted us more than we could have asked for.
Last week Jaime returned from a very successful trip to Cusco
with Jose Luis and Rosendo to see whether there was any land
close to the lakes that was available for us to buy. Initially they
were a little discouraged as almost all the land in the area
belongs to the community as a whole and as a result it is not for
sale. However Jaime and Rosendo were given the chance to
present the project to the presidents of two local villages to see
whether they might be willing to lease it to us.
Because of the great mineral wealth in the area, there is a great
mistrust of any outsiders who want to move in to the area and so
we were somewhat doubtful as to whether they would be willing
to consider the project. But God was faithful and both presidents
were very interested. After hearing of our desire to use the
project to bring blessing to their communities, they said that they
would be willing to allow us to use the land free of charge for the
next 10 years and then, depending on the success of the
project, they will renew the contract.
The land we hope to use is just under a hectare and is 2km from
the lakes. It has also recently been ploughed, so it is ready for
sowing, which is a great blessing.
In the next few weeks Jaime will be travelling to meet with the
rest of the community leaders to get their approval to use the
land. Please trust with us that we will once again find favour with
the community and that they will sign the contract for our lease
of the property.
Renova….

This month I would like to ask to you to trust with us for something very specific… Favour!
Please pray that God will grant both Jaime and me supernatural favour in two main areas...
My application for Peruvian Nationality:
I am becoming a Peruvian! Last week I handed in all the
documents required by immigration in order to obtain Peruvian
nationality. However, on the 16th of May I have to write an exam
on Peruvian history and culture. Although it is only a 20 point
exam, I have a vast amount of information that I have to study.
Please trust with me that I will study the correct information, that
God will help me to remember what I have studied and that He
will give me peace when I go to write the exam. Please also pray that I will find favour with the
authorities at immigrations and that my application will be approved.
Favour with the community leaders in Yanaoca:
Later this month Jaime is going to be returning to Cusco to formalise the lease of the land on
which we will be building our greenhouse. Please pray that God will give him favour with the
community leaders and that he will explain the project in such a way that they can understand
our desire to bring blessing to their community. Please also trust with us that they will be willing
to extend the initial lease from a 10 to a 15 year period.
Thank you so much for your prayers! It is such a
privilege for us to have such a faithful team supporting
us in the ministry that God has called us to here in
Peru.
Please keep us in your prayers….
