Therefore Go…

Testimonies from February 2013

Hello there

As I sit here and write my newsletter our little boy is

bouncing around in my tummy and making it quite hard

to focus on anything else It really is quite impossible to

comprehend that a whole new life has been created

and it getting ready to make his appearance to the

world. What a miracle and what a blessing!

It has also been absolutely amazing to me to see what joy this little life has already

brought to so many people. The ladies in prison have been really taken with watching

him grow and he has brought them much hope in the midst of very difficult

circumstances. I really pray that this will be just a small taste of the blessing he will be

to many many people as he grows up.

Much of our time is now being spent getting ready for his arrival, painting his room

and buying the necessary baby things. Thank you so much for making this possible for

us. Not only does your generosity make our ministry possible, but it also provides for us

as a family. We really do thank God for you and pray that you will be blessed

knowing the important part you are playing in helping us prepare for the arrival of our

son. May God honour and bless you!!!

Much love, Kim

Just 11 days to go until Vision Fest 2013!!! Vision Fest is a Christian music concert

hosted by World Vision and which aims at uniting and mobilising Christian youth from

across Lima in the cause of the protection of children and adolescents. This project

falls under Jaime’s department and as a result he is responsible for organising the

event.

Last year we managed to rally over 700 youth and this year

we are trusting for over 2000! It is an incredible opportunity for young people to become aware of and get involved in

various service projects in their communities.

The last few weeks have been very busy, but God has blessed

Jaime with a great team. It has also been a blessing to have

the support of many of the young people from Fe en Accion.

Below are some of the photos of us preparing the flyer for the

event and from a Christian concert where we were able to

hand out the flyers.

Please keep Jaime and his team in

your prayers and trust with us that

the event will be a great success.

Vision Fest 2013...

Thank you so much for praying for the work that we are doing in the children’s

libraries. I cannot even begin to describe the difference it has made to have the

teams from Fe en Accion serving in the libraries each week, especially now that my

tummy is getting bigger and I get a bit more tired. Together we have managed to do

a number of really lovely activities and it is wonderful to see how the little ones

respond to the one on one attention provided by those in our team.

What perhaps is even more exciting for me is that the team will continue to visit the

library even after I am on maternity leave. This is so important as Señora Leonor and

Señor Rios really do need the support.

However, I would like to ask you to please pray for the

safety of the team going to the Simon Bolivar library.

Just this last Saturday there was a vehicle heist and gun

fight right in front on the library. In God’s amazing

grace we were delayed by half an hour in getting

there, otherwise we would have been there at the

exact time of the heist. Please pray that God will

protect both the children and the team going in to visit

the library each week.

Faith in Action...

Santa Monica—The Purple Book has hit Peruvian prisons!!!! After some of the girls in Santa

Monica expressed a desire to study the Word more effectively, we have started going

through this biblical foundations course together. We are taking it quite slowly, but it is

great to see the kinds of questions that the girls are asking. Please trust with me that God

will use this course to bring the girls closer to Him and that they will be diligent in

completing it even after I am no long able to still go into the prison.

Piedras Gordas— Last Wednesday I was able to go and visit the ladies who have been

moved to Piedras Gordas prison. After an 90min car journey and a 2 1/2 hour wait to get

through the security checks (where I was made to lift up my top and show the insides of

my underwear to prove I was not smuggling anything—not nice!), I finally reached the

girls. We had a special time together in which I encouraged them to above all know that God loves them, that He is with them and that they have to choose whether or not they

obey Him. There have been a lot of interpersonal conflicts within the

group of late, so a lot of time afterwards was spent encouraging the

girls to walk in love and forgiveness.

Physically it was a very draining day and I was advised for that to be

my last visit to Piedras Gordas until baby arrives. The photos below

show the location of the prison in the desert and the photo to the

right is of my arms with all the stamps I collected at each security

check-point.

Saints in Cells….

Jaime and I would love to hear from you: please write to us at kimmysol@gmail.com or you could

call on +51 990 50 1552. My skype name is kimmysol.

Pray for the success of Vision Fest 2013; may many youth be inspired to serve their

communities.

Please pray for the Fe en Accion team as they continue to visit the children’s

libraries. May God give them wisdom as they minister to the children there and

may He protect them from any harm.

Please trust with us that the ladies in prison will make wholehearted decisions to

follow Jesus and that they will stay strong in faith

Please trust with our family for God’s financial provision for this new season.

A New Season…. As of today there are just 59 days to go until our little boy arrives.

Jaime and I really thank God that my pregnancy has gone very

smoothly so far and we are so excited for this next season of our

lives.

Because the ministry in the prisons and libraries generally takes me

to parts of Lima that are a bit dangerous and difficult to get to,

Jaime and I decided that I step back from active involvement in

these ministries as of the 16 March. At this point I will be 34 weeks

pregnant and would hate to suffer an emergency situation in a

place where help in not easy accessible.

For the remainder of the time until baby comes I will be dedicating my time to building

our ministry support team with the hope of raising more financial partnership. With the

added costs of a new member of the family and the devaluation of the Rand, we are

trusting that we can raise an additional R3000 each month. Please trust with us that

God will guide us to the correct people and that He will provide all that we need as a

family.

Please pray...
