"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am they God: will strengthen thee; year, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
Isaiah 41:10-11
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we are thankful to say that we are back in Canada and have been for two months.  We received new passports with the warning not to lose them again!

What have we done so far: we have moved Kim’s mom into a new house in Moncton where we are staying with her.  We are thankful how God provided this house as it is 1 KM from Kim’s brother and 1 KM from her work.  It will give Kim that added peace that her mom is close to family in the case she needs anything.  We have helped our children Jessica and Chris move their stuff from their apartment.  Now we are trying to sort through and downsize.

All of our children have found work.  Lindsay and Jonathan found work shortly after we returned from Peru which is something they had hoped for.  Chris is working in Fredericton and Jessica in PEI. We are thankful to be able to spend some time together with the children.

We have been visiting as we have opportunity; I just finished a trip to visit some assemblies in Quebec with Gerald St Laurent. It has been so nice to see so many friends. We still have many more people we would like to see so please continue to remember us as we travel.

Please remember one of our sisters Gloria in FerreƱafe, as she has been ill recently and they have found a tumor on her liver, which has proven to be cancerous.  Gloria and her husband Carlos have been faithful in their service and commitment to the work of the Lord.  They both have worked with the young people carrying on small Bible studies with unbelievers or young believers.  Gloria has esp. been a big help with the young girls.

A note for praise; I had told you that the government had made changes to the visas for missionaries but we were not sure what these changes were.  While in Lima getting our passports taken care of, I spoke with our contact.  He told me that it appears, the changes will impact new missionaries only and ours would be renewed normally when we return to Peru.  They should find out better in July what the changes for new missionaries will be.

The recent mother’s day and father’s day programs were well attended with a good number in attendance.  The gospel was given and we pray for fruit from the seeds sown.

Before we left we had started visiting the homes of all the families from the school (approx 140).  Our goal was to get to know them better but also share the gospel in each home as we visit them.  Recently some of the families have begun attending the Sunday School so remember them as well.

As many of you know my sister Audrey was with us for two years in Peru, she is to be married June 29th in Truro NS.  We are thankful we are home and will be able to attend it.  All of the family is coming which is the first time we are all together in many years (approx. 18).

In Him 


Mark Kim and Family
