I had the opportunity to meet with
Kimberley Gauld last month as part of her deployment process to Colombia where she is serving with Fundacion Brazos Abiertos (
Open Arms Foundation). Kimberly is a great example of the many new missionaries that are stepping into international missionary service with LAM and serving the many facets of the Church in Latin America. I have the privilege to work with new missionaries like Kimberly as well as our many long term missionaries on the field. Please keep Kimberley, all of LAM's missionaries and the Miami Service Office staff I work with in your prayers as we seek to honor God and equip His Church in Latin America. I received the following encouraging note from Kimberly last night that I wanted to pass along. God bless!

Subject: Colombia 2013- Update

Hi All,
I know I just sent an update, but today I had an amazing morning. A few weeks ago I translated a piece of paper ("letter from God to his child") that I received a few years ago at church into Spanish. I really felt that God wanted me to give each one of the boys this letter as it talks about his love and how he has amazing promises all throughout the bible for our lives. I gave a copy to the pastor of the team from the USA (it was in English). He wanted to use it for devotions this morning. So this morning I gave each of the boys a letter and then read it aloud to the group. After I read it I shared a bit of my testimony with the boys in Spanish (God definitely gave me the words to say!). After one of the boys from the USA team shared his testimony as well. A few of the boys from the farm were almost in tears while he was sharing. It was such an amazing morning. God definitely touched some of hearts of the boys today!! It was such a powerful morning and I definitley felt God brought me here to share this letter with these boys!
Thank you again for your support and prayers.
Kimberley
