Greetings from Kim & Lynn

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!  

We arrived back in Guatemala last week.  It looks like we left Canada just before the cold and snow arrived with a fury. This is one of the busiest times of the year for Fe Viva Ministries in Guatemala.  We have close to 100 people coming on short term mission groups in the next 6 weeks.


Our missionaries and staff are always kept very busy at this time, and always do a great job.  The first team of the year returned to Nashville, TN, with glowing praise reports. The Nashville Team brought a lot of blessings for the people, as well as taking many blessings home with them.  People are thanking the Lord for the "good works" done to them through this team.


We are now preparing for the next two groups to arrive this Friday. It promises to be a great time, full of ministry and full of adventure. The Dental Team from Kindersley, SK, and the "Calling All Men" Team will work and minister together for a week.  After that we have a steady flow of individuals, ministers and families joining us to continue the work in Guatemala.

Lynn and I remain in Central America until the end of February. March, April & May will keep us busy with travel and ministry throughout Canada and the USA.  One key highlite of our ministry tour will be our annual Fe Viva Missions Conference. This year it will be held in Kindersley at Kindersley Christian Fellowship. We invite you all to join us at the conference from April 19-22, 2012.

Please pray for all the staff and missionaries of Fe Viva as they travel, minister and care for those in their charge.

Blessings to you all in 2012.

Kim and Lynn

Fe Viva 2012: A New Season

The rains have been gone for a few months now and the green plants are turning a bit brown. Most of you receiving this have snow on the ground and are settled in for a good winter. As in the physical realm here in Guatemala, Fe Viva has had some changes over these last few months in the personel area of our ministry.

We are welcoming Pastor Edwin Asturias and his wife Teresa and son Edwin Jr. to our full time staff here at Fe Viva. Edwin has been working between Guatemala and El Salvador this past year, prepping his churches for his departure. He is Fe Viva's Bible College Director, community pastor (meeting with local pastors and finding out their needs as well as the community) and will now be overseeing the prison ministry amoung other things.

Pastor Rafael Santos, who has been partnering with Fe Viva in the prison ministry, is no longer with us. He was one who helped set up and oversee the prison ministry since its inception and we bless him as he moves on in other areas of ministry.

We also have new staff for the food preparation and cleaning for Fe Viva. We welcome Polemarco and Alba Aguilar to Fe Viva as our partners in preparing all the excellent food. They are local caterers, bakery owners and an excellent mechanic who has helped Fe Viva with our vehicle needs. When you visit the base, you will have the great pleasure of getting to know these excellent people.


We have had one Tia (auntie) resign from Casa Esperanza this past month. We bless Tia Cheny as she goes and we welcome our new staff member, Tia Gloria. She is fitting right in and learning quickly.


Please pray for us as we enter this new season at Fe Viva, that God will direct and give wisdom in this new day.

 

God Bless

Kids "Being the Difference"

"Hi my name is Jenna Gibbs,
Me and my friend Emily Metz are doing a Guatemala Flood Relief Fundraiser. We are doing it at our Spanish class and co-op and church. We are also doing baking and bringing it to co-op to raise more money. So we are going to donate the money that we get, every 2 weeks. We have raised $755.00 since November."

Fe Viva also got a donation from a school in Owen Sound.

The kids had a fundraiser and Fe Viva was chosen as the recipient.They sent $100.

"I am the chair of the Parent Council at a school in Owen Sound Ontario, Keppel Sarawak Elementary. We had a fundraiser at Christmas and you were chosen for the proceeds this year. I do know that it is a small amount compared to what you are used to, however it was great to see children helping children. All the best !"
