No June Gloom

Hello Friends,

As always, we hope this update finds you well!  As for the Kim Klan (one more “K’ and we’re not looking good!), we have just completed a great month of living in Mexico City and adjusting to life as a family of FOUR!  Our children have filled our home with such incredible joy and many surprises at every turn.  Micah is in full potty-training mode which comes with its own set of surprises but that is probably part of what has made our lives such fun. (Probably)

THE WELL

Our entire family and team has been able to interact more with the girls from The Well and it has been such an incredible experience.  The girls are no older than 16 while the youngest is 11 years old.  On one hand, it is heart-breaking to think about the stories of pain that these children carry at such a young age but their vitality and enthusiasm has been an encouragement to us.  What a privilege to share in these moments and witness the slow but sure process of life-transformation through a love that we all share.  Sadie has also returned from “maternity leave” and is providing voice lessons for these music lovers once again.  Please continue to pray for these girls as well as the team of women who care for them daily.

FRIENDSHIP with VEREDA

Vereda is the church that we have been mentioning to you the past couple of months.  The bond between Vereda and Neo (Newsong Mexico) is growing stronger and we believe that God placed us together for such a time as this.  God’s hand on this church is evident and we feel honored and grateful to walk with this community.  We share the same vision and values and we are starting to dream of the future together.  We are joining together twice a month now for joint services and these times have been mutually encouraging and refreshing.

JUSTICE NOW

We are so extremely excited about Justice NOW happening on August 20 in partnership with Vereda!  We believe God will use this night to grab the hearts of the people who will soldier up in our love revolution against trafficking.  Justice NOW is a night of worship that we had started in California to highlight causes that affect our world and break the heart of God.  The end of each night concludes with a challenge and call to respond in practical ways to worship beyond songs and words.  Please pray for this gathering.  Pray that it would be beyond what we expect or prepare for and that God would sweep something beautiful and unstoppable throughout Mexico City and beyond.

THE CAMPAIGN

We’ve been meeting more frequently to continue to develop our ideas for the campaign to end human trafficking in our lifetime.  It has been exciting but lots of hard-work.  We are in need of your prayers with this.  We believe in the vision that we have but we have never been involved in something so huge and audacious.  God has to come through in earth-shattering ways!  Let it be.

Thank you for reading.  Thank you for being our friends and cheerleaders.  Thank you for taking steps in serving with us.  Please keep the prayers coming.  We are always in need of those!

We love you!
