[/caption]Mark and Ellie Hymes first came to the Philippines in August 2009 to introduce to the Cuatro Christian School a reading program they had been using as a ministry in their home church in Kansas City, Mo. After a formal invitation to come be full-time missionaries with KIM, they decided to take an early retirement, pack up their lives and move here.
Since coming permanently in November, they’ve taught the CCS teachers how to run the reading program. Now, as of last week, they officially have their first four students.

[/caption]While it’s always KIM’s goal to better children’s lives, Mark shared the real purpose for their being here—“It’s all about the relationships that God has us here for,” Mark said. “It might be a little awkward at first, but six months down the road, we’ll be close, and that’s where real relationships can occur.”
id like Mark to contact me

Dear Beloved
ReplyDeleteBrethren,Much greetings through the exalted name of our Loving savior Jesus Christ from Kenya .
I am very much pleased to tell you that your teachings on your website are a great blessing to me, my family and the young independent christian fellowship that i founded when i got the call of the lord to do so.
So, i, my wife , children and some few brethren from the community we are serving the lord under this christian fellowship.
The fellowship is of 32 members.
I also take care of ten orphans whose parents died.
In this i am requesting you to send us more teachings that will enable us, as a small church to grow spiritually.
As well it is my kind request that you also remember these needy orphans under my care
in your daily prayers that God can open them ways for their needs both in physical and spiritual growth.
Also i would be happy if you will accept us to be part of your fellowship.
Pass our sincere regards and greetings to all Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
Pastor John
