TRANSCRIPT
Recently Kim was joined for a day on
the south patrol by Dan Shepheard,
pastor of Crossroads Presbyterian
Church in Hobart. Two other pastors
will also be joining Kim over the com-
ing weeks.
It is encouraging to have the support of
the Presbyterian churches across the
whole State and to witness the sense
of family and team work in sharing the
Good News message in city and
country.
“I joined Kim for a day of patrol work.
Even though I've lived in Tasmania for
years that day I travelled roads and visited
places I never knew existed. This is where
Kim does his valuable ministry; meeting
people in the area, talking to those strug-
gling with relationships or having problems
on their land. Ultimately however, Kim
aims to share the gospel, see people be-
come Christians (by God's grace) and dis-
ciple Christians. When I got home I looked
at a map of Tasmania and sincerely
thanked God for the work he's doing.”

WORTH DRIVING FOR
showing interest and care
over the long haul.
A ‘religious’ family recently
confirmed their belief in
the Gospel as contained in
the ‘Sinners Prayer’. A new
Bible Study with two
Christians has commenced.
A possible marriage course
is being negotiated. Self
confessed non believers
are pleased to have the
Christian padre regularly
visit their home.
These ‘results’ are seen
over time. Thanks for
sticking with Kim for the
long haul through prayer
and financial support.
Once or twice monthly
Kim conducts services in
Stanley. He is currently
preaching from Luke’s
Gospel. A recent commun-
ion service was held at
Kirklands in the rural area
near Campbell Town; the
message discussing our
possible response to Jesus.
On patrol, Kim is finding
that relationships develop
and opportunities arise
over time. Boundaries are
crossed and trust is built
through faithful visitation.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Generous churches and individuals make the
work of PIM possible. There is considerable
cost to keep a patrol padre on the road. The
Tasmania Patrol is seeking financial support-
ers who wish to partner with Kim in taking
Christian care and the message of Jesus to
fellow Aussies who live in the bush.
Regular monthly support or one off gifts for
the Tasmania Patrol can be made by visiting
the PIM website and going to the Tasmania
Patrol page. Or alternatively contact Kim by
phone or email. (If you choose to give via the
website, please send Kim an email so he can
acknowledge your partnership in this vital minis-
try). Thanks so much to those already giving!
