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.

Tasmanian bush is about

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!
