Teaching Of The Week  

Letter From Chile

  Dear Wayne,

Greetings to you and to the CFFM family, in the most powerful name there is, Jesus Christ.

  Two years ago, about to the week, we all came to Chile to deliver a simple, but powerful and profound message:  "God loves you and He is willing to heal you."  This past weekend, we had our FIRST FAMILY CAMP!!  This event was a combination of the Family Reunion and the Family Camp you do in the USA.  We started on Friday afternoon and finished on Sunday after lunch, but we all camped out.  We had teachings and meals outdoors, had the opportunity to pray in a bamboo forest and we enjoyed the most healing of bonfires, which ended with a ministering session while the rest of the people sang praises to God in an outburst of joy and thankfulness.

  On Saturday afternoon, we had time to fellowship one with another:  People played soccer, swam, talked, the teenagers played the Wii dance games; children played ping-pong, played one with another to their hearts content!

  We had 79 people at the camp, with ages ranging from one month to eighty years of age.

  People came from as far south as the VIII Region, 8 hours south of the camping area and as far north as the II Region (some 14 hour trip.)  The cities represented were Antofagasta, Copiapó, Coqimbo, La Serena, Quilpué, Viña del Mar, Villa Alemana, Concón, Santiago, Rosario, Concepción and Talcahuano.

  The theme of the Camp was:  Fear Not, God is our Sufficiency!! On Saturday morning we started with Paulina teaching on:  Fear Not!  I followed with:  God is our Sufficiency!  Then, Paty taught on God Can Help us Win in the Spiritual Competition.  Mark closed on Saturday with:  God is our Sufficiency in Health (Juany translated for him.)

  On Sunday morning Juany started with:  Fear Not, God is our Sufficiency Financially! I followed her with:  Fear Not, God is our Sufficiency at Work! and Paty closed the teaching aspect of the Camp with:  The Greatness of God - God Can be our Sufficiency!!  (We will make available the transcripts of our teachings on the Website for people to be able to continue to work them.)  Roberto MC´d the event.  During the teaching sessions the children had their own activities, and they had a great time.

  The common word that came out of everybody's mouth was ¡Maravilloso! (which means: Marvelous!)

  This week Facebook has been abounding with pictures from the Camp and many positive and uplifting comments that go back and forth among the believers... an awesome witness!!

  I will translate for you one comment posted on a Facebook page built by the believers of the V Region to witness their thankfulness and the Word of God to others:

Dear Kirk and Paty,

Thank you for answering the call of God, bringing once again the beauty of God´s Word and love back to Chile.  We have so many beautiful things to tell you.  Among the believers, there is so much love and thankfulness for your lives; for your giving, so loving and powerful, that it delights us, it caresses us and it embraces our souls.  Thank you for your daily efforts and push, for the words of comfort and restoration that you impart to us.  Thank you for the smile, the caress, the loving embrace.  Thank you for bringing us back again to the true and sound doctrine of the true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Thanks be given to our wonderful God, to our Father, that heard our cry and saw our hearts and answered us so abundantly, giving us an oasis on a weekend like this.

  Wayne, this is also our heart of thankfulness to you all, for allowing us to be a part of CFFM, for having made available the knowledge you have to us, for the classes, the teachings, the constant efforts to see the Word of God over the World in our day and time.

  Thank you so much for teaching us about healing.  The believers have embraced this new knowledge and we are seeing that our Father is backing us up.  Here is an email from someone that was at the Family Camp, whose daughter was healed while at the camp from a leg pain she had for many years and utilized that knowledge when she got home.

Patricia,
I am so blessed.  Yesterday, my mom was in bed sick with a sore back, she is constantly suffering from these pains and constantly buying medication to control them.  As she was laying in bed I entered her bedroom with Josefa, my daughter, and asked my mom if the pain was very strong.  She replied in the affirmative.  I told her to lay on her side and I ministered healing to her.  My daughter and I put our hands on her back and order in the name of Jesus Christ that her bones and muscles be restored to wholeness.  I told the pain to live her immediately, in the name of Jesus Christ.  My mom was quiet, without saying anything.  When I finish praying I told her to stand up, that she was healed.  She got up from her bed; then, I told her to sit down and stand up again, and asked her, are you in pain?  She had many tears in her eyes and replied:  I have no pain at all.  I said God has healed you, He still loves you because you are His daughter, we forgot Him but He didn´t forget us.  I gave her a kiss and left the bedroom.  My mom was shocked.  All these things have strengthened my believing, and that was a big impact on my mommy's life.  The day is coming when she will be again with me in the Word.  Andrea.

  Personally for me, your trip to Chile and our visits to the Family Reunion and Family Camp continue to be an example and continue to give me the confidence to walk with the Father and to believe He is working in me to do and will of His good pleasure.

  Thank you again, and please send all our love to everyone there in the office and to all the staff that worked on the Family Reunion and Family Camp this year because by observing you all I got many ideas of how to do different aspects of this camp. We truly are a family and we are connected.

Much love and respect;

Kirk and Paty King
