February, 2025 Dear Friends and Family, WOW! What a start to a year. Risha and I enjoyed being able to see lots of friends and family in the states. As well as being able to give updates to some of our supporters. Then I headed back to Peru to “wrap things up.” It has gone well, though very hard. Harder than I thought it would be. It is hard to wrap up over 20 years of living in another country.
December, 2024 Dear Friends and Family, Things have been going well in Peru! This year I was a bit overwhelmed with my classes at our Christian school but loving it! What a privilege to teach the Bible to young people. And our church continues to grow. Exciting! Some BIG changes to announce! First, I can’t imagine not being in Peru! But after 25 years focused on Peru, I will be changing my focus from serving in Peru to serving other missionaries all around the world.
September, 2024 Dear Friends and Family, Hello from Perú! For those of you in the United States I hope you have enjoyed your summer! Here in Perú we are finishing up with our cold weather as it is starting to warm up. We are looking forward to some warmer weather, although it doesn’t really get very cold here. It is exciting for me to currently have Risha here in Perú with me!
June, 2024 Dear Friends and Family, Thank you again for all your faithful prayers and support. I could not be in Peru without you! It is a blessing to be here! In March, Risha and I had an opportunity to go to Brazil for a BIMI Field Conference. And what a blessing it was for both of us! It was great to connect with other missionaries in South America and see how God is working.
February, 2024 Wow! What a wonderful, busy, crazy and exciting few months! Finishing the school year is always a little crazy with all the end of year programs. In Peru the school year starts in March and finishes in December. From finishing classes, tests, Christmas dramas, multiple graduations (preschool, elementary, high school). Crazy, but also exciting because of all the opportunities to connect with the families and share the Gospel with them!
October 30, 2023 Dear Friends and Family, I would like to thank each one of you for your faithfulness in praying and giving so that I can be on the mission field. What a blessing! It is exciting for me to be able to be here in Peru and work with the different churches and the Christian school. Here is a picture of our English church service from earlier this year.
July 25 2023 Dear Friends and Family, Hello from Perú! Things are going well here. Our English church recently had a joint anniversary celebration with the Spanish church and another home church. It was nice to have all three churches together at once. We had 347 people there. Last week, the Spanish church baptized some new Christians! In my last prayer letter, I focused on Janise’s wedding with Ethan. They are wasting no time.
April 16 2023 Dear Friends and Family, I had a great trip to the USA visiting family, friends, and churches. Of course the main reason for the trip was to be at Janise and Ethan’s wedding which was beautiful! I am so excited for them. Please keep them in your prayers. For the father daughter dance, Janise changed into the dress that Kathy wore for our wedding to honor her.
January 17 2023 Dear Friends and Family, A lot has happened since my last prayer letter: Tom Pace, missionary to Peru since 1967, was called home to heaven on November 8th, 2022. By God's grace, he is in the unimaginable presence of his Lord and Savior; and he is certainly enjoying the great reunion with many loved ones and his daughter Kathy. To God be all glory! One extra blessing was that at Tom’s services I was able to visit with many people who had known Kathy also.
October 8 2022 Dear Friends and Family, I am so appreciative of those who support and pray for my family! It is a privilege for me to work in Peru as a missionary. And I know that I could not be here without your prayers and support! Thank you! Our English church services continue to grow (little by little) both online and in person. It is exciting to get to know everyone and be able to preach and teach from God’s Word.
June 10 2022 Dear Friends and Family, Our church has been fighting with some old sound systems for months (if not years). Each week it was a guess as to which of the channels would work or not work. Well no more! Through one of our supporting churches, God has provided us with a brand new sound board and the money to purchase some new microphones. What a blessing! It was during a missions conference where they spoiled and loved on me and gave many more gifts.
March 5 2022 Dear Friends and Family, Wow! Time flies! Sorry for the delay in writing this prayer letter! I was able to spend Christmas with all four of my girls here in Peru! It was a huge blessing and encouragement! Risha was able to stay longer into January. An extra blessing even though she got sick with COVID which allowed her to stay longer. Great news! Krista is engaged to be married!
Back In Peru! October 5 2021 Dear Friends and Family, I’m finally back in Peru! I flew back to Peru October 4th. I had my plane ticket ready September 6th but then I got Covid along with my mom, dad, sister and brother. Little by little we have all recovered. My dad was hit the hardest and almost has his strength completely back. Because of this I had to postpone returning to Peru for almost a month.
Dear Friends and Family, July 10, 2021 I can’t wait to get back to Peru! But I can’t imagine returning without Kathy! Kathy’s dad, Tom Pace, needed to have back surgery again before he could return to Peru. He had to wait until the middle of April for his surgery because of being on blood thinner after some blood clots were found in his lungs back in January. I chose to be available to help him and Carolyn get to appointments during that time.
Dear Friends and Family, May 10, 2021 I’m heading back to Peru September 6th! I now have my plane ticket to fly back to Peru on Monday, September 6th. Getting close! Kathy’s dad and mom flew back to Peru July 8th. I’ve enjoyed being their designated driver and helping them get places. While traveling I was able to visit some churches and lots of family and friends with them. It has been a great time.
November 2020 Dear Friends and Family, Kathy is with her Savior! Kathy passed away Wednesday, October 28th. Each one of our daughters, her mom and dad and her sister Becky had a chance to be with her that day before she went home. The rest of her brothers were able to visit very recently also. We are so glad that we have all been together during this. God is good! Please pray for our family during this time.
October 28th, 2020 Hello. This is a quick update on Kathy: She is with her Savior! Kathy passed away this afternoon (Wednesday October 28th). Each one of our daughters, her mom and dad and her sister Becky saw her today before she went home. We are so glad that we were all together during this. God is good! Please pray for our family during this time. It is a time of celebration but also of loss and mourning.
