Dear KKIM/KARS Family,
May the Strength, Peace and Wisdom of our Lord be with you and yours forever and ever!
I want to share with you, Thanks to Belinda of the Lighthouse Church in Chimayo, NM we will have Don Piper on with us at 3:30 today on KKIM/KARS. Piper wrote his story in the book, “90 minutes in Heaven” he will be coming to the Lighthouse Church in August to speak. More details coming. Anyhow, Piper was a in car wreck and pronounced dead, and while his lifeless body lay inside his wrecked car he experienced the glories of heaven. Then a Pastor prays for him and he returns to life. This is a true story and I have read the book. Thanks to Belinda an avid KKIM listener for arranging this visit!!!
WOW! What a day yesterday! Do you ever get done with your day and just say, “WOW! LORD!” That is happening more and more everyday!
There is enough discouragement out there to last a life time! But, what I am talking about this morning is all the wonders of the Lord. I see it all around me from the interviews I did for TV and Radio yesterday to my work with my son Lars and with Ryan Freeman and hearing from listeners of KKIM.
Most of all yesterday at the taping of our TV programs son Lars came with me. Lars is studying at CNM all those things that involve making movies and TV programs…..everything from lighting to filming. It was such a blessing to see how Steve of the CH 32 crew worked with Lars in making sure he understood everything that was going on. I remember when I would be with my Dad and watch him work, and learn from him. I thank Pastor’s Jim, Ray Franks, Steve Smothermon for being so kind to Lars.
The interviews with two Christian Giants, Ray Franks of the Evangelical Center, Ch 32 and 36 in Albuquerque and Steve Smothermon of Legacy Church in Albuquerque, now New Mexico’s largest Church with 20,000 members went so well, PRAISE GOD! Both are outstanding leaders here in New Mexico. Both use John Maxwell’s leadership Bible. Please get yourself a copy and use it in your devotionals daily. Not only do Pastor’s need to be reading Maxwell’s stuff EVERYONE DOES! I cry out to the Lord for more Godly Leaders for HIM!
I want to tell you, We talk to both Pastor Ray and Steve about leadership in the Church and also the Governors race here in New Mexico. it is very clear where the darkness lies and where the light is! The stances Denish takes are very unbiblical, very DARK! Pastor Steve, Lord willing will be on NM News and Views Thursday at 4:30. The interview with Pastor Ray Franks airs this Sat at 6pm and Sun at 7pm on OPEN DOORS Ch 32 KAZQ and then next weekend, Pastor Steve Smothermon.
There is DARKNESS in New Mexico state government and I really appreciate leaders like Pastor Steve that call it the way it is.
Just look at this mornings Albuquerque Journal and see all the money that David King, Chairman of the State Public Regulation Commission has cost the taxpayers of this state. His dysfunction and that of other elected officials in New Mexico has cost this state several millions of dollars. All King and Gov Richardson do is blame the media for reporting the TRUTH!
As you grow in your relationship with the Lord, HE really shows you the LIGHT and HE will show you the darkness. Discernment from the LORD!
Here is a note from Karen Rowe commenting on the murder suicide of two young boys and their Father in La Puebla, NM………..
Praying with you…and sad that some don’t know the working power of God in their life to overcome the things that drive them to commit such terror and pain..there’s always hope in Jesus.
Also…on a praise note: I met a woman yesterday who just moved to NC from NM. She told me that her mother listens to and loves KKIM! Just thought that you’d like to know that news of KKIM reached my driveway in NC!
Much love and prayers for all in all needs, Karen
Let us keep this family in our prayers.
It was so nice to hear from Bishop Salamat who is back in Pakistan. He stopped off in London for a bit and now is back home and scheduled to return to the Unites States sometime in August or Sept. Lord willing he will be brining his family with him! Please pray.
Brother Dewey, How are you ? I have got home safely. How is your situation? I am praying. Blessings

I am really thankful for Eric and Chris…they really get the importance of supporting the Ministry sponsors of KKIM/KARS……….ps they also are Ministry Sponsors of KKIM/KARS. Do you shop our sponsors?
Shalom Dewey,
Went out to Jericho Nursery recently. Great, helpful folks. Wonderful place – from the New Mexico-style building housing the store to the grounds and resident pooch. Many customers there getting plants and garden materials. Made sure to tell the folks on the job the day we were there that we heard about them on KKIM and thanked them for being ministry sponsor!

Now here is Dr. Deb and her WORD FOR THE WEEK….
Word for the Week
Dear Ambassadors,
As Ambassadors for Christ in the workplace, we look to Him as our example of what we are to say, what we are to do, and what we are to think. Philippians 2:3-9 starts off by reminding us to do nothing through selfish ambition or conceit. We are to look out for the interests of others in the same way we look out for our own interests. Verse 5 then says “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” This passage goes on to tell us that Christ became a man and “humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”
Scriptures in both the Old Testament and New Testament state that God gives grace to the humble and that our humbleness will be exalted. So how do we demonstrate humbleness day by day in the workplace where we often face criticism, disappointment in the actions and words of others, anger, jealousy, resentment, disagreement with the people we work for, gossip, unexpected changes that result in stress, and much more? We believe that we should speak up, defend ourselves, and point out the errors of others.
This is a good question to ponder this week. Christ’s example tells us to honor others, serve one another, be gentle and patient, love one another, submit, bear with each other, give thanks, and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. These are only some of the ways we can humble ourselves. Is this easy? No. Will we be perfect in our humbleness? No. But we can start today to pray for strength to be humble in all the circumstances we face each day at work. A good book to read is Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness by Andrew Murray. He ends the book with a prayer for humility on Page 105.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:29 (NIV), “Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart.” May we focus on showing a humble spirit to others this week.
In obedience to Him,
Dr. Deb

Here is a note from our friend John Robb…….
Dear Friends,
Today, a prayer leader friend passed on a Russian woman’s urgent cry from within the chaotic, tragic situation inside Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia. Probably several thousand have already died in what appears to be a premeditated stirring of ethnic tension between Kyrgyz and Uzbeks. Uzbeks make up 15% of the population and are the target of this pogrom which may be related to the forces ouster of the former president, Kurmanbek Bakiyev. Our informant inside Kyrgyzstan describes the situation in the city of Osh in the southern part of the country and pleads for our prayers:
“We are in the very center of the war–Osh.~ Something terrible and unimaginable is happening here.~ Amazingly, only about 10% of what is actually happening is being reported in the media. What we see is ethnic cleansing.~ The whole neighborhood of Uzbek houses are burnt to the ground.~ Whole families are being murdered–women, children.~ There are mountains of bodies in the streets, and the wounded are getting no help.~ There are mobs of young Kyrgys men, drunk, high, and heavily armed running around the streets killing and burning everything.~ All of this is politically wired.~ The internal national conflict has been brewing for a long time, and someone is using it for their gain.~ The authorities are silent and inactive.~ This inactivity seems to be premeditated…We are afraid to be alone in this trouble.~ A blood hungry mob has had a taste of violence and lawlessness.~ We are seriously concerned for our lives.~ Actually, to be honest, we are living in a constant state of animal-like fear.”
A Westerner, who was living in Osh at the time and had to be evacuated with his family, wrote of the complete devastation of a burnt out city. Because of the inactivity of the authorities and army in stopping the carnage, he also concludes this incident was premeditated: “We do not believe this is a simple case of ethnic violence. This was an orchestrated, chaotic tragedy set in motion by madmen.” He calls for the deployment of international peacekeepers to stabilize the situation and bring restoration of order because the weakened national government seems unable or unwilling to bring things under control. BBC News reports that some violence has been continuing earlier today.
Although there are clearly human and political factors that can account for what is happening, we must not fail to also perceive the supernatural influence of the evil one. Ethnic hatred, violence and genocide always have an element of spiritual darkness tied up in them. Our prayer initiative teams have encountered this repeatedly. Jesus said that Satan is a “liar and murderer”. Undoubtedly, the enemy is inspiring wicked people to do his bidding to cause maximum destruction of those made in God’s image. Therefore, please pray, using the authority the Lord has given us to bind the powers of darkness (Luke 10:19-21; Matthew 18:18-19).
Please pray for the following:
1 Quick action by the government of Kyrgyzstan and the international community to stop the violence and killing and restore peace and order to the nation and especially the city of Osh.
2 Exposure of those who are using this ethnic conflict to advance their own agenda of in order to get or keep political power and control of the nation.
3 Binding and expulsion of spiritual forces of evil who want the destruction of as many people as possible.
4 Effective and immediate humanitarian relief for those who are suffering lack, especially those trapped in areas of ongoing turmoil and conflict as well as those hundreds of thousands who have had to flee their homes as refugees within their own country or across the border into neighboring Uzbekistan.
Please also continue to remember the Afghan believers that their lives and their religious freedom will be safeguarded by their government and that the UN, other governments and international organizations will effectively intervene in their behalf.
Thanks so much for your prayers of faith and authority through the power of the Holy Spirit!
Warm regards,
John Robb
