VBS Gets Started
Baptism
Bro Don was privileged to baptize three from August Pine Ridge. Br o Victor’s family that was saved at Youth Camp. The roads were too bad to go back to the Lagoon so we went to the River at Tower Hill. We carried a van full. It was a Bless Time it reminded me of my own Baptism on the river. After ward Don paid for them all a boat ride some of them had never been in a motorboat. They all loved it and it will be a day to remember for them. The rain held off and the sun shone for Gods children.
VBS
Well the house is full of people and we are having a great time! The Arkansas Team came in on July 17th. We all had a great time at Caye Caulker. After weeks of getting ready everyone needed a time to rest and get prayed up. The Alabama and Mississippi Team came in on Thursday. We were greatly surprised when Martha Headly came on the field to be the San Lazaro evangelist! The Teams have a lot of new people in them. We are anxious to meet all of them. Don carried all of the people to their stations and saw that San Hill and Hattieville had transportation., groceries and all their needs. We are excited about what the Lord will do this week. The rains have been bad this year. We are grateful that they have stopped for a few days and give things time to dry a little.
We had a great time at the youth rally at Guinea Grass. They had plenty of food and a football game going all evening. One van of the Blitz got stuck and went around the back way. We were a little late because we didn’t know where they were It was a relive to see they were at the Youth Rally at Guinea Grass. The Progresso Team decided to go on to Progresso before dark. That was a good decision because we have had a lot of rain and they didn’t know where they were going. It made us proud to see how Guinea Grass has grown in the Lord. They have a new Youth Director and it was his first time to direct anything. He didn’t realize he had three ex-missionaries in the crowd until Bro. Don told him later in the evening. He would have been nervous there are a lot of new young men that have came there in the last five years. Each church made a presentation it really made me proud to see them all.
We went to Guinea Grass for Church Sunday morning. It was great to see how far they have come. In the last few years. There was good attendance and a good Spirit there. If you have ever been to Guinea Grass and to some of the Spanish Churches you would see how far we have come in our walk with the Lord. They do not come in talking the first thing they do is go to the alter and pray. They are a humble people and very soft-spoken. The women and girls wear their hair long and wear dresses. They don’t wear make-up nor gold. Most don’t wear Bloomers (pants), The men wear there best. Usually white shirts. That is the way they believe. They take the church and Gods Word very seriously, some of the young have chosen a different way but they are considered. Liberal a part of the world. Even among some of our own churches. There are two different personalities. God is a God of variety in this little country, people worship in a lot of ways. But I pray we will always be a people that reflect God Holiness in everything we do or say as we carry Gods Word to our own country or another. I pray that everyone that has come on this field has prayed for all of our witnesses as we reflect Christ’s image.
We started revival last night. There was a church full of people, lots of good music and preaching. Bro Don was the evangelist; it was a Spirit filled night. The alter was full as people Prayed for the struggles in their lives. Bro Don will baptize one on Sunday. We are excited about the start of the revival.
VBS started this morning we had a good start about 200-225. The nationals taught and did a great job. The children are very much in control when the nationals teach. We are very grateful to the Arkansas team without the teams we couldn’t have a VBS in the manner that we do. We give them Thanks for sacrificing their time and the money to come here to share Gods Word. The teaching time was great, in the teen and adult class. is where I stayed and helped We are each teamed up with a national so we can learn one from another. They are very excited that the Teams are here. I know the Arkansas Team works all year getting things ready and preparing crafts for 400. Adults and children love the glitter and glue. I had four stand this morning for prayer. We are getting a great start. .
I haven’t heard much from the other teams. But I know everything is great with them.
Pray for us that this will be a life changing experience for the country of Belize and for the ones that came to share their lives with us here.
