Tuesday Revival



The road from Belmopan to St. Margaret's village is lush and green with palm trees and orange orchards. During our serve on Tuesday night we had a lot of sharing during the sharing time. We had a Trinity quintet to sing Give me Oil in my Lamp and one of the Belizian's shared their testimony about God's presence in her life. Pastor Jeff's sermon was about God's promises to bless us and courage to give our lives over to Him. At the end, some of the congregation were moved to come forward for a time of quiet prayer, one on one with the pastors. We are working to share God in their cultural patterns.

We had the answer to prayer as Buddy, from Fishers of Men, was able to get the dental team more lidocaine, the numbing drug that they needed to continue to treat patients. There was a line waiting as we arrived this morning - so much need.


Our VBS this morning has swelled to 230 but our rescheduling worked to better reach the children. We began with a packed sanctuary for the opening worship. The older girls made cards and baby packages as a mission project for their church, the youngest children dressed up for role play with the Bible passage about Jesus feeding the 5000 and the children received white canvas satchels which they decorated.
On the ride home from church, we stopped at a Menonite Bakers, Kropps, for something sweet for later. The lady was from Missouri but was spending 9 months in Belize working at their mission.


We have to thank the Trinity teams who came before us and helped with the construction on the building including finishing the four Sunday School rooms which we are using. They hung windows and doors, dug the trench to bring in water to the bathrooms and hand built the trusses for the roof. The building is serving God well in Belize.

  4. We are pleased to share this trip through the miracle of blogs! Thanks for giving us a daily update. It is very easy to see how God is blessing each of you and the people of Belize -- from the dentist to the VBS and ending each day with a revival message. May God continue to bless each of you,
