The Baptist Training Center is a a great refuge and home base for us in Belize. We had prayer time and breakfast this morning including watermelon and fresh mangoes before leaving for the church in St. Margaret's village. On the drive to church, we passed a police escort for a cycling race with maybe 50 riders and a camera crew with them. Cycling is the favorite national sport.
Sunday was a wonderful day of worship for us
with the congregation of Lagoon Road Baptist church. We were blessed by their love of singing and their joy in fellowship. Each of the children's Sunday School classes reported on their Bible study as part of the service and we had a chance to witness the faithfulness of their teachers. Pastor Jeff lead our study of John 3 and several of the congregation came forward to rededicate their lives to Christ.After church we picnicked on sandwiches which we had brought with us and spent several hours setting up for Vacation Bible and the Dental Clinic. A number of children lingered into the afternoon to watch us with great anticipation of the week beginning.
Our cook Jane made us a delicious spicy beef stew for supper before we returned to church to
begin our revival. We brought our own special music with Jordan and Mark singing and playing the guitar for the evening service as well as our Trinity choir of 25 members singing "Standing on 
the Promises". Pastor Jeff spoke about Jesus's crucifixion and how much He loves us from John 19. This church is filled with happy children; we pray that God will use us to place His hand on them - each one in the way that they can receive it. Pray with us.
