Tuesday Happenings... - 3rd Day Baptist in Belize - July 10, 2010

Today was our first day of VBS in Lemonal! After our intense excursion to the community center, we were excited to get going with the kids. We walked around and invited the chilldren of the village to come hang out with us for the morning. There was a great turn out and we have already started making connections with the kids and their parents. In the afternoon we continued working on the construction/painting projects in Bermudian Landing that we began yesterday. Also, the girls were able to hang out and make some friendship bracelets as they got to know some of the locals. We also had the privilege of leading a bible study at the church this afternoon. We shared our testimonies, and a few from the other groups shared theirs as well. One lady from the village shared about her life and struggles and we were able to have a powerful time of prayer for her! God was clearly moving and using the group to pour into so many lives today-- praise God!

Hello Friends! I continue to pray for each of you many times each day. My heart is there with you... Just from the little that I have learned, I can just "sense" that God is working through you all in a mighty way... Keep looking to Him (as I know you are), and He will draw others to Himself through you. WOW! How humbling it is to think that the GOD OF THE UNIVERSE can bring others into "the fold" through us and our lives when we allow Him and make ourselves willing and obedient vessels...!! What an enormous responsibility we have to make ETERNAL impressions... :)

It was so nice to hear from Brent, Chad, and Hailey on the chat last night. Maybe Elizabeth will be on tonight??? :) 'Hope so... Your special group remains at the top of my list of prayer concerns, and SO MANY others are praying, too. God bless you as you continue your mission work there in Belize!

We have been praying that God will keep each of you safe and well as you serve Him in Belize. You will have life-changing stories to share about the wonderful experiences in your own lives and those who have been impacted by your ministry. God bless!
