What a wonderful time in Belize.  You might want to look at some of the new photos on my Facebook page.   On Friday I was able to do some evangelism training.  First I taught about the power of the Word of God and the influence it has on the lives of the people that listen to the Word.  I was able to bring into Belize over 1000 Gospel Tracts put out by World Missionary Press.  I had a tract for children called the Way to God, and another Tract for Adults called The Amazing Life of Jesus Christ
We did some practical training with these tracts, passing them out to each other and practicing what to say to initiate a conversation.  That was a lot of fun as the different members of Abundant Life started to share with each other.
After the training was done, Pastor Rick asked the congregation what we had just accomplished.  Desarey stood up and said, “Pastor Rick, we just received discipleship.  We just became more like disciples of Christ!”  Rick agreed with her, and then she said, “And we are prepared to go and live a lifestyle of sharing the love of Jesus Christ with others!”  Praise the Lord, isn’t God good!?
On Saturday, we went to one of the downtown parks and turned the church loose.  They went out and started sharing and showing the love of God to the neighborhood.  Someone brought along a bunch of sandwiches, and pretty soon most everyone in the park was eating a sandwich and reading a tract about the Amazing Life of Jesus Christ.
Praise the Lord, isn’t it exciting living for God!  Please remember to keep us in prayer as we spend time this week visiting with different Pastors in the City and visiting the neighboring city of Belmeapon, where we will be having two different services and encouraging the church there to live for God’s glory.    We believe that God will use his local churches in Belize to bring a revival here to Belize.
On Sunday I was able to share in Abundant Life Ministries about the need to cry out to God for your city.  That evening a group from the church agreed with God that they would pray and cry out on a regular basis, and work to fill the church with souls hungry for God.  I am so excited about what God is doing in Belize, and am so grateful that you are going to Belize with me in your prayers and offerings.   Thank you so much for the way you have participated, and for the fruit that God is giving unto Eternal Life.
