MI HAPPI FU DE INNA BELIZE WIT UNU.
Belizian Creole: I am happy to be in Belize with Everyone!!
This is the first phrase I learned in Creole!
Today we had lunch with Pastor Rick's older daughters. Please keep Sasha and Shamim in prayer for a closer spiritual walk and a life of commitment to God. In the Bible, John the Apostle wrote that he had no greater joy than that his children walk in the truth. Let us pray for these two young ladies that they also bring great joy to their father as they choose to walk in the truth, too.
Tomorrow we will have an opportunity to speak with some influential pastors in Belize. Belize suffers greatly from a severe lack of discipleship. Let me give you an example. Zoe Christian Church started here and quickly grew to over 500 people in a very short time. The pastor suffered a heart attack, and within a few short weeks, it was down to 15 people. There was no depth, no commitment, no discipleship. This is a common problem worldwide, but it is very pronounced in Belize.
Please pray for us, that we can impart the vision of strong churches based on the depth of Christian commitment to Christ and not on the numbers of attendees.
I shared last Sunday on the Sirophoenecian Woman’s cry to Jesus, and on her willingness to take from the Lord what he had for her. Please pray for Belize that the heart of the Christians here would be to cry out to God for what he has for them, and that they would commit themselves to partaking of a Christian life based on total commitment to Christ.
Thank you so much for your prayers. I appreciate so much everyone praying for me, and I believe this week we will make the important contacts with pastors that God wants us to have to begin praying together for an awakening for Belize.
God’s Richest Blessings,
