Finally moved in

As some may know our office has been "transition" mode over the past few months. Since the fire in our neighbor's office in July we've been working out of boxes - looking forward to finding a permanent home. Now we've got it! We're back to the original building but a slightly larger and nicer location. Come and visit us next door to our old location at 100-571 Main St (and see how the Lord has blessed us by moving us 75 feet closer to Tim Hortons! Maybe once He chooses to move us the additional 3 blocks we'll start drinking coffee.)



Year end will soon be upon us and so comes the exciting time of reflecting on the year past and putting the finishing touches on the plans for 2007. This Saturday we had an encouraging meeting with a group of church leaders from the Bergfeld Mennonite Church (the church that initiated the Belize project) to discuss the future of the camping programs in Belize and Latin America. I'm looking forward to spending a week or two - here in our new office - in late December/early January together with Alex Perez (the indigenous leader from Belize) putting together a plan for this year and a strategy for the future when plans to return home to Belize. If you're interested in meeting Alex I'd love to introduce you to him. I'm hoping to host him for a couple days at our house sometime in early January. Photo: Alex and me on the ferry in Belize.




On the home front - the past week has been the week of the flu in the Zacharias household. 3 Zacharias members fell to the sinister plot and were victim to illness. The last man standing (myself) vows never to join the "dark side" of the flu and requests all further sick days come with 1 week's notice. All seem to be recovering nicely.
