Along the road we could see ancient Mayan ruins peaking through the jungle landscape. However I was more interested in the dozens of make-shift shacks that lined the winding road. In door ways stood little children who looked as though they could really use the hope that the message of the gospel.
We're becoming very aware of the poor lifestyle choices that surround the community and even the church. There are many young single mothers and many more children with the need of hope. Please pray that we would be effective in developing leaders to bring this hope to these children. It is difficult to find those who are motivated and willing to live their faith out practically.
We just returned from meeting with a woman who is effectively reaching children through the ministry of CEF. We had a wonderful time of sharing and prayer and we hope that in the future we will be able to work together to reach the children of Belize.
The setting of meeting was quite beautiful. The sun was most gorgeous rising over the jungle this morning (the alarm sounded at five and we had a few moments to enjoy the scene before our bus arrived).
Got to go - fresh pineapple and cantalope await
