No I didn't get on the plane and land up in Australia. But we're sea side in Belize City and Alex mentioned he spotted a croc just down the street. Don't worry, though I bear the name "Steve" I'm not getting any "Crocodile Hunter" ideas.
Oh... I was going to take a picture of where I slept so I could post it... That would have been good for a laugh. We arrived at the hotel to discover that it was overrun by American Missionaries... no room in the inn. We had a great conversation with them and many sounded very interested in joining us in India real soon. So I gathered info and we'll see what that amounts too...
So I spent the night with Alex in his place... It's always humbling to come to a place like this and see the sacrifices people like Alex make for ministry. He's living in a "friendly", safe but extremely small room (you can ask me later what "friendly" means but it was the thing to laugh about!)
The two of us had a good time of reconnecting and exploring what God wants for this ministry. While we discussed many encouraging things there are still many challenges ahead. Tonight we meet with potential board members and we'll see where God leads from there. According to our conversation Alex feels that Belize may be a spring board to neighboring countries like El Salvador where the harvest seems to be ripe. We'll see where that leads over the next year but for now we have our work cut out for us in Belize.
Already I have some Salbutes in my tummy and raring to go. Tomorrow it's off to Spanish Lookout to connect with and challenge the youth out there. I'll keep you posted.
