Gooooood Morning

Well it looks like another full day ahead. Alex just stopped by to give me the low down... it was a nice sized list. Today we'll connect with the rest of the team... we're expecting somewhere around noon or so. (Three friends of Alex's are coming to lend us a hand)

Yesterday was a great day of prayer, preparation and rest. It was a very spiritually focusing day and I feel better equipped for the week ahead - I must admit I was a little anxious (and maybe still am a little) about some of the items of agenda. I also had an opportunity to spend the afternoon with a pastor friend I met last year.

When we met Pastor Marlon last year he was very discouraged. As a missionary from Costa Rica, Marlon was finding the Belizean culture hard to break through. I always chuckle a little when guys like that ask me for advice... I think I'll make a t-shirt that says this white guy's not the brightest crayon in the box (in fact does anyone ever really use the white crayon?) It seems the struggle continues as it is still a hard culture to reach. He shared his struggles dealing with the witchcraft and other demonic practices his church families are dealing with. It's a heavy burden he bears and all I could do is help him carry it in prayer... so we shared a time of prayer together. I believe Pastor Marlon is still somewhat discouraged, or heavy burdened, so if you feel led you might help him (and the many others) carry this burden in prayer.

So the need is apparent here in Belize... let's go see what doors open today!
