Update From Alex

I spoke to Alex this afternoon and would like to pass on to you some of what he shared...

The team certainly had their work cut out for them this week. The crew spent 3 days and 2 nights reaching out to some of the toughest kids in Belize City. While Alex shared the girls where angels he mentioned the boys made up for the rest. Needless to say the team was tired but deeply satisfied. As it seems, often when the work is the hardest the fruit is the best. Alex was thrilled to share that all of these children chose to give their lives to Christ. I guess it wasn't hard for the kids to see the drastic contrast between life without Christ (as they experience in the tough existence of life in Belize City) and life with Christ (as modelled by their counselors).

Alex mentioned the health of the team was improving but they did suffer some casualties to the mosquitoes during the past camp. As I spoke to Alex the team was enjoying some much deserved R & R and were preparing to head out to Spanish Lookout for the upcoming camps in Duck Run 1 and Duck Run 3 (guess they had a tough time coming up with fresh names for these villages). Camps there will run next week from Monday - Wednesday.

I'll keep you posted as I hear more from the team!
