To little time and lot to do

Dear Friends,

Pray that youth groups will grow, that God will call out teens that are willing to be disciple and train to become camp councillors. The churches I am currently working have no youth group, and are in pretty tough neighbourhoods. With crime rates high and rain it make ministry more difficult as my prayers for a vehicle or motorcycle have still gone unanswered.
Pray that God will provide a vehicle and for protection until then, as I have to ride my bike everywhere.
Pray that the detail for the cross-current team visiting will come together in time for their trip on March 25th to April 15.
Also pray as I try to find the time to prepare things down here to be joined by my future wife.
SO MUCH TO DO AND SO LITTLE TIME!
Pray for strength as the burden is heavy, and the cost is high. This is where God wants me, and I am willing – but I can not do it without your prayers of support.

A picture of Camper.. Catty

One of the camper home Pastor Betson picking up campers

Church service is made of campers... ON A SUNDAY... IT takes hard work to work with young people.. energy.. ha, ha, ha

Pastor Bethson duble his Camper

Shalom,, “Y” “all”
In Spanish we say: “ Mucha - Passa”.
The children in Belize City say, “My Friend!” It reminds me of when I was in India… The Indian people gave me special names like “Uncle” or “my Brother.” They saw the value of being a Latin Missionary in India…
In the same way the children of Belize City experience the importance of having someone who is building a long term relationship with them. It blows the kids minds knowing that there are people who care for them. The circumstances where these children come are like the ghetto.
What a privilege it is to have a real friend! James 2:23 says, that God accounted to Abram righteousness and God even called him His Friend….
Pastor Betson a pastor who we did camp with last summer @ the city of Belize has tripled his campers over the period of 7 moths... He now has 75 rough and beautiful children. Since the older people do not want to come church, Pastor Betson has caught the vision of what Children’s Camps International has been promoting.
“Win the children and through them we win the parents,” says Pastor Betson. He has caught the vision. Two weeks ago a statistic came up for Belize. It stated that 44 % of our population is under the age of 18. Pastor Betson and other Pastors shake their heads saying “Bull’s eye!”…. And only 15% of the churches in Belize are targeting to youth. Pray that the church in Belize continues to picks up the vision to reach out the youngsters. Belize is a young country that received its independence in 1981. So we are a young nation with a young population who need to take God more seriously.
Okay! Last two weeks. God has given me the privilege to start 3 youth groups in 3 different churches. I guess someone has to do the job!!! I give thanks to God that he has started a fire in my heart for the young generation here. And we need more youths to have more camp counselors for this summary camp 2008.
Please pray 4 the Ministry
