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
