Our Grandson’s Birthday

Yesterday was our grandson, Riley’s, birthday. He’s 8 years old now. One of the things that makes it hard to be on the missions field,  is missing milestones such as birthdays 🎂 and other special events.
Compared to what many Christians are facing all over the world, this is nothing, I know. I honor those of you who are “enduring hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ”, because, “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a good soldier”. 2 Tim 2:3-4. You were CHOSEN to be a solider for Christ. What a great honor! You did not choose Him, he chose you. John 15:16 says, “ You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you”...
When we started this blog we had no idea that so many people from so many other countries would be reading it. This has caused me to have a great sense of responsibility in what we write in this blog.
I know many of you are Acts 2:38 born again believers, and I’m guessing some of you are not. If you have not obeyed the Acts 2:38 teaching on salvation, I urge you to do so. Read the Bible, and compare it to current world events. The return of Jesus Christ to this world to rapture His church is so soon now. This is the reason we have left our precious family and a very comfortable life in the US to come to Belize as missionaries.
If any of you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
May God bless you ,
Carolyn

Meet Pablo and his family

Image
This is a story about God’s pursuit of man. A few weeks ago the power in our house went out. Since it was a hot day, I decided to do my bible reading out on our porch to try to catch a cooling breeze. As I was reading, I heard voices on the street below our house calling up to me. I looked over the railing and three women. They told me they were looking for  domestic work and did I know of anyone that was hiring. I told them I was sorry, but I did not. They smiled and started to walk away. As they began to leave, the Lord prompted me to invite them up to sit and rest and have something to drink. They gladly accepted my offer, as is common here. As we talked, they began to open up to me as to why they had to look for work outside their homes.  One women told me her husband had passed 3 years ago and that she was trying to raise  three children on her own. The other women, Pablos wife, shared with me that her husband was an alcoholic, and was therefore drinking the families money away.

Raising a ‘Gibnut’

Image
While we were in line to get our lunch between services, we saw this Gibnut in a cage. The Belizians love the meat of this animal. This one was destined to provide them with a tasty barbecue someday. I have not personally tired it, (to my knowledge) but I would, given the chance. The Gibnut is a very sought after animal to raise and eat.  We were told it is very expensive to purchase Gibnut meat in Belize.

Belize City Service

Image
This next set of pictures were taken in a church service in Belize City. This is a Spanish speaking church. You can see Missionary Dwayne Abernathy preaching with the help of an interpreter. I love these pictures of  a little girl and a grandmother responding to the presence of God they felt in this service.
