Belize STM
July 13, 2013
Hi Everyone,
Thank you all for your prayer support.
Our team has arrived safely in Belize yesterday afternoon. Right
after checking in our hotel, we went to Belize Chinese Christian Church and
were treated with a delightful dinner made by the church members. The dinner
was also a great opportunity for us to get to know them, and our youth quickly
bonded with their youth, some of which would join us in the missions work for
the following ten days.
Today, because of rain, we went to the youth hostel instead
of the flooded Pickstock area. As you may know, many of the youth in the hostel
were there because of some troubled past. After given the brushes and rollers,
we started painting the white base layers for the murals in the front of the
kitchen building and the classroom, Then our art team, comprised of Craig,
Kevin, Ivana, and Jessie met with some of the youth in the hostels to discuss
what we should paint on the murals. They shared the same vision of painting
positive, encouraging images and words.
We are building relationship with the people we met. I saw
Andrew listening intently to our Belizean bus driver. I saw Adam, Caleb, and Jessie
laughing with the youth in the hostel. I saw Craig sharing stories with the
artist who will design the mural at Pickstock. I saw Jimmy, Kevin, and Jonathan
Zhang having a good time with the Belizean church youth.
Please pray that when some of go back to the youth hostel on
Monday, we are able to finish the murals and that the murals would be a message
of hope and our prayer of blessing to the youth there in the hostel. Please also
pray for a better weather so we can begin the mural project in Pickstock.

Thanks for the update Chii! Will continue to pray for your work in the hostel. May God give the wisdom to the team to put a encouraging image on the mural."Establish the work of our hands" 我们手所做的工愿你坚立. Psalms 90:17
