Tuesday - Travel Day

We are all in Belize, but Satan had a field day trying to stop us from getting here!

The second group arrived at the airport at 4am and some were interviewed by the local tv ... Why in the world were we at the airport at that time of day? Those interviewed did an excellent job of telling about our mission trip.


There was rain from Charlotte to Atlanta.
One group was so late from Charlotte to Atlanta they would have missed the connecting  flight to Belize. However, the plane for Belize was not even there yet. Satan tried to bungle this, BUT GOD made certain the team was all in Atlanta so we could travel together.



If you look closely - there is an extra face in the crowd. A reminder that throughout this entire trip, there is another face in the crowd ... the face of Christ.


We were worn out from the early morning and long day of delays.
There are more stories of God's graciousness as we got on our final leg ... but some stories have to wait to be told when we get home. As we proclaimed on the plane (that we sat on the tarmac in for over an hour) 'God is good!'


We easily made it through customs and met Pastor Ron. We were greeted by a passel of kids who eagerly loaded our luggage onto the bus and then sang and laughed the entire way to the misison.


Pray
for us to allow God to lead us where He wants us to go
for open hearts and minds - both in the community and the team
for Eddie - he is very congested
for safety as we begin work on the house tomorrow

God is good. All the time!

Amen

Kelly, the boys and I miss you and hope you slept well your first night away. I did get calling set-up on your phone and it should be active. Just dial "00" then "1" and our phone number. Can't wait to hear from you.

God Bless and Good Luck to you all.
