Big dreams. A VERY big God!

10/26/2011

Hi my friends!  Wanted to bring you up to date with a very busy summer of ministry and moving.  First of all, let me tell you about our incredible ministry trip to my old home, Belize!

I have been beside myself trying to figure out how I could possibly relay to you the impact of this trip on both our team and the Belizeans.   We asked God to be glorified in every aspect, and He definitely was!  
 
The BEGIN Team:  I wish you could personally meet every person of the team.  They were so amazing!  We had a VERY full schedule---22 services in 14 days, not including the children's programs right before the adult services.  Every single person was up and ready and positive and so willing to be used by God.  No one complained about a thing.  They loved the Belizean people, the country, the sites, the food, and maintained their senses of humor in spite of the heavy travel, pouring rain, mosquitos, and long services.  I was thrilled and so proud to have each one along.  

The Belizeans:  WHAT A JOY!  A 2-fold one:  1.)  We were able to see how my Dad's work has not only continued on, but florished, and it was so incredibly touching to speak to congregations that have been faithful---and growing!---for over 40 years.  My sister Debbie (who went, along with her husband Dennis) and I reconnected with old pastors, grade school and high school pals, members of my dad's 7 churches, and missionaries that have continued the work.  2.) We went to a lot of the new churches too, about half of them Spanish.  There is a huge contingency in Belize from El Salvador, and the missionaries are responding to the need by planting churches all over.  

The Gospel:  We were able to present Christ and His gift of salvation and forgiveness of sins in all 22 services and give an invitation to accept Him.  We don't have a head count of how many accepted Him, as Belize people are very shy and it is hard to even get them to raise their hands, so I always had them repeat the prayer if they wanted to accept His gift.  So the Lord knows.  But it was evident every time that the Spirit was moving in hearts.  Such a sweet, sweet spirit every single time.  

The missionaries and pastors:  NT and Joy Dellinger took over for my dad when we left in '68 and have been there ever since!  What an amazingly faithful, loving pair.  They, along with a team of 4 Belizeans, planned our services and all the details of the trip.  We not only got to minister with the pastors of the churches but with their trainees who were our drivers and interpreters when needed for Spanish churches.  A lot of bonding and visiting with their families and seeing their work for the Lord up close.  

Bibles and books:  We were able to distribute all the Bibles, Bible studies, Magdalena DVD's, and the Freedom books we wrote everywhere we went.  People were hungry for them.  THANK YOU for your donations to make this possible.  

You:  Thank you MOST OF ALL for your prayer support while we were down there.  There was not a day when we didn't feel very covered with prayer.  And the stories of things that went wrong (a van that stalled every time we stopped!  no dinner because of service times!  losing a box at the airport of all my props for speaking!) and the way God smoothed paths and answered prayers were directly related to what we knew we had in the way of prayer covering and support.  When we had yet another answer to prayer we'd look at each other and go: "Yep!  They're praying!"    
​
There was not one time I felt nervous or stressed, and that is the power of prayer.  The God of Hope truly does fill us with joy and peace as we trust in Him!

WOMEN'S MINISTRY DIRECTORS, MEETING PLANNERS ... are you planning your 2012 and 2013 events? Consider having me or Bessie & Beulah as your guest speaker. 
 
Joy, no matter what you're going through. I will bring a powerful, life-changing message on how to have the joy and fullness of life that is found only in Christ and a surrender to Him. I have learned that obedience to God's Word and an intense desire to be like Jesus and follow Him are the absolute keys to real joy and the only way to buffer life's storms. 

Before you say, "but we can't afford it" ... check out my speaker information and then contact my agent at Christian Speakers Services. You may be pleasantly surprised!

Just arrived in Austin, TX this week to start a new chapter of our lives ... living near our three beautiful grandchildren. So we are unpacking and settling in while enjoying being close to our oldest two children and their families. 

While we unpack, please take a break and watch this video.
