Glory Revealed

Wow.  All I can say about today is that God was definitely making himself known.  We started the morning off with a prayer and devotion time, praying for our day here, as well as our Westwood family and Pastor Matt as he was preaching his first Sunday today.

We loaded up the bus and headed to Pomona church to lead their children's church service.  We were all eager to go and worship with such a sweet group of kids, get to lead them through small group time, and share the gospel as opportunities presented themselves.  This was such a sweet time for us all, and I hope that the kids enjoyed it as much as we did.  One thing that my son had told me before we came to Belize was that he was looking forward to making new friends down here.  My heart melted when he said that he had the best day ever, playing and getting to know new friends.  He has 4 new friends according to his count.  I am sure that many more are to come.

This week, we will be leading VBS Kingdom Rock Belizian style.  We will have girls at one place and boys at another.  Logistically, it could be a nightmare, but we know that God is in control.  He has handpicked the boys and girls who will be coming and He has a plan for us.  Tomorrow they will be learning that God's love helps them stand strong.  We pray that we can be a living example of God's love, and that the kids will have open eyes, ears, and hearts to see, hear, and feel that.

In order to prepare for the week ahead, we prayer walked at Holy Angels and ITVet today.  God poured Himself over those places and is covering each and every square inch of those properties.  God has already shown us favor in so many ways, and I don't expect Him to stop now.

Tonight we joined together outside at the restaurant/hotel where we are staying.  We had church right at our tables.  Once again, God was all over the place.  There are very few people who come to eat at the restaurant at any given time, but tonight as we were getting started with our worship and sharing time, a party of about 15 people came to eat.  They were from the States, and hopefully they have gotten a glimpse of God's glory.  Praying for more seeds to plant in them.

As we go about our week, pray for opportunities to share the gospel and make Jesus the hero of our lives.  God uses us to reach the next generation for the Gospel.


Psalm 78:5-7

English Standard Version (ESV)
He established a testimony in Jacob
    and appointed a law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
    to teach to their children,
that the next generation might know them,
    the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
    so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget the works of God,
    but keep his commandments;
