DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING SCHOOL
July 17th we started the school with 8 students. There are students from the U.S, Canada and Belize. Their first week was orientation week, getting them familiar with what they have to look forward to in the school. Then the second week they were pushed full on into ministry/class with the Legacy Youth Conference that was running. The students are in the process of going deeper in the things of God and finding out what they really believe and applying it to their lives. Everytime John and I help run the school we ourselves receive new revelation. It's awesome!
LEGACY YOUTH CONFERENCE
This year the Legacy leaders were totally blown away with the turn out of youth. What we thought to be a 30 person camp soon turned into 85 by the night of registration! These youth are hungry for people to be real with them. We had a powerful week of teachings by a guest speaker, Larry Allan from YWAM Tyler, Texas; as well as amazing times of worship. Patti was able to be a part of the worship team again, although had to do a bit of running in and out! It was an awesome week with great testimonies of what God did in these young peoples' lives!
Testimonies:
"Last year when I first attended Lagacy Youth Conference, I didn't know what to expect. Honestly, I thought that it was just another youth camp. But my perception of what Legacy was would soon be changed. My first night into the worship session was like something from out of a horror movie. To see teenagers act like that: praising and worshiping God so passionately. I thought to myself while watching them with a really scared look on my face, "...Lunatics!!!" I'm proud to say that by the end of that week in Lagacy, I too was a Lunatic. We were all Jesus Freaks. "
"What a transformation this camp has had on our son. He's in the word daily; I just e-mailed our pastor in the U.S. giving him the great news. Our son is like a sponge; he can't seem to get enough of the word and prior to last week, would sleep through any bible discourse. Not anymore. Kindly convey these sentiments to John George and the rest of the Legacy Team- We've regained our son!!!!"
Please pray for these youth that came and received from God that they will be able to stand firm in their own environments. Thanks.
GEORGE STUFF
We want to thank all of those who have been praying for us these past couple months. It seems Belize has been going through some MAJOR warfare issues from the governement on down. Apparently, witches from Haiti have been invited to Belize to perform.. whatever it is they do, which has explained the increased demonic activity this past month. We believe it's been prayer that has kept assignments from the enemy at bay.
John was in an accident last month while on the way to pick up his family from the airport. He was passing a vehicle when that vehicle proceeded to cut into him and run him off the road. He was fine with only a minor cut on his finger from the glass!! The YWAM van he was driving wasn't so fine... only cosmetics though....As he looked back over the track he had come, it was a miracle how the van passed lamp posts and other obstacles. PRAISE GOD!!
We have heard of several leaders who have had similar incidents across the nation of Belize. There was also a murder of an American teacher at a Christian School and University here in Belize who we knew. We were not that close to him but several of our friends were, a real tragedy.
Please continue to pray for us as we take place in what God has for Belize!!
A HAPPY NOTE:
Evangeline is doing well. She is 4 months now and is so amazing. Her little personality is coming out. She has started rolling over and her new hobby is spitting... kinda cute but really wet!
