Billie White
Today, on Belize's Pan-American Day holiday, about 40 people used their time off from work and school to repair the new church at Billie White.  Using machetes, volunteers cut, gathered and burned the tall grass and weeds that threatened to overtake the church's double lot. Workers stayed from morning until late afternoon, and enjoyed a lunch of chicken and rice provided by several women from Central Farm Church.  The grass is now almost cleared, and the church walls are complete from floor to ceiling.  For more information and to see pictures from the build, please visit our Construction Projects page and Photos page.

With a fiery sermon in which he called workers to reap souls before it is too late, guest Pastor Amos Gentle led Santa Elena in the first Harvest celebration of the season.  42 members of Santa Elena, including Santa Elena Pastor Mark Armstrong, marched with cakes and fruit in a display of thanksgiving and devotion to God.  After the service, church members sold cakes, fruit, nachos and flowers to raise money for the church.  More pictures from Santa Elena's festival will be available for a limited time in Photos.

In lieu of a service, members of Teakettle English Church gathered to watch "Fireproof," a movie about faith in Christ and the struggles of marriage.  The movie stars Kirk Cameron as Caleb Holt, a firefighter whose marriage is crumbling because he and his wife barely communicate and have lost the will to love each other. At the urging of his Christian father, Caleb sets out on a 40-day quest to save his marriage, using the book "The Love Dare" as a guide. He ends up learning how to truly love his wife, after he is saved by the love of Christ.  "Fireproof" has been called the #1 inspirational movie in America.

Tonight, Johnny and Jill Chiang opened their home to members of Bethel Disciples for their annual Moon Festival party. About 30 people came to eat food from Taiwan, Korea and India with the Chiangs and enjoy their warmth and hospitality.  The festival was originally celebrated in worship of the moon or moon goddess, but now we can use this time to worship Christ in fellowship and celebrate our unique cultures.
