Belize

Kirk had the opportunity to go to Belize for a week in February. He and Andrew, our Director of Student/Mercy Ministries went to check out ministry opportunites where All Souls could serve. Andrew has a passion for Belize and has spent the past three summers down there working with Word at Work. As a result, on May 23 All Souls will send its first missions group to Belize and an area called Valley of Peace. I can't believe all that God is doing in the life of All Souls. God is building a church right here in front of our eyes and it is beautiful!

Another picture of Banana Bank Lodge. Kirk said it was a jungle. He emailed one night and said there were monkeys and a jaguar outside. I emailed back and said I hope they were either caged or stuffed.

The children at Orange Walk School.

The school at Valley of Peace. It is a Catholic school.

Kirk said they told them the yellow building on the far left was so unstable that a strong wind could blow it down and this is where the younger children are kept during the day. Any time a storm comes through they evcauate the building.

Kirk said this cute little boy kept wanting him to take his picture and then let him see it on the digital camera. I love that sweet face!

Andrew emailed me this picture he took of Kirk at Orange Walk School. I love it!
