Grady- Belize Bound~~~~

Grady, along with Jim and Jake Sebens; take off for Belize tomorrow bright and early. They look forward to seeing and fellowshipping with many 'old' friends! Grady will be gone for 8 days. One of the goals of the mission trip include meeting with a few people whom Grady (and Jim and Jeremy K.) have been witnessing to in Belize and who are open to the gospel. In addition, they will be visiting a very sick young lady whose family has grown very close to ours and who we hope to bring some cheer and prayers to! Amanda organized an effort to put together an album for the sick young lady.. thank you to all who took the time to make a page for the scrapbook. It will be such a blessing to her, I'm sure. Jim and Jake also met this special family while visiting Belize in November and look forward to spending some time with them also.  Grady and the guys will also be helping some very dear friends of ours settle in to their new home in Belize. The couple, who is from Oregon, will be living very close to Spanish Lookout. Grady and the Sebens will be arriving 2 days before them and hope to get the house opened up before heading out to Belize City to pick them up from the airport. This couple from OR has such a heart for the Lord and feel called to go and preach the gospel in Belize. We very much look forward to heading back down there next Spring, Lord willing so that we can come and join them in their ministry.
Grady, Jim and Jake also really look forward to visiting the Succotz family, Maria and a few other families who the Lord has put in our lives. Just days ago we received a sizable donation of $500 in the mail for the mission work in Belize. Praise the Lord! This donation will help with finishing Maria's house as well as school money and medical expenses for two families who need help, including the Succotz family. Also with the donation Grady hopes to purchase some Spanish tracts and bibles from a book store and distributor . In addition to this donation, the King family has also been a very big financial support to the Succotz family as well as helping our family too.. Thank you! We are so grateful for the donations, both large and small and pray that the Lord will take and multiply them and grow his Kingdom! Please pray that as they are able to hand out these funds and tracts in Jesus name that He would receive the glory and that there would be openness to the true gospel and that there will be a revival in the hearts of those whom he is drawing. Thank you for your prayers!
