Summer Update

First, sorry it has been so long since we last updated our blog!! We hope everyone is enjoying their summer! It has been a busy summer for Fishers of Men so far.

We have had 3 teams come down. We hosted a small group of high school seniors from Faith Christian School (Grapevine, TX) for a few days in late May. They worked at the Cayo Deaf Institute (CDI). They removed an old ceiling and also painted the exterior of the same building we worked on in January. The highlight of the time was interacting with the staff and students at CDI. They are such an encouragement to us each time we are there!

The 2nd team was a survey team from FBC Trussvile, AL. They are interested in ministry possibilities in 2011 and beyond. It is always a pleasure to show others what the Lord is doing in Belize! Pray for them as seek direction and guidance on partnering with FOM.

The 3rd team was a group of teenagers and adults from AL. The hosted a VBS at San Ignacio Baptist Church June 25-July 2. Tropical Storm Alex provided some obstacles the first couple of days but God provided a great week of ministry! We averaged around 90 kids each day. The VBS consisted of Bible stories, recreation, crafts, etc. The team did a great job in presenting the gospel and 5 kids trusted Christ, while many more seeds were planted. We have already been invited back in 2011! Please pray as we seek how to further minister in and through San Ignacio Baptist Church. It is a great opportunity for FOM to partner with a local church. Plan are already underway for VBS 2011 and possibly adding ministry to preschoolers and the Moms during this same week next year. We will post more detailed info and some pictures of this trip in the near future!

Thank you for your support and prayers for Fishers of Men. Buddy and Kathryn are entering the final couple weeks of serving in Belize for the summer. They have assisted with a couple of others teams ministering in Belize. Please continue to pray for them as they get settled in Belize and become involved in their local church there. There are already several new ministry opportunities coming our way.

Please pray as we are planning for several teams in 2011 and where to serve. Already, there are 2 teams in January and 1 in February.
