Cheers

Josh, Dave and Estuardo, who drove the bus, enjoy a few relaxing moments as our crew enjoyed the beautiful gardens and birds surrounding Cheers.

Arrival

We arrived 11:30 Belize time. Pastor Brian was the last one to get through customs after they searched his luggage. We boarded the Body and Soul bus on our way to Cheers for lunch.

Delores and her children Christina, Caroline & Johnathan were one of the families selling beautiful handmade jewelry & woven baskets. Their faith in God was amazing & they have Bible studies in their home

Pastor Domingo, Joshua and Josephina "Joe" work to support Domingo's ministry

Winding Down

After a great meal cooked by Yevette, we were all winding down but so very expectant for what God would do.

Day 2 Bible Study & RAIN!!!!

Scrambled eggs, bacon & Fried Jack for breakfast. What a treat! Bible Study with Pastor Rhaburn on backsliding. Everyone participated in the class. The rains began to blow gently through the screened in walls of the Thatch, dining hall.

Working Hard

After Sunday Bible Study, the guys sort though some of the stuff brought and give some things to the children.

Sparky, Cutie & Grace keep watch of the compound. The dogs in Belize are not super domesticated.

Pastor Frank Waldo Preaches Sunday Night

Faith Baptist Church

Sunday night services at Roaring Creek. The music was soul-piercing and God's presence was keenly felt. What an amazing night! Testimonies, children sang and the Holy Spirit moved from door to door and window to window! Thank you, Jesus!

Digging out the foundation for Pastor Miguel's house in Camalote

The guys will take just one day to dig the foundation

Fausto rests in the hammock. Every hour someone comes to pray for him. He had an ulcer and now a tumor. He only drinks water and some pedialyte, when available.

Anne and Verna were able to start a small discipleship class in Camalote beginning with faith building truths in I John. Doris Reyez was kind enough to interpret.

Anne was able to share with the children who came with their mothers on Independence Day. They were excited to hear about feeding the 5,000 and Peter stepping out of the boat to walk on water.

Jerome and Ulanda Jones with Noel. Ulanda came to Christ because of a Gideon Bible.

Pastor Brian's class for pastors, their wives and other leaders in the church.

The creek near Camalote is used for washing. There are only two stones so it's first-come, first served on a sunny day. They get clothes very clean using a bristle brush and lots of rinsing.

This little fella spends his days near the clinic.

Wes and Jason helped fix the sound system at Biblical Road Church in Camalote.

Our last discipleship class at Biblical Road.

Story telling time on Wednesday. The lions went hungry when Daniel got there but God shut their mouths.

Ralph N. Digman was the founder of Body & Soul Ministries. Early on October 16, 2017, he saw the face of Jesus and it took his breath away. He is now at the feet of his Father. Ralph touched so many people both in the U.S. and in Belize. He was a mighty servant of our Lord. Please pray especially for the love of his life, Penny.

If you wish to honor Ralph, Penny has asked that a donation be made in Ralph's memory to Body & Soul Ministries, P.O. Box 2339, Church Hill, TN 37642.

Rest in Peace good and faithful servant. We all miss you!
