Baptisms in the Caribbean Sea
Heidi Baker wrote a text message back
to us the other day saying that we would "find the greatest treasure
yet in Belize." A Belizian man named Godfrey who our team adopted into
the tribe in Corozal is definitely this greatest treasure.
.
We left Corozal the other day on a journey to Dangriga. Along the
way we stopped by the "Blue Hole" to swim and explore some caves. Our
arrival in Dangriga was a bit sketchy as we weren't sure where we were
going to stay. But after checking out a few spots, we found just the
right place at Jungle Huts Hotel, where they are letting us stay in our
RV's and pop-up tent trailers for free.
.
Yesterday Godfrey had told us that he wanted to be baptized as he
has chosen to follow Jesus Christ since we met him and prayed for him
in Corozal. So this morning, we walked with him to the Caribbean Sea to
baptize him. While at the beach, Ben led another young man named Kareem to Christ and we baptized him as well.
Others from our team witnessed to others at the beach. There is so much
joy in Godfrey as he has truly been set free by Christ.

After
doing some fishing during the day and catching quite a few catfish, our
team had a time of worship in the afternoon and then headed to a park
to do an evangelism outreach. Jesse had already gone and talked to the
mayor earlier in the day to get permission to do so. When we got to the
park, most of the children we talked to had already received Christ and
go to church regularly. So we just played with them. loved on them, put
on an adjusted version of the luchador skit and prayed with them. To finish the night we came back to the hotel and ate the fish that we had caught earlier in the day.
