January 2007
Dear friends and family,
Greetings from Belize! I hope that you are all having a good 2007 so
far!
I would like to say a
special thank you to everyone that sent Christmas cards and gifts. It was so nice to be thought about during the
holidays. We had fun displaying our
cards in the house. We have pictures of
our Christmas decorations in our Photo Gallery if you would like to see
them. Ann Marie was spoiled rotten by
family and friends sending gifts. We
appreciate it very much.
There are many exciting
things happening in the southern region this year! We are glad to be here and be a part of God’s
amazing work! As we mentioned before,
Mount Zion Baptist Church in Independence is adding Sunday school rooms and
bathrooms. There are work days scheduled
in January and February to work on the beams for the roof. San Juan Baptist Church is plastering the
walls inside the church. Each member is
buying a bag of cement for the job. They
hope to be finished by March when a team is coming to do construction on the
church. A new church is being built in
Silk Grass Village. The church had their
first work day the 13th! The
support columns were poured the following week and a team is coming in February
to put on the roof and to install the windows, and doors. Hopefully, they will be able to meet in their
new building soon! Light of the Valley
Baptist Church has started adding a 40x40’ addition to their church. The concrete has been poured for the floor
and they are working on the corner posts.
Punta Gorda Baptist Church is in the process of acquiring land to build
a new church and will host the Southern Region Association meeting January 27th.

Of course, the project that
we are hoping will be started soon is the children’s home. On New Years Day, Jeff, Chester, John and
some men from San Juan walked the property.
They found the property to be flat and easy to build on. We are hoping the land will be leased to the
Baptist Churches of Belize soon and the land can be cleared and ready for
construction. The day they walked the
property, there was a beautiful rainbow over the land – a promise that God is
in control. The excitement of all the
men was evident when they came back talking about the land! We continue to ask for your prayers for this
project to be underway soon. Remember
when you pray to thank God for all He has done to this point to get this
project moving.
Rainbow over Children’s Home Property
We were blessed over the
last 2 weeks to spend some time with Brandi, a seminary student, here in Belize
for a class on Mission Immersion. She
stayed with the Ritchie’s in their home here in San Juan. She had a Vacation Bible School in the
village and helped the ladies cook lunch for the school children. We were glad she went with us to Placencia
before she returned home.

Mount Zion Baptist Church is
growing quickly and we have divided the youngest class of Sunday school. I am teaching Ann Marie’s age group. I am enjoying it very much. Some of the children in San Juan expressed
interest in having an English class. In
addition to the ladies class, I have added a class to help them with their
reading skills. We will be working on a
different book each class focusing on different Bible stories. They will be learning a memory verse
also. Please pray for these classes.
It is starting out to be a
very busy year and we are ready to be a part of it. Thank you for your prayers and support! We love and miss all of you.
In Christ,
Jeff, Tiffany, and Ann Marie
