Hancock Hallelujahs<\/p>\n
by Gene & Liz Hancock<\/p>\n
It has been a whirlwind of activity this summer. We have grown so much in Belize that it was necessary to have back to back Vacation Bible School teams to get around to all the churches.\u00a0 There is only so much time to do VBS, along with\u00a0 our annual Youth Camp and Women\u2019s Conference\u00a0 in the month of July. This year our last three teams flew out and in on the same day, which was necessary to conduct all of the VBS and ministry. Next year promises to be even more challenging.<\/p>\n
I am dedicating this newsletter to the memory of Karen Boggs as she was a staunch supporter of Belize.\u00a0 She always told people I was her Belize mom. She and our daughter, Barbara, were very much sisters and flowed well together in ministry as did all the ladies and men on the Belize Team. As we all know, the first place you go on a missions trip will always have a special place in your heart. Karen’s burden for Belize began before she ever set foot on the soil in 2007. What some of you may not know is that Karen started the first toy drive that ever came to Belize around 2004.\u00a0 She called it \u201cA Missions Minded Christmas.\u201d She and Bishop Ray were our Pastors at that time and she was ministering to the Youth of South Greenwood PH. This toy drive continues today; Dana and Megan Corley, a mother and daughter from Batesburg PH in South Carolina, are heading it up now.\u00a0 If you are interested in participating, please contact: dcpaso@yahoo.com.<\/p>\n
We are so thrilled that our conference,\u00a0 other conferences, churches, and individuals have expressed a desire to be a part of the \u201cKaren Boggs Memorial Tabernacle\u201d on our campground property in Belize and\/or\u00a0 the teams which will be coming to work on this project.\u00a0 There will be a small group here on September 30th to begin working on the roads leading to the campground and the electrical work as well.\u00a0 This was already planned but is something that must be done before we can begin work on the Tabernacle.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your constant prayers, encouragement, and support.<\/p>\n
