Our Church planned the mission trip to Belize from July 5-11, 2024. A few days before the trip, hurricane Beryl showed up. Both Belize and Houston, TX, were in the storm’s direct path. The airline notified us of possible delays and cancellations and advised us to change travel dates for free. The prayer seminar has been advertised, and pastors and members from different churches have signed up to attend. To reschedule the workshop given the weather situation will be understood, but would that not negate the importance and power of prayer? Is the storm beyond God’s power?
One of the lessons taught in the prayer seminar is about prevailing prayer, which is “holding on to God tenaciously, claiming His promises, reminding Him of them, and refusing to let Him go until He intervenes in the situation in His own way.” God answered the prayers of His people by diverting the storm away from Belize and delaying its arrival to Texas. We had on-time flights from Chicago to Houston and Belize City. More people than were registered showed up for the seminar on Friday evening, all day Saturday, and during worship service on Sunday.
It was a gift for Rev. Sunday Bwanhot, ECWA USA DCC Chairman to celebrate his 68th birthday on Monday, July 8, while on a mission trip that was a blessing to many people and potentially will impact the churches and Belize for a long time to come.
Thank you to all our faithful prayer partners and financial supporters. God’s Kingdom work advances through teamwork. God alone gets the glory, and He showers blessings on all participants. Thank you!
