WAW Wednesday: Tour and More

"The Word at Work is a ministry that mobilizes churches and individuals to answer God's call to minister to those in need," writes Rev. Tim Tam, Director of the Amarillo, Texas-based ministry. "Through our relationships, God reveals needs and opportunities for service. As we come along side the poor, new friendships develop and doors for ministry open. As we serve, God provides the resources to supply for the needs he reveals."

Tour and More

Hello, friends,

Many of you responded to last week's message...it's encouraging to see how many of you read our mid-week missive!

I mentioned that we are looking for new blood on our staff to help us reach the next level God is calling us to -- specifically we are looking for a Director of Development -- a faithful, energetic person who will build a fundraising program for us from the ground up. It's an exciting opportunity! Would you share this job description with any qualified contacts you may have? Maybe God is calling YOU to a new chapter?? Email me with any musings you might have on the subject - thanks!


ROAD TRIP!!!  We love our friends and partners in the US - so much, we think it's important for them to spend some time with our Belizean staff on the US! If you've been to Belize with us, you'll recognize these two:

   

Project Manager Kenny Logan (left) and Assistant Project Manager Jose (Chepito) Valencia will embark on a whirlwind tour with me next week! If you live in Roswell, Clovis, Lubbock, Midland, Austin or the DFW area give us a shout at the office and we'll see if we can make connection! We have several churches and partners scheduled to visit as we follow up on an incredibly busy and blessed March in Belize. Please pray for us during our road trip, May 15-23!

I'll leave you with this thought ...
We were contacted this week by a scholarship student; he wrote to tell us how his life was transformed by the encouragement of two gentlemen he met on one of the islands we utilize for our debriefs. He was beaming through his message as he shared his GPA for the past two semesters and the confidence he felt returning to college. This is a beautiful illustration of the truth that poverty is less about money or resources and more about feelings of inferiority and powerlessness. This student has God-given talents and abilities, and a small interjection from others changed his attitude, driving him to succeed. Who will you encourage today?
