Redemption in Belize
« on: March 30, 2015, 08:27:13 PM »
Hey All!!

Had a testimony....I recently (2 weeks ago) went on a mission trip to Belize (small central American country right below Mexico). It was my 1st time out of the USA and my 1st mission trip. It was amazing! Our team prayed for the villagers (Mayan Indians) and and we had restored marriages and physical healings!  :D All Glory to God!!  :D  The village I preached in even had a snake show up right behind me and the Indians stomped on it!

So of course I smuggled in some redemption cards....Some blue packs and starter decks. The kids didn't know how to play and we had so many, so I gave them out as "Bible cards." However, at the hosting Missionary's house his 2 sons were interested and I taught them the basics and gave them starter decks (E/F, I/J) and some blue packs.

I am going to mail them some old cell phones in a few months and I was also wondering if anyone in the Redemption community had any extra cards they wanted to offload that I could ship the the Missionary kiddos. If so, Just PM me and I will give you my address and I will ship them in the box when I send it with the cell phones.

Oh, If you haven't ever been on a mission trip...just GO!!! It doesn't matter if you don't have this degree, that experience, blah blah blah....all you really have to have is Jesus' love in your heart and a love for others.  :D

That is so awesome. I would be happy to help put together some stuff for them. Any ideas what you would like to have included? Want some sleeves for them? Deck pouches? Etc?

that's encouraging.  I was on a 2 week mission trip to Belize when I was 16 over the summer and again when I was 17, I've been there twice, of course, that pre-dated redemption since i'm 45 now.

This is wonderful.  What are we looking to send? I could get some cards together or some $$$ to help pay shipping, etc.?

Awesome guys! Thanks!  :D As far as what to send them....
Just pray about it and send whatever God puts on your heart.
They already have 1  E/F starter deck and 1  I/J starter deck and a few Blue packs.

Whatever I send over I haveta send in a box because the missionary told me that was the best way because customs/corrupt government would not mess with it as much. Also they would not have to drive 6 hours across the country to pick up a package in the capitol (Belize City/Belmopan), where apparently the packages go.  I'm sure shipping would be a bit expensive.

White and gold-That is so cool! I as talking to a drunk Irish energy UN scientist on the flight back to Miami and he told me Belize was basically still in the 70's technologically speaking ever since the British left.

Here's my address:

Fort Mill, SC, 29715
