February/March 2009 Newsletter:
Graduation of five students from the Baptist Bible School of Belize (BBSB), a new Executive Secretary Treasurer (EST), new staff at the Baptist Training Center, new churches sending teams to Belize, CBFNC members participating in the Baptist Association of Belize (BAB) General Assembly, a Belizean pastor studying for his Doctor of Ministry at Gardner-Webb - what a year for Belize missions!
Leaders and volunteers from the BAB and CBFNC had productive meetings on the same weekend as the first graduation of BBSB and as the BAB General Assembly. The Partnership Covenant was reviewed and a focus on building the association was named the common goal. Another CBFNC leader, Rick Jordan, spoke to the Pastors Summit in Belize on January 31, 2009.
Thanks to Scott Hagaman's advocacy, Pastor Norman Willacey was able to enroll in the Doctor of Ministry program at Gardner-Webb School of Divinity this fall with GWU providing free tuition, fees, and books. Norman hopes to use this degree to help him develop a Baptist college in Belize. Bob and Rhea Lamb are providing him with housing and local churches are needed to pay for his airfare. FBC-Marion, FBC-Lexington and CBFNC paid for one flight each for August, October and January.
