We do it again early Friday morning. They're planning for us to leave at 3AM to make the trip back to Belize City then water taxi to an island where we'll have a chance for some recreation and then spend the night before tracking back to the airport Saturday. All the kids are healthy and doing well, getting along great and sleeping well. So parents don't worry, I believe you will be surprised by the experiences your kids share and how their eyes have been open to the variety of God's people. They've all been in front of the church leading worship and doing things that even surprise me, it's been awesome. I don't know if we'll have another chance to e-mail before the end of the trip, maybe when we get back to Belize city. We'll see you soon, Kevin on behalf of Team Belize Fri, 8 Aug 2008 12:57:45 MST http://www.salem-bible.org/app/w_page.php?type=group&id=78 http://www.salem-bible.org/app/w_page.php?type=group&id=78&article_id=158 Each of the teens have been giving their testimonies in the evenings at our youth rallies and all will have done it before we leave. They have been working with more than a hundred kids every day at VBS and doing an excellent job. Their doing a great job connecting with the local people and representing Christ. Continue to pray for energy as tonight and tomorrow will be a challenge to stay enthusiastic as our tired bodies press on.

There are four major goals: 1. Add additional space 2. Bring the grade school and Sunday children's activities under one roof 3. Consolidate the High School classes in the gym area 4. Convert the Old Church to a Youth Center The Building Program has several parts: 1. Convert the wasted space above the hallway along the auditorium by extending the adjoining 2nd floor rooms over it. This will allow the existing toddler room and teacher's lounge to be used as classrooms. The office between them will become a teacher's lounge. This project is funded and will occur this summer if we can get all the approvals in a timely manner. 2. Convert the Old Church to a Youth Center. Rearrange main building and gym room use to accomodate all children's school and Sunday School activities. This will happen by the start of the 2008 - 2009 school year. 3. As money becomes available, build a 10,000 square foot, two story addition to the North (parking lot) side of the Gym. This project will start by building an unfinished (shell) structure with the intent of using volunteer labor to install and finish the interior. When completed, this addition will provide a new Chapel, a new home for Junior Church and four new classrooms. The classrooms will be used for adult sunday school and high school classes. Take a look at the plans here. There are six slides. Click to advance.

We landed safely in Belize and were greeted with the heat and humidity and our Praying Pelican Missions staff. We loaded the bus and made our way through Belize. We stopped on our way to Punta Gorda to a festive place called Cheers. We took our group picture and had our first of many Belizean meals. After lunch, we were on our way to Punta Gorda. We passed through Belize’s capital, Belmopan, the rainforest and the mountains. Four hours later, we made it! Our first welcome was the breeze from the ocean! We unloaded and organized our luggage then sat down for dinner. We had our first group meeting where we reviewed rules and guidelines then prepared for the week to come. In no time, the exhausted group drifted off to sleep. Before you know it, our first day in Belize had come and gone! What a great day! God had truly blessed us with travel mercies and the grace of His beauty. First Full Day in Belize! by Amy Colley August 3, 2008 at 02:24 PM Beautiful morning! We woke up, had breakfast and got ready for a new day! This morning, we lead the entire church service. We divided the church into Sunday School classes. Pastor Kevin lead the adults while the youth lead the children’s class. After a spending time in God’s word, we all gathered back together for the worship service. We led praise and worship and shared our Stick Creation Drama. The locals really seemed to have enjoyed it! Kevin did a great job of leading the service. He has a gift for making his sermon connect with the people. The team got back up again to perform the awesome drama to the song, “Everything.” Teary eyes were the response to Dave stepping back in to rescue Hannah. After the morning service, we gathered for lunch. We had a time for Mission’s Training where we learned conversational areas. Now, we are going around our community inviting the locals to VBS and our youth rallies. Next, we will have some free time to prepare for tonight’s service and take a swim in the Atlantic ocean! We look forward to another great response from the night’s service. Be in prayer that we will be intentional about building relationships and connecting with the locals. It is going to be a wonderful week! Marvelous Monday! by Amy Colley August 4, 2008 at 02:24 PM What a bright beginning to a new day! We started our day by having our personal quite time and devotion, breakfast and last minute preparation before our first VBS. Who knew that our first day would bring in 101 kids! It was really fun and we had a great time making our “gospel colors” bracelet. After VBS, we had our lunch then planned for tonight’s youth service. After lunch, we sweated it out on the local basketball court and soccer field for our sport’s ministry. We are able to incorporate Jesus and His love through our actions and a small devotion. The kids here are so loving and excited! Right now, we are on our way back to the church to start our construction project. We will be serving the Pastor of the church by painting his house for him. This project is going to be great way to just help him out personally. After our service project, we will have supper and finalize everything for the youth night. We are all excited! Tonight will be fun and encouraging! It will be neat to see how different teens from another country respond to the same Lord that we have. What an awesome opportunity we have! Please be in prayer for the ministries that we are doing day by day; ministries such as the children’s ministry, the sports ministry, the service ministry and the youth ministry. Pray that God will be the focus in all that we do. Pray that the Belizean people see something different in us, something that stands out. Pray for that “something”, to be the hands and feet of Christ. Glory to God! Terrific Tuesday by Amy Colley August 5, 2008 at 01:25 PM Terrific Tuesday! Today we woke up, had quite time then breakfast. We eagerly awaited the arrival of our VBS children. It was not long before all the “monkeys, elephants and toucans” poured in for the second day of VBS. That was not the only thing that poured in today! When it rains here, it pours out in buckets! We had a down pour that stopped the rotation of sports, however, that time was used as we danced and played in the rain. Moving from station to station, we played the role of mother hen. We had kids huddled under our ponchos and tucked in close to our sides. The rain turned out to be a blessed hindrance. It was so much fun! We all gather back into the church for a juggling show by Kevin. The VBS children loved it! This just goes to show you that God is still in control even when He is out of our control. God did a great job of providing the rain and a flexible heart. We had such a great time. Tuesday! by Amy Colley August 5, 2008 at 01:27 PM After a rainy and blessed VBS, we had our lunch and began to prepare for our construction project. We are painting the Pastor’s house. After construction, we will partake in our first mercy ministry. We will be visiting shut-ins and others who are not able to make it to church. We will be sharing the love of God to these people. Pray that as we go out, that our actions and words would draw others into God’s kingdom. After our visit into the community, we will invite the community to be our guest at tonight’s youth service. Last night went perfect and we can only anticipate God showing up and showing out again tonight! Be in prayer for us as we serve this community. Pray that we will be the lighthouse that this coastal community needs. We are praying for you Tara with baby Silas and for Seth’s brother Zach. Take care! Wonderful Wednesday! by Amy Colley August 6, 2008 at 05:03 PM Today we woke up, had our quite time then breakfast. We headed out for another adventure in VBS! The kids are finally getting the songs and singing them to us! After a great time with the kids, we had lunch then loaded the bus. Today we went to "Nim Li Punit", an ancient Mayan ruin. We saw things that were created even before this century begun! We enjoyed our time there: taking lots of pictures, imitating the stories of the Mayans and trying to play “hip-ball”. We came back to Punta Gorda where we were able to have a little free time and swim in the ocean. Currently, we are having our dinner and planning for our church service tonight. These youth’s nights are incredible! People are stopping off the street to see what is going on. How great to be able to tell them that it is simply God moving. Pray for Him to continue to move through the Belizean’s heart. Wonderful Wednesday by Amy Colley August 6, 2008 at 05:14 PM Today we woke up, had our quite time then breakfast.

Last night’s youth service has motivated us to give all that we have and to do all that we can! God is being so obvious, so evident to us. It is really amazing to see Him in everything. We woke up, had our quite time and breakfast. It is the last day of ministry, we want to give it all that we got! At VBS this morning, the kids had finally gotten the idea of our VBS. The “Monkeys” sat where they were supposed to and everything went smoothly. We have been going through the Gospel colors and today was yellow for Heaven. We had the opportunity to present the entire plan of salvation this week and praise God that some decided to follow Jesus through that! We have come all the way to Belize, Central America and to be able to make a difference in just one kid’s life is completely worth the journey. After VBS, we had some free time to organize our donation item’s for tonight’s closing service with the church. We just had lunch and now, we are finishing up our construction project. We are finishing the painting to Pastor Brooks’ house and painting the girls restrooms. After construction and the opportunity to look back and see all the physical, visual work we have done, we will head inside the church for our closing meeting. We will just get a chance to express our gratitude toward the church for letting us come and for providing a place to sleep and eat, “Thank you’s” to the Pastor and his family, to all the cooks and to all the people that made this week a success. After our closing service, we will engage in an activity called “Prayer Walking.” We will take this opportunity to pray over this community and pray for the people we may encounter along the way. There is no better to close off this wonderful week of service than to lift these people we have serviced up in prayer. We will meet for our last meal in Punta Gorda. After dinner, we will have a concert full of worship and praise! Burton Brooks, one of Praying Pelican Missions staff is in a band called “The Heavelies”. The Heavenlies are the number one gospel band in Belize and they are putting on a special concert just for us and the community! We are all so excited and have been looking forward to “Busdriver Burt’s” performance! After the concert, we will have time to organize and pack our luggage. It will be an early night tonight! Two o’clock in the morning comes pretty early! Continue to pray that we will make the most of this last day of service here in Punta Gorda. Pray that we will run this race and fight the good fight. Pray that we give today all that we have and to make the very best of it. Praise be to God!

I know you have been able to catch up with some things from the Praying Pelican website, but I'll try to give you some more information briefly. The team is doing wonderfully. They have adjusted to some pretty primitive living conditions compared to what we're used to but Beth and I are amazed that there has been no complaints. There are big bugs, cold water only showers, chicken everyday, sometimes twice, flatjacks for breakfast and a lot of burritos, rice and beans. Warm water is the norm for drinking. The Bay of Hondorus is literally feet from where we sleep and the storms have come sudden and often, usually once or twice a day.

A group of people seeking to learn more about Christ; how to live as a Christian and yearning for a closer relationship with a few people, meet weekly or biweekly in homes. We study, have fellowship and snacks, talk about issues that effect our lives and pray. We seek the Lord's guidence for opportunities to be in service to others. Many Home Groups welcome children and have activities for them separate from the adults. The groups meet at different times of the week in the neighborhoods around the church. There is probably one in your area. Information on our current Home Groups is listed on our Find a Group page.

Pastor Kevin, "PK" to those who know him well, was born and raised in East Greenville, PA, on a 27-acre farm that has been in his family since the 1700s, and his family's good testimony has been widely respected in the community for generations. At the young age of 6, he came to know the Lord through the leading of his mom. It was in1980, when he was in the 6th grade, that he began attending Salem Christian School, and continued to do so until he graduated in 1987. After graduation, he went on to receive an associate's degree in liberal arts from Pinebrook Junior College in 1989, and began working as a mechanic at a garage in Bechtelsville. It was during this time that Pastor Kevin began coaching soccer at Salem Christian and helping out with the youth at Salem Bible Church. He had been mentored and influenced himself as a youth by many teachers, coaches, and other people at Salem, especially Pastor Dan O'Brien. Pastor Kevin met his future wife at Salem, and through working in her parents ministry, the Puppet Pals, and continuing to volunteer as a coach and youth leader, he began to realize that he was not finding fulfillment as a mechanic, but rather in his ministry with the youth, and God began to stir in him the desire to serve full-time. Beth Howard and Kevin Schultz were married in 1991, and in 1992, the Lord opened the door for him to become Youth Pastor here at Salem. He continued ministering to the youth until he completed his BS in Bible from Philadelphia Biblical University in 2004, when his ministry took on a more adult role at Salem as program director, which also included being in charge of the order of service for Sunday worship time. Over the years, the Lord has blessed Pastor Kevin's family, which includes 2 children, Megan and Philip, who have also served with him at times during worship, as well as in short-term mission trips. His wife, Beth, has previously taught 2nd grade at Salem Christian School, but is currently using her elementary education degree to serve in the Brandywine School District. She can be found Sunday mornings serving behind the visitor table in the foyer, as well as using her hospitality to welcome new families into her home to get to know them. Pastor Kevin's responsibilities include helping the other 2 pastors by filling in preaching when needed, leading the worship service, overseeing the church staff, and heading up large events. His passion is to see Christians grow in their relationship with the Lord, and his way of facilitating that goal is by helping new people get connected, acclimated, and involved at Salem by helping them ascertain their needs and gifts. It is his desire and vision that Salem be a haven for the community, a place where people can find refreshment and renewed energy in their Christian walk, and where families can serve together. Pastor Kevin is currently pursuing a 3 yr. program at Biblical Theological Seminary in Hatfield, Pa, where he will receive a Masters in Divinity. He also uses his carpentry skills by making cabinets for a local organ company on the side, and in his very spare time, enjoys playing basketball and golf.

Gilead Summer Camp in August. They all agreed it was an "awesome" experience. Jess wrote the following as a "Thank-You" to the Salem Church friends who made this possible:"I want to thank you for taking the time and money to send me to Mt Gilead Summer Camp. It was amazing. I really enjoyed all the activities and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Words can't say how much I appreciate you sending me to such a wonderful place where we were able to make friends and learn amazing qualities in ourself and others."Sarah wrote: "Never before have I had a great experience learning about God and other things such as canoeing and rifle. Thanks so much!" Courtney added, "My cabin was the best because there were funny people. Camp is the best so you should go there because you can swim and go to the Tuck Shop". Zoe and Tashana agreed that the staff was all very nice (and funny) and it was good to have lots of activities and get to know God better. They both say, "Why don't you come along? It's FUN and you would make lots of new friends."
