Because we love the souls of men and want them to go to heaven, we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul knew this burden and said, “I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:14–16). Because we love the souls of men, we are not afraid to speak out against sin. We know that passions of the flesh “wage war against the soul” (1 Peter 2:11). Because we love the souls of men, we preach the need to follow Je- sus. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. “No one comes to the Fa- ther except through me” (John 14:6). Because we love the souls of men, we point people to what is best. The Lord Jesus came to bring us an abundant life (John 10:10). His yoke is easy, and His burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30). He is the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). He is “our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30). We can do no better than to preach Jesus and Him crucified to every soul in every place who will hear. —Phil Sanders Author of A Faith Built on Sand and Adrift Speaker for “In Search of the Lord’s Way”

We are supporting two fulltime ministers, Melvin Davis in Belize City and Clayton Guzman in Corozal. Brother Melvin was the last convert of Lu- ther Savage and six years later he became the fulltime minister form the church in Belize City. In addition he also would ride the bus to Corozal and preach there every other week. In 1981 he graduated from the Preston Road School of Preaching in Dal- las, Texas. Following graduation he returned to Belize City to continue preaching for the church there. Clayton Guzman was converted during the campaign held in Independence in 2004 and with our support he attended the Jamaican School of Preaching. Upon graduation he re- turned to begin preaching full time in Corozal where he contin- ues to serve as one of our missionaries in Belize. Clayton is very enthusiastic in his work and is well known by the people of Corozal. Both Melvin and Clayton have been very active in helping us during our campaigns, traveling with us to the city where we will be working. Both have used their vans to help transport our luggage and the campaigners, and both have been active in helping to set up home Bible studies in the city where they live. Both have also helped in conducting the personal in home Bible studies. Both Melvin and Clayton are godly men faithful to the Lord and His church. We have been blessed to have such capa- ble men working with us in the country of Belize. The church here has also been conducting campaigns in Belize since 1971 and there have been thousands of people who have heard the gospel preached in our meetings and home Bible studies and hundreds that have responded to become children of God. The campaigns have been conducted by a number of our members who are responsible for paying their air fare while the church, through the giving on Mission Sunday, pays for the motel and eating expenses. To continue to carry on this good work we will need to have those willing to go and those who are willing to send. Paul had the support of the Philippians church (Phil. 4:15-17) and those going from here have had the support of the church when it was located in Woodlawn, in Roebuck , in Pinson as the Deer- foot Church of Christ. If this good work is to continue we will need to continue to give as generously as we did last year on Mission Sunday. The third work we are supporting in Belize is the Belize Bible Institute. This is a branch of the Sunset School of Preach- ing located in Lubbock, Texas. The school has two primary goals. One is to provide Christians with a deeper knowledge and understanding of Scripture. The second is to make Chris- tians far more effective in ministering to the church and to the lost. Sunset International Bible Institute has schools set up in twelve of the Pan American nations. The school in Belize is number thirteen. The classes are taught by professors at Sun- set from Lubbock, TX in real time. We have taken the responsi- bility for the hub of the school that is meeting in the building of the Belize City Church of Christ. The study program includes eight intensive courses taken over two years. There are four terms per year, with each term lasting eight weeks. There is one course being taught each term. There is also a supplemental weekend seminar with the teachers. Deerfoot has been asked to supply the tools needed. These tools are: (1) an internet connection (High speed and HD); (2) a web camera and a large screen, and (3) software download (Vidyo, skype, google meetings). Each of these works is important but like any work they also require money. That money has always been through the free will offerings of this church. We have always been encouraged by the generosity of the brethren here and are praying for and expecting a great response this May seventh on Mission Sunday. BELIZE We have a large group de- parting for Belize on Friday, March 24. Please pray for the safety of this group and that we may reach the people with the gospel. Those going are: Angela Adams, Gary & Jeanette Cosby, Debra Dominic, Michael & Joshua Dykes, Ron & Bar- bara Fields, Rick & Marilyn Glass, Mona Jenkins, Seth Lewis, Frank Montgomery, Kenny & Pam Rachal, Lauren Gray, Dennis, Katelyn & Morgan Washington, Melvin Davis, and Clayton Guzman.
