Friday Follow Up - Thanks, Apology, and Prayer
Hey Friends!
Wanted to touch base quickly as Kenny and I are in Mississippi visiting churches we work with here - happily missing a snowstorm in Texas.
We had a great response to our request for iPhones - thank you!
Our Wednesday message might have been unclear; we are looking for an electronic piano keyboard - just in case someone local has one to share, please let me know.
Would you please pray for TWAW Staff and Teams? We are headed into our busy March season - six groups from Texas and New Mexico will be on the ground March 7 - April 4 in Belize! Groups will:
• Come alongside the El Progresso community to help build a home;
• Begin the transformation of Ebenezer Church in the Burial Grounds in Belize City;
• Work with the young women at Youth Enhancement Services;
• Continue construction on the Omega Church in Shawville as well as work with the Christian Sewing Partners of Belize Cooperative there;
• Bring the Gospel through worship to prisoners at Belize Central Prison;
• Present Girl Power to the King's Home girls;
• Assist Gomer's House in Belmopan with their land preparation;
• More sewing in the Valley of Peace;
• Check out the Belize Gospel Expo;
• Plus follow God's lead each day, looking for opportunities to serve Him outside our regularly scheduled programming;
• Oh, and our TWAW Board will have their annual retreat!!
Please keep us covered in prayer - we're grateful for your partnership!

Photos and Good News
Here up-front are this week's requests ...
• Anybody upgrading their iPhones? We can use a couple ... 4's or newer
• Help with some expenses incurred with Gabby and her mom ... to date $1,050
• Anyone have a new or used Keyboard?
Rare photo ... like seeing an Eskimo in a Speedo ... is capturing a Belizean shoveling snow. Our own beloved, Kenny Logan, is up here with me in Northern Texas. We are visiting some of our church partners. Tomorrow we visit churches in Mississippi.
Gabby is doing great. This week was a big event. She got to stand up and walk on her own two legs for the first time since even before coming to Amarillo. The excitement brought her and her mom both to tears. However, she still has a couple months of wound care and intensive antibiotic care ahead of her. So we have lots of things planned for her. Thanks to some caring supporters she has glasses and clear vision like she's never known.
And thanks to another great partner, Saint Andrew's Episcopal school, she now receives tutoring so she doesn't fall behind in her education. Here she is pictured with Jan Koesjan from St. Andrew's.
Our Ministry Associate team gathers school supplies, toys, and stuffed animals through out the year ... we've discovered blankets are an ongoing need as well, so please be saving them, too.

Praises!!
Greetings from Belize, Friends,
There's much to be grateful for in today's message ...
One of our areas of focus in Belize is providing resources for those providing medical care in this under-resourced country.
This includes shipping life saving medical equipment and supplies (see below).
Another aspect of this is bringing our partners together like 26:12 (the mission-focused arm of Accolade Home Health in the US) and Belize Hospice and Palliative Care Foundation ... right now volunteers are preparing for at least 125 caregivers, physicians, nurses, and public health workers who will attend a 2-day conference at Banana Bank.
This is a big deal and we're really grateful ...
We also work to coordinate care for devastating medical cases that might otherwise have no hope. Talk about GRATEFUL...we've just received word that Gabryella's tests came back showing no tumor in her thigh bone! Instead, a nasty infection has been discovered...left untreated at the rate it was developing Gabby might not have made it through - but thanks to God's swift movement, she will be treated here, and both life and limb will be saved. Thank you for your continued prayers ... this is REALLY good news!
And then there are our Ministry Associates ...
Maybe you'd like to join this merry band of bargain finders who assist us with gathering items needed desperately by our numerous partners in Belize? I'm highlighting a few items here...Our warehouse is practically bursting as we work to get the last $1000USD needed to ship the next container. We'd love to ship 8 containers this year - praying God will provide the resources to make that happen.
• Stoves for feeding programs all over Belize
• Commercial grade sewing and serger machines for factories born out of Christians Sewing Partners of Belize
• Portable dialysis and sonogram machines for clinics and hospitals
Our Ministry Associate team gathers school supplies, toys, and stuffed animals through out the year ... we've discovered blankets are an ongoing need as well, so please be saving them, too.

Thanks for your partnership in our mission.
