A Trip to the Belize Zoo (in the rain)!
A Tapir (the national animal of Belize). Can it be any uglier?!

We stand amazed at the goodness of our God, for His leading and continued faithfulness to us. We pray all is going well with you all. These are exciting days we are living in and it is a blessing to know the Holy Spirit is always present to lead and guide us as we remain in loving fellowship with Him.
I flew out to Hawaii on Friday, and am attending the Prayer Strategy conference with the Global Leadership Team for YWAM. This is a new and exciting step for me but I am assured this is the Lord's doing, so that brings a sense of peace and confidence. Please be praying for me that the word of the Lord will be clear to me and that I would be granted boldness to speak when I should. I will be rooming with our director for the Caribbean so I am looking forward to special times of fellowship and for what God wants to do in our region and globally in our mission. Please visit www.ywam.org for daily reports of our meetings in Kona.
Thank you all for your prayers for our family in this time. We appreciate each one of you and thank God for your friendship.
With Love,
Jason & Sara

SURGERY on my baby?!
Thank you SO much for your prayers for Keilah and all of us the past day or so. We all HONESTLY felt your prayer covering in this really challenging situation. Keilah is home now recovering from the minor surgery performed at a Seventh Day Adventist hospital about 30 minutes from our house.
Friday night the Pediatrician met us there and confirmed our suspicions of appendicitis. By 9:00pm we were in our scrubs in the surgical room with one of the best surgeons in the country beginning the procedure. (For "some reason" he was the one they called that night!) Keilah was asleep for the entire procedure and doesn't remember a thing. God's hand was evident for the 45 minutes as I physically felt the "peace that passes all understanding" and was almost able to smile while I watched the doctors perform the meticulous maneuvers on Keilah.
We were informed that patients who undergo surgery are normally monitored for 48 hours after the surgery. Keilah and I (and many of you) prayed that we would be released early and recover in the comfort of our own home. Only 12 hours after the surgery the doctor examined Keilah and asked if she would like to go home immediately! We were overjoyed and thankful beyond belief for God's merciful hand on the entire event. Thank you to friends and family who dropped by the hospital with words of encouragement and gifts of love, emails and phone calls that poured in confirmed the love of God to us. We appreciate what all of you have done to help us through this.
We ask that you would continue to pray for Keilah as she recovers and tries to take it easy for the next few days! We also ask that you pray with us for the unexpected costs of this surgery. The total cost for the procedure was over $2600 and if you are able to help please click the donate button to the right with PayPal or send gifts of any amount to:
YWAM Accounting Dept.
Box 3000
Garden Valley, TX 75771
* Please make checks payable to "Youth with a Mission" and enclose a note specifying for "Jason & Sara Andrews"
Thank you again so much. Friends like you all make terribly difficult times easier to walk through. We love you all and thank God for each of you.
Love,
The Andrews and Gramma Sally!

Here's a quick update to keep you in the loop. Things are going well down here in Belize and we continue to seek God for His purposes as a family and for our nation. Thank you so much for your friendship, we are always so excited to share of God's faithfulness to us and to Belize.
HAWAII On August 29th I will travel to Hawaii to attend the YWAM Prayer and Strategy Conference in Kona. This is a very exciting opportunity and I are honored by the invitation to represent the Caribbean alongside our regional director Bill Landis. Spending time with him and other YWAM leaders is always a joy, and I am especially eager to sit before the Lord with these leaders and ask for God's vision and heart as we plan and strategize for the future of YWAM internationally.
Please continue to pray for this trip and our family, as the Lord leads you. We are still in need of some finances to cover the hotel and food expenses for this trip and ask if you would join your faith with ours in this time. Sara and the children will stay in Belize and welcome her mom who arrives the day I leave.
GEORGETOWN Jason is in Georgetown this week, with the DTS on a local outreach/lecture phase week. (Georgetown is a small Garifuna village in southern Belize). The guest speaker, Larry Allen from the School of the Bible in Tyler, Texas is sharing with our students AND some young people from Georgetown, whom we know through Legacy. It's a beautiful moment of time with the blend of cultures coming together at the feet of Jesus to learn of the Fathers love. The group will return to YWAM on Friday.
UNIVERSITY On Monday morning Jason went to the University of Belize to register for his first semester of "official" classes. He is enrolled part time, and we thank God for the opportunity to "get a foot in the door" at that institution, even as the new YWAM Belmopan campus is taking shape. Our heart continues to grow in passion and vision for the UB students as we recognize the future leaders of this nation are currently being educated at this school. The cover of the orientation packet, handed to me Monday morning, confirmed these exact thoughts, it reads: "Poised for New Horizons: Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders".
Thank you so much for your prayers for our family in this time. Again we love you all and pray that you are blessed and encouraged by what the Lord is doing among us. We look forward to hearing what the Lord is doing in YOUR life, as together we seek to make His love known on the earth.
Blessings and love,
The Andrews

Legacy Conference July 2008
Thank you so much for your prayers for the Legacy Conference last week. It was again, a powerful moment in history with the young people in Belize. The overall theme for the conference was “Covenant” and youth streamed from 4 districts totaling about 70, representing almost all the ethnic groups of Belize (and some new churches participated)! A couple groups from the south braved the threat of flooded/washed-away bridges! We are thankful for each student who participated, they were not disappointed – our faithful God met them – and the youth were aglow as they left on Saturday after a series of prayers of anointing over the students.
The new DTS students fully jumped in, serving right alongside the Legacy leaders in worship, small groups, prayer, and kitchen duty! Guest speakers included internationals from Norway, Trinidad and Tobago, alongside those from Belize. It’s a joy to see God use a variety of gifts to bring about His purposes in the lives of these young people.
Some highlights from the conference included a DTS student and staff member doing a dance while another DTS student drew an artistic sketch on an easel while they danced. It was INCREDIBLE to feel the Holy Spirit move through these different gifts to bring glory to the King. During the worship times some youth shared that for the first time in their life they felt the freedom to express worship to God. Another boy shared that he was healed from back pain! It’s beautiful what God can do with our willing adoration of Him!
One boy shared how teaching from Legacy a couple years ago about “Bad company corrupting good character” had challenged him to make changes in his associations. His young relative had attended Legacy also but chose to continue living in gang warfare, and currently lives a violent lifestyle. He has been sobered by the downhill path of his relative and saw what a difference obeying Truth has brought covering and blessing to his life. Also, he found grace to forgive his parents for favoritism, drunkenness and threatening to abandon the family.
Another girl spoke about being convicted by the Lord and then hearing the young boy’s testimony, she began quickly deleting phone numbers in her cell phone and wiping out contacts. THESE testimonies motivate us to continue pushing for this generation. We firmly believe God IS helping these young people choose “life”, daily and specifically. It’s humbling to see these youth, who live in compromise take a serious look at their choices and the direction they’re headed. Many asked hard questions and got prayer in small group times. It’s all worth it…
One new aspect of this conference was the community outreach time. Many of the students had never led someone to the Lord nor done any kind of evangelism or outreach of any kind. We split up into 7 different small groups and went out into the village and neighboring communities. Neither the rain or the bus getting stuck in the mud would stop the groups from launching out! While one group was preparing to leave they heard their fellow students being interviewed live on the Christian radio, telling what God was doing in their lives during the conference. Another group had the multiple kids of a poor family hanging onto them while they assisted the mom with her list of chores, and yet another group at two orphanages were interacting with the kids including creative skits and giving touching testimonies. (One of the Legacy students was himself was from an orphanage). A group of the youth went to the hospital and met with patients, while another group was pouring cement at a church/doing basic construction. Most of the groups also criss-crossed the village doing street/conversational evangelism. At least two teams were able to lead someone to Christ during their community outreach time, and since neither had done that before, it was certainly new and exciting for them. Most of the youth reported how pleased they were to have been able to go out there despite being scared at first, and how surprised they were that adults let them pray for them!
God is certainly doing a new thing in these young people’s lives. We again, are honored and humbled to be a part of walking beside these youth. It’s a joy and a privilege to share with you what your prayers have accomplished. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, we are grateful to you for storming the gates… May God continue to bless you and impact the nations through your sacrifice.
Hello again!
We want to let you know about the DTS that started here on July 1st. We have 6 students from 3 countries (pictured above). They are in the 3rd week of lecture phase and are each having an amazing time with God. Last week's theme was "Nature and Character of God" with our friend Jason Hague speaking. It was an incredible week for everyone, staff included.
The students also were asked to pray and write down a region they feel God would want them to go to for outreach. All of them wrote South America! In the next few weeks we will pray together as a school as get specific direction on which nations we should go to on outreach.
Please pray for the students and staff of this DTS, expecially Omar and Alyssa Myrie who are leading this school. As things are progressing with the YWAM Belmopan property we felt the need to pass on the DTS to the Myires in order to give more attention to the new ministry in Belmopan. In prayer, we're considering the possiblitity of pioneering a DTS amongst the University students as well, which will take place in the summer due to University students demanding schedule. Omar and Alyssa have worked with us in DTS for a number of years and we feel confident in their leadership ability. We continue to provide oversite for the school but have released the daily activities and leadership to the Myries. God has each of these students here for this season and will be faithful to complete the work He's started in them.
Thank you for your prayers and faith as we continue to lean on God for His leadership in our lives.
Blessings,
Jason & Sara

Prayer for us at the YWAM conference in the DR
Hey Guys,It is always a joy to share with you what God is presently doing in our life and the work He has called us to. As many of you know we just got back from the Caribbean regional conference in the Dominican Republic. It was a blessing to get time together with our wider YWAM family from the Caribbean. It was a blessing to have our YWAM President John Dawson with us, and also Alejandro Rodriguez from Venezuela. The word of the Lord to us in this season is to prepare for the expansion God will be bring forth, not only in YWAM but through out the globe. We feel called into a season of preparation.
One of the highlights of our trip was the commissioning prayer time for me and Sara to be the new directors of the new YWAM Belmopan Base. It was a blessing to have our leaders surround us and release us into this new season of our life. It was also good to have Pastor Scott & Cheryl, and also Sara's parents with us for that moment in time.
In August I will be going with our Regional director to the Global leadership meeting in Hawaii. This is where the international leadership team for YWAM meet annually. I am honored to be asked to accompany him, and look for ways to continue walking in the Destiny of God for our life. Please be praying with us as we step into this new season.
On a different note those of you who know me, know that I live with a dream for Revival and reformation to take place in Belize. I have been feeling new grace and strength from the Lord in this season and last Sunday night at Church it was really powerful. I believe we are close to stepping into something bigger here in Belize. Please be praying for us, for the wisdom and fear of the Lord in this season. These are exciting times and want to thank all of you for being a part of it.
Thanks to all of you who keep standing with us through the years as together we seek the advancement of the Kingdom of God in the Earth.
Under His Authority,
Jason & Sara Andrews

Hey Guys,Well, our hearts are over flowing with gratitude to our God for His wonderful presence which was evident in our last Legacy gathering. There were young people from over 20 different churches, a total of about 150 students and staff. (Housing and feeding that many people was a challenge and our hats are off to the crew at YWAM for taking up the challenge and doing a fabulous job!) We are convinced that the Holy Spirit did minister to the hearts of all who attended the conference last weekend, including the staff who were blessed to experience the closeness of the Lord. Often during the Legacy conferences we are driven to our knees, weeping at the intensity and passionate worship arising to the Father from these young people. They truly desire more of God and desperately want to bring honor to Him in their daily lives. We are witnesses to the continual progression of what God is calling these young people to. It's beautiful to see the growth and maturity in some of the young people that we've known since the beginning of Legacy over 4 years ago.Many of these young people are now heading into University. We feel the next four years will be some key years for us as we seek to prepare this generation to be influential in ever sphere of society. (Please visit www.ywambelize.com for the "vision statement" for the next few years at the YWAM Belmopan Campus). By the grace of God we see vision and purpose in the eyes of these young people. We are looking forward to the upcoming events this year, including a local outreach in Belize this summer with the young people and international outreach to Barbados with some of the youth leaders. Also, we have four more conferences planned for this year and will continually visit the youth groups and walk through the challenges of life with them. We are praying for God's wisdom in addressing issues that are presently facing this generation.Thank YOU for your prayers for these young people in Belize. God has done tremendous works in their hearts and your prayers of faith have brought about incredible changes in their lives. This past Legacy conference was very successful and we give thanks to God for friends like you who dare to believe that this generation can walk in holiness before their God.

My Wise Doctors
OK....
So in school the other day we talked about doctors, what they do and why we have them, why we should pray for them, what it would be like to be a missionary doctor and stuff. For play time I suggested that they pretend they are doctors. So the kids went and got all dressed up in white shirts and black pants. (So funny to see Elijah in one of Keilah's fancy white shirts...!) Anyways, so they come out and introduce themselves to me.
I said "Hi, Dr. Judah and Dr. Keilah." and shook their hands.
Keilah said "And you are...? Miss Sara?"
"Yes" I said. "I have a problem Dr. Keilah,... I'm always tired."
She said, "Hm. The house does look like a mess. Let me check your reflexes." She hit my knee with a pencil - no response.
She said, "There must be something wrong with your brain."
Indeed!

Pray for Elections in Belize Thursday
Hi friends and family,
We would like to ask for some special prayer cover over the next couple days. Tomorrow Belize will be having General Elections, to vote for who will lead our nation for the next 5 years. Please pray with us in this time, God wants to do something significant. There have been a lot of distractions in this season and we feel it's possible that the enemy is trying to bring distraction to turn God's people away from prayer and calling forth the destiny of Belize. The more caught up we are with distractions and warfare the less we tend to focus on prayer, faith and coming into agreement with God's plans.
Some background here,... We inherited a British Parliamentary system, which is good, but works best with more than two political parties. Britain and Australia have 5 or 6 each. So coalitions have to be formed (relationships) from the working out of issues, everyone pressing to represent their constituents, and the result is democracy! But with two political parties (like we have in Belize) it's winner takes all!!! This 2 party Parliamentary system is ripe ground for political cronyism, which is what has crippled us. The people get angry, pendulum swings, one party is out, the next one is in and they try to reap the way the other party did. The process starts all over again.
Presently, the people are angry at the blatant corruption that has taken place. There are accusations that it's a "rigged" election... and a potential for violence if the enemy isn't brought into check. We need to pray for a peaceful election process tomorrow. PLEASE join us as we see God raise up the next leader for this nation. Thanks so much for standing with us.
