For those of you who are interested in government and stuff like that. You should take a look at the numbers here. Some guys won their area by a landslide (over 1,000 votes) while others only won by 15 or 16 votes! It was a very peaceful, exciting election. Thanks so much for your prayers for our nation and our furture.

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.
