For our Dear Friends


We are living in intense times, not only in Belize I’m sure, but we continue to push forward in the work God has called us to.  Over the past two years, as you know I have been co-hosting a daily talk show that quickly became the most popular show in Belize.
Not only is crime, corruption and mismanagement rampant in our country but now the strong homosexual agenda and abortion issues are taking center stage and threatening our nation’s constitution.  I have taken a firm stand in representing and fighting for traditional family values in Belize.  Somehow, I find myself on the forefront on this issue, fighting for truth and justice along with other “mighty men of God”.  I believe the years of YWAM training has empowered me for this season of my life.  I can’t remain silent while our moral foundation is under attack.  
Over the years, I have been approached numerous times to consider running for office in our area.  I always brushed it off because I love the work I have been doing in YWAM.  However, over the last year the stirring has intensified in my heart, and in the past month our present government has boldly declared that they will become the liberal party in Belize.  
Sara and I have prayed much and counseled with many about the possibility of serving in the realm of governance and feel a release to move forward.  While we know it won’t be an easy road we see the need for godly individuals of principle and integrity to represent our people.  We share with youth about the need to influence all spheres of society, and live out our Christian values in whatever area of society we function in.  I believe it’s my time to step out and be a voice in the area of government.  I have been training individuals who are more than able to continue leading Legacy and YWAM Belmopan and over the years we have built a strong team to carry these ministries to the next level.
Realistically, there will have to be a convention in November, however general elections will not be until 3 years.  We want to express our thanks to you for standing with us over the years in prayers and financial support. The next three months will be busy and if I win the convention in November it will still be two an a half years until general elections. November will be a big step in giving us more clarity about the future.  If you have any question please feel free to ask, as always we love and appreciate your input into our lives.    

Blesssings to you and your family.

For God and Country, 
Jason and Sara
