Omar Reyes is point over all our missions ministry at NorthWood. Last May, at our Glocalnet Conference, several businessmen and government leaders from his Carribean Country of Belize attended. As a result of their attending the Glocalnet Conference, they invited me to come and speak to them on Transformation. So, last week Omar and I headed down and spent all day Saturday speaking on Transformation. It was a blast. The question was, "Is the Gospel only good to get me in heaven, or should it make a difference in society?"
Belize is a small country of 280,000 people with a rich history of missions. Yet, it is one of the poorest countries in the world. It was a fascinating meeting. Approximately 200 Christian leaders in business, education, and government were there--all asking the question. There may have been 10 pastors in attendance. Wow! A religious conference of laymen wanting transformation using their jobs and influence--when will we learn.
I was privileged to have breakfast with Prime Minister Said Musa. Senator Anthony Chanona was there, as well.
