Good day! </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474843538396_27441" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
1) This is planned as my last weekly distance learning update before my attention will be focused in other ministry directions, with a few exceptions. Aside from individualized emails, for any future distance learning updates please look to the announcement section of the distance learning Web site. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474843538396_27442" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
1a) As one of my remaining connections, I am currently revising the Christian Doctrine/Christian Theology course to be a Christian Doctrine/Christian Theology course with an Anglican perspective, instead of an additional course focusing specifically on Anglican Doctrine/Anglican Theology. It may be finished in a few weeks.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474843538396_27444" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
1b) When I have finished that project, another of my remaining connections that I am planning will be to work with the Main Administrator to turn the current notes and slides from the individual courses into Kindle-based documents that can be downloaded from the Internet. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474843538396_27445" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
2) One of our students is nearing the very end of the final course in the program. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474843538396_27446" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
3) These courses will be open for the rest of 2016. Beginning in 2017, I plan to be the Benefactor of the course Web site, to keep it open for all of 2017 and for as much as I can beyond, but I won't know for sure how this will work until January 2017. </div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1474312498881_55549">Regarding the distance learning program with Belize, I have arranged for the program to continue via a Main Administrator for technical matters, a Course Design Director, and a Dean of the Faculty (coordinator of the faculty). I plan to continue in the roll of Benefactor for the time being, and continue as Director of the diocesan seminary until my replacement is named. One of the upcoming projects to be undertaken by the Course Design Director is a confirmation curriculum for the diocese, all things being the same.</span></div>

I plan my handoff of the remaining parts of the program to take place when this person has finished the final course, and soon. That means: some information will be passed along, some training to go, my being available for questions, and so forth.</span></div>

Dear friends,</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46379" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

Lately we have been asking you all to pray for discernment, yet not with any preconceived agenda in mind. At long last and in the past day or so, it has become really clear to Julie and myself that the way forward that God has in mind is for us to become Associate Missionaries with SAMS. Sometimes the answers are about timing.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46381" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

What does this transition mean? </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46381" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

In terms of Belize et al, we are moving in new directions and away from missionary work (official change date is October 1st, and because there is a fair amount to do, please keep your financial support and prayer support coming our way through September). </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46381" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

In addition, we are planning to continue as canonically resident clergy in the Diocese of Albany, and we plan to continue with our other avenues of ministry which started out simply as ways to supplement our mission work and which have developed a life of their own. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46381" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46381" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
It means:</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46385" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

1) Prayer support would be appreciated as long as we keep the prayermails going. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46388" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

2) The following are anticipated matters related to Belize that may continue after October 1st:</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46396" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

2a) I may need to keep the distance learning Web site open for another year for any residual courses if a student may need to take to finish up, and for anyone else who might be taking courses. One of our supporters pays annually to keep the site open - thank you. In terms of distance learning at this point it is more:</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46398" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
i) my monitoring the student's progress, </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46398" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
ii) my issuing certificates of completion for the student's two remaining courses, and </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46398" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
iii) my issuing a certificate for the student's having completed the overall program.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46399" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

2b) If the Bishop of Belize needs an officially designated person as Examining Chaplain and/or Director of ATI, I may need to keep my name there as a placeholder, so that there is some continuity, until he finds my replacement. Most of my work might be by email or Skype. He may want to be thinking about replacements in time for Diocesan Synod this year, in October. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46402" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

2c) Shut down what I can of my temporary Diocese of Belize Web site as soon as I hear from the Diocesan Secretary that the new permanent site is set up. I have begun transitioning in that direction this past week. The Diocesan Secretary in Belize told me this week that at long last (since 2014) they finally have a way forward for a diocesan Web site.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46405" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

2d) I might keep a title such as "Director of the ATI Distance Learning Program" until the Web site closes down, so that one of the students has a way forward. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46408" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

2e) I may make a trip for the unveiling of the Spanish CPWI Prayer Book if there is one. The Prayer Book is scheduled to be printed in September. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46410" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

You have been very faithful supporters, both in prayer and financially. We can't thank you enough. We have enjoyed your company since we began our odessy in 2008, through our adventures together in Peru, East Africa, and what God has had in mind for us in Belize.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46410" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

4) We (all of us - you included) have made a tremendous difference wherever we have been. I plan to keep the prayermails and monthly newsletter up and going through September. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46410" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

5) Each of you has been important to us. In particular, Torre got me started on this prayer mail idea. Jeanne has been faithful in getting the word out. Tom Gizara has been our advocate. Bill Schrull has been our faithful tech support person. And you have been faithful. The cast of helpers has been thousands more. And thousands of people have affected/will be affected by what we have been doing in one way or another, on at least three continents. </div>

6) We have many friends because of our mission work. You are one of them.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472573068054_46410" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

7) I also appreciate all that my family has been through on our behalf through it all, especially Julie and Lydia, as well as the help that we have had from all our family members in their supporting roles.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">As I write this, the country of Belize
is recovering from Hurricane Earl. The Church in Belize is not a wealthy
diocese, and that is one reason why the Church depends on people like myself to
help, people who are funded by SAMS, which in turn is funded by people like
yourself. So, when a major storm like Earl comes by and costs about $13000 to
make a rectory habitable again, the cost is really high for the congregation
and the diocese. For the bigger picture: </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Bishop's residence in Belize, some of the
diocesan office complex, and at least two rectories that I know of were hit and
suffered damage, all in Belize City near the water. One of the rectories
belonged to the leading cleric of the Cathedral. Another of the rectories
belonged to the Rector of St. Mary the Virgin. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default">
<br /></div>
<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In addition to structural damage, there was
also the concern about biological matter floating in the water through the
streets and into homes, as well as potential for disease to spread. And while
the water has subsided, unless the structural damage is repaired, especially
the walls surrounding buildings, there is also a concern about potential
break-ins and theft. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

helps SAMS. Our form of ministry is strategically more to the advantage of
spreading the Gospel in a way that would not have been possible in more
traditional missionary assignments. We have the flexibility to do what is
needed, as needed by Bishop Philip.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Bishop's residence in Belize, some of the diocesan office complex, and at least two rectories that I know of were hit and suffered damage, all in Belize City near the water. One of the rectories belonged to the Dean of the Cathedral. Another of the rectories belonged to the Rector of St. Mary the Virgin. </div>

In addition to structural damage, there was also the concern about biological matter floating in the water through the streets and into homes, as well as potential for disease to spread. And while the water has subsided, unless the structural damage is repaired, especially the walls surrounding buildings, there is also a concern about potential theft. </div>

<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">When
it comes to missionary work, I have been bitten by the missionary bug. I can’t
seem to get it out of my system. And this is confirmed by the fact that my
identity is now perceived by many people solely as a missionary, especially
those who have not known me in other roles. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Multi-cultural
environments have become a way of life. Living on the edge in culture is an
exhilarating way of life. Watching what the Holy Spirit does through us is a
way of life. And the lessons from missionary life are sometimes lessons that we
pass along which help make spreading the Gospel more effective in the U.S. for
other folks.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Being
bitten by the missionary bug, is being a third culture Christian, living in the
mindset of at least two cultures, though as I look ahead to 2017, it could be simultaneously
four cultures. People ask how I can do it. It is like any skill: practice,
practice, and practice. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Isn’t
it dangerous? Yes and no. There are moments of excitement. Being aware of my surroundings,
and taking necessary precautions to guard against unnecessary risks, living in
moderation and according to cultural norms: it helps keep me on top of my game,
so to speak.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">What
about spreading the Gospel? That is what I do regularly, in one form or
another. Simply be alert to what God has in mind. Spreading the Gospel occurs
in word and deed. It always includes following the lead of the Holy Spirit into
God-incidences.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Over
time, we may end up with interesting results, such as this month, which
includes moving ever closer to the publication of Spanish Prayer Book for the
Province of the Church in the West Indies and the ordination of 3 priests in
Belize, a historic moment for the Church in Belize. July marks my 14th trip to
Belize since 2012, and Julie is joining me, making a return trip, as well. The
results are cumulative, over time.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">And
we could not have caught the bug without your prayer and financial support. We
are ambassadors for Christ. Thank you for enabling us to do what Jesus has
called us to do. In that sense, we are your ambassadors as well.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

four cultures. People ask how I can do it. It is like any skill: practice,
practice, and practice. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Isn’t
it dangerous? Yes and no. There are moments of excitement. Being aware of my surroundings,
and taking necessary precautions to guard against unnecessary risks, living in
moderation and according to cultural norms: it helps keep me on top of my game,
so to speak.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">What
about spreading the Gospel? That is what I do regularly, in one form or
another. Simply be alert to what God has in mind. Spreading the Gospel occurs
in word and deed. It always includes following the lead of the Holy Spirit into
God-incidences.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Over
time, we may end up with interesting results, such as this month, which
includes moving ever closer to the publication of Spanish Prayer Book for the
Province of the Church in the West Indies and the ordination of 3 priests in
Belize, a historic moment for the Church in Belize. July marks my 14th trip to
Belize since 2012, and Julie is joining me, making a return trip, as well. The
results are cumulative, over time.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">And
we could not have caught the bug without your prayer and financial support. We
are ambassadors for Christ. Thank you for enabling us to do what Jesus has
called us to do. In that sense, we are your ambassadors as well.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

This preparation often involves considerable advance-work to do well: learning about the potential diocese and its indigenous cultures and related provincial matters - how they may vary from what we are used to, and how the Gospel can be expressed effectively in the potential diocese. We do this to develop informed and relevant content that fits the diocesan mission/expression of the Gospel, upgrading course content to take into account diocesan cultures, and so forth, as needed: getting more into the mindset of the person on the ground, what tools they need as they look both outward and deeper in order to spread the Gospel.</span></div>

<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt; text-align: center;">
<span class="NoneA"><b>Transforming Countries for Christ</b></span><span class="NoneA"><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">I
have begun realizing lately, that what we do in our making a difference
ministry is bigger than a handful of students in a distance learning program,
in part because is it not the number of students, it is more about who they
are.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">And
the ministry is more than helping a handful of people through their ordination
processes, whether applying or moving from the transitional diaconate to the
presbyterate, again because it is not the number of students, it is about who
they are.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">And
the ministry is more than the several thousand lives we may touch in a year in
just Belize, let alone the hundreds of others who browse and delve into our Web
sites each year, for it is not about the number of students, it is about who
they are.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">What
we are doing is bigger than the ministries on paper. It is bigger than the
Anglican Church in Belize. What we are doing is transforming the country of
Belize, for example, because of the ministry of the handful of students and
people in the ordination process.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">This
was brought home to me poignantly recently when a chaplain to the military in
one country told me that my preaching course was transformative in his ability
to reach people in his congregation on base. He had taken a preaching course in
a provincial Anglican seminary, but he found the results of our course to be
more effective because it connected him with his congregation in a way that his
provincial seminary course did not. The result: the military in that country
were being impacted effectively with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">And
as I look back across the people with whom I have interacted personally, I see
that I have met and talked with some rather influential people in the country
of Belize, for example, as well as the down and out. It is only now that I
begin to understand that what started as modest goal a few years ago, has
turned into a ministry that helps transform a country at several levels. And
our effort is one part of God’s effort to do that. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">It’s
humbling to step back and see the bigger picture. And thank you for your part
in helping to make it happen.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

It has been an interesting week in light of the Commission on Ministry meeting on Wednesday. And the current distance learning course is winding down. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465076300037_7610" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

a) We have entered an interesting ministry phase. Sometimes there are a lot of end results that materialize all at once. Yet mission work is not like that all the time. Quite often, there are quite lengthy and subtle building phases which look like things are in standstill, but in fact they are moving at the Holy Spirit's pace, not at a North American pace. This drives most North Americans to throw up their hands and abandon ship, thinking that nothing is happening. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465076300037_7613" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

But this is also where endurance and steadfastness in the Holy Spirit on the part of missionaries <span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465076300037_7616" style="font-size: 12pt;">plays a key part in terms of incremental progress going forward in the Caribbean context. We have entered one of those subtle phases. It is all quite mysterious, and yet, in the long run and based on past experience, it all works out in God's timing. And, stepping back even farther, it is all part of the big picture of transforming society through the people in the Church.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465076300037_7617" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

b) We keep moving ahead on course development, student participation, and ordination process plans. We have reached a milestone in which all our courses are set in the overall curriculum, with room for expansion and revision as needed. Flexibility, sense of humor, organization, and listening to the subtle presence of the Holy Spirit's guidance has continued to be important over the years as the basis for the design of the future program.</div>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465076300037_7621" style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

c) We have reached a new phase in the diocesan plans ahead with regards to the Bishop's ideas, the Commission on Ministry's plans, and my role as Diocesan Examining Chaplain/Advisor to the Bishop and Commission on Ministry/Mentor in the ordination process/and Talent Scout for potential clergy. We have entered a new promising phase of coordination between us all and a new phase as to what is ahead in terms of a potential clergy pool.</div>

d) I am encountering more and more North Americans who have been relocated to their own homes from their former work environments, where they connect with their office via distance connections, and where their immediate supervisor may be in another state, as a way to cut overhead expense. I have meet several people in this situation in the past week, alone. Our distance learning program dynamic with students works somewhat in the same way, and has become somewhat visionary in that regard. </div>

Prayers: </div>

1) I would like prayers for guidance on the path ahead for us all (including the Commission on Ministry, the Bishop, people in the ordination track, possible entries into the process, and potential students - whether lay people, Lay Ministers, people in the ordination process, or clergy), for whatever the Holy Spirit has in mind. Some people in this circle have been recovering from illness or surgery. Prayers for healing for them would be appreciated, as well.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465076300037_7637" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

2) Prayer also for continued support for our ministry would be appreciated; like a focus on praying for parish stewardship in support of parish mission and ministry, it is part of missionary life to pray for support of missionary mission and ministry.</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465076300037_7641">

3) That this new phase of ministry continues to be fruitful, and for all the plans we are making for the future in Belize, and for the people involved in those plans. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465076300037_7645" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

4) For the easing of tensions between Guatemala and Belize. The higher than normal level of tension has been going on for some time now. And I would not be surprised to learn some day that in the background of our current mysterious ministry dynamic, that this international tension may have played a role at some level. It is also a reminder that missionary trips are not guaranteed to be safe, and that our form of missionary venture may be part of God providence for both ourselves and our friends in Belize in this regard.</div>

5) For the Spanish Prayerbook as it moves incrementally closer to being printed. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465076300037_7652" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

6) For our daughter, the Rev. Hannah, who is having a birthday this week.</div>

<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">What
do I mean by “chaltun”? </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">A
chaltun is a centuries-old Mayan cold storage/water storage/trash area,
tunnelled in the ground, in which a family might have stored food in pots.
These days, not much is left of the centuries old food, the pots are in various
degrees of intactness, and the access ways into the chaltuns can be rather
formidable, if you are taller than about 5 feet. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Many
major Mayan city ruins make great tourist destinations, but many smaller Mayan
discoveries might also be exciting even if they be a stray potsherd found in a
chaltun. Half the adventure is just getting there: our team navigating through
a jungle-esque forest, to arrive at our destination, and then, navigating to
the far side of a poisonwood grove (one of two tree forms of Belizean poison
ivy - I don’t recommend coming into contact with its sap). Then, we find the
hole in the ground of a collapsed roof in a chaltun into which we peer with
awe. It is all part of the adventure.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">By
the way, 60% cotton long-sleeved clergy shirts absorb one’s sweat rather well in
90+ degree heat, with humidity of 88%+.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">About
5 million Maya used to live in the greater Mexico, Belize, Guatemala area. The
only inhabitants in a chaltun are likely to be fruit bats. After watching my 5
foot guide disappear into the chaltun, this 5 foot 10 inch or so North American
attempted to do likewise. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Once
several feet down into the chaltun, I was faced with a decision whether to
venture into one of two corridors, or not. Ah. Body length issues around turns,
designed for shorter people, in the relative dark among fruit bats….on my
stomach, with not much to hold onto. Not wanting to be stuck below ground as my
primary activity of the day, I ascended, using tree roots as handholds. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="BodyA" style="margin-right: 1.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">What
does this adventure have to do with missionary work? Well, as people in Belize
have noted from time to time: “You take an interest in our culture, Dr. Mudge.”
And they smile. It is part of the missionary way of life. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Awesome. The ripple effect of various students' work is beginning to be felt across Belize, quite possibly a significant vector into the military, in one case.</span></div>

This is an update/prayer mail combination for 4 May 2016:</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462405672389_14043" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

1) Update: my 13th Belize trip in about 4 years continues. The trip has been a succession of meetings and consultations, as I continue to serve as a catalyst to make ordinations happen. It's a long story. It has a lot of pieces to it. Our final meeting is tomorrow morning (Thursday). This has been totally awesome. Only God could have pulled this together. We have a great team here pulling it together between the Commission on Ministry, the Bishop of the Diocese, and myself, as well as others we work with. The people in the process, their contacts, and their families have been great. Wonderful people. </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462405672389_14045" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

Ordinations may be scheduled on a Holy Day in July (as of today), although the Bishop has been really focused on Saturday August 6 (Transfiguration - the day before I go on vacation; that could be awkward for our vacation plans - so your prayers would be appreciated about the date and my availability).</div>

2) And in the middle of all that, life happened: people with serious pastoral issues, here, that needed attending to. </div>

3) And in the geopolitical sense of things: </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462405672389_14060" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
tensions between Guatemala and Belize seem to be described as being on a level not seen since 1976. Apparently in that year and perhaps another year before then, when this level of tension last arose, it was toned down only when Guatemala had to attend to an earthquake in its own country in each instance. It raises an interesting question: do people get edgy before an earthquake?</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462405672389_14060" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

4) For Belizeans, the weather has been hot and humid. Too hot. I held a meeting in the Bishop's office (he was not there and gave me permission to use his office), and I was not really aware how hot it was because the fan was on. Then, after the meeting, the Bishop came in and said "isn't it warm in here?" and he turned on the air conditioning. Then, I noticed it. Wow. I am getting used to it. Continued prayer for those of us walking in a perpetual very warm shower of humidity, especially with regards to dehydration. I seem to be managing. Praise God.</div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462405672389_14060" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

OK. so how hot has it been? Today, in the cool of the evening, it was about 90 degrees with about 88% humidity, and according to a weather Web site, the feel of the temperature was about 105 degrees. It was hotter in the West of the country a few days ago. That sustained level can do a job on computers, Internet infrastructure, and on a lot people. Prayers for getting through it all. My bedroom in Belize City this time benefits from the warmth of the afternoon sun if you know what I mean.</div>

b) For the future: we are going to keep going ahead with more people in the ordination process and future ordination plans, we may offer more live courses on the ground, the distance learning program continues, as I minister to my brothers and sisters (both ordained and lay), and the Bishop may be asking me to do different things as the Holy Spirit leads. </div>

Dear Friends,</div>

This is an update/prayer mail combination. </div>

1) Update: I am in Belize on my 13th trip in about 4 years. The trip this time is focusing on moving people forward in the ordination process, and I seem to be playing a central part in enabling that to happen, as Examining Chaplain and as a team member alongside the Bishop and the Commission on Ministry.</div>

Though we have a full week ahead of us that may reveal important matters: as a result of my visit, I am anticipating ordinations to be scheduled during the summer, and I have been invited down for that event (specific date not established at this writing). </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461932768794_18294" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

As an advocate of people in the ordination process, I have also enabled the next phase of the next tier of people for the ordination process to move forward. It is not over til it's over, so please keep everyone and all the matters at hand in prayer.</div>

These are small daily steps that make a big strategic difference, the compounded impact being in part because of the repeated visits over time. </div>

2) The seminary library on the ground in Belmopan that has been reorganized by volunteers is poised to make a difference as a resource for at least one of the people in the process. </div>

3) I have been planning with the Bishop, the next phase of the strategic focus in my ministry here. More to come on this in the fullness of time. </div>

For Belizeans, the weather has been hot and humid. Prayer for those of us walking in a perpetual very warm shower of humidity, especially regarding dehydration.</div>
