Louis Wade Appointed Senator for Churches

The National Evangelical Association of Belize has conveyed a congratulatory message to Prime Minister John Briceño and the P.U.P. on their election victory. NEAB also extends its congratulations to the new Leader of the Opposition, Tracy Taegar-Panton. In a press release issued today, NEAB also expresses its pleasure at the announcement of the appointment of Rev. Louis Wade Junior as the Senator for the Churches. The NEAB release indicates that Wade’s selection was made with collaboration among them, the Belize Council of Churches, and the Belize Association of Evangelical Churches. Aside from these organizations, Wade’s appointment was endorsed over two hundred and forty pastors from across Belize. NEAB expresses confidence that Wade will discharge his senatorial duties with excellence and wisdom, and that he will make significant contributions as he has done before in his career.  Late this evening, we spoke with activist Caleb Orozco of the United Belize Advocacy Movement (UNIBAM).  Here’s his reaction to Wade’s appointment.
