Clive Welsh

Clive Welsh was born in Belize City, Belize and moved to Los Angeles,California at an early age. Upon graduating from High School, heattending Junior College where he received an Associates of Arts degreein Radio, Television, and Film. Television was really his passion buthe became disillusioned by it and a greater passion developed when heunderstood what being a follower of Christ meant. His availability inserving the Lord led him to announcing the ‘live’ broadcast of theBible Studies from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa with Pastor Chuck Smithfor many years. Upon returning to Belize in the mid-nineties as amissionary to his birth country, Clive noticed the powerful influenceof Christian Radio in equipping Christians in the Bible in Belize andsensed that he would be directly involved someday. That day arrived inSeptember 2003 when Lighthouse Christian Radio, then Radio Emmanuel,was ‘dropped into his lap’ and he became Director/General Manager.

 

Edler Blas 

My name is Edler Nicolas Blas Useda. I was born in Managua, Nicaragua. I’m 23 years old, I grew up in Nicaragua where I finished high school and attended University for a year. I could not continue due to the economics problems that happened in 2006. At that time a started going to church and after a few visits I opened my heart to Jesus and I started a relationship with Him as my Lord and Savior. 

In 2007 I moved to San Pedro Town, Belize trying to find job opportunities and ended up working at a Resort. Shortly after, I met Clive Welsh and we became very good friends and he became like a father to me. In 2010, the Lord gave me the opportunity to study in the Bible School at the Calvary Chapel in El Salvador. While finishing the time of study, God placed in my heart the desire to serve in the ministry of Lighthouse Christian Radio. I returned and went immediately on staff as Ministry Intern where I assist in the operation of the Radio Station and began teaching a weekly Spanish Bible Study for young people which has been a great blessing to me.

One of my favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 4.23, “Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life”.  Muchas bendiciones! 

 

Elmer Montero

Elmer Montero was born in San Ignacio Town and grew up in a small village know as Bullet Tree Falls in the Cayo District, Belize where he attended primary school.  He was given an opportunity to attend The Cayo Centre for Employment Training (CET) and graduated with honours in Automotive Mechanics and training in Information Technology. With the assistance from one of his brothers he entered high school in 2003 and graduated with honours in 2007as the Salutatorian of the St. Ignatius High School. After several unsuccessful attempts of getting a job, Elmer became disappointed and desperate, and eventually decided to make his way to Ambergris Caye where he worked at Grand Caribe Resort as a construction assistant for several months until he became a skilled mason.  His other job was at St. Peters High School as a part time Information Technology teacher. At the opening of Grand Caribe Resort he was rehired as a landscaper and worked there for eight months. During that time he was hired part time at Lighthouse Christian Radio FM 101.3 and five months later the opportunity was presented to him to become a full time staff at Lighthouse. Elmer decided to quit his landscaping job and learn a new career as a radio announcer for the first time in his life. His computer skill has been a great access to the radio ministry and is a quick and resourceful learner. Currently Elmer is pursuing a degree in Business Management in the evenings and strongly believes that the Lord will give him the opportunity to serve Him as a business man in the future. “Only the Lord knows why things happen the way they do and where we are.”

  

Ronald Stanley Escobar

My name is Ronald Stanley Escobar, presently living San Pedro Town on Ambergris Caye. A brief history of myself, I was born in El Salvador therefore my roots are Spanish descendant, however proudly speak English and Spanish. I move here to country of Belize on the 24th of December of 1993 where I attended school in Belize City. In July 2006 I move over to this beautiful Island of Ambergris Caye to work. However during my darkness and sleepless night, I became conscious of an emptiness in my life and coming to a conclusion I needed Jesus Christ in my life to give my life value and a reason to go on. On April the 1, 2009 I accepted Jesus as my only Savior and salvation for a better hope in life. Now I gladly serve Him at my church, "Full Gospel Church of God, Shalom," here in San Pedro as the Church secretary and treasurer. I am very happy to be a part of the ministry of Lighthouse Christian Radio and a member of the team.
