He was our first prime minister.He has set a great example of what a prime minister should be, and has perhaps contributed the most to Belizean politics. People will remember him as a very humble and unselfish leader, one who was willing to sacrifice everything for his country. What other prime minster would be content to live in a one room house and drive a beaten up old truck as prime minister?... He was not too proud to walk along the street picking up other people's trash. We Belizeans have a lot to learn from him.
At 92, we are happy that he is finally relieved of all the earthly burdens and is able to get his much needed rest.

It does sound like the former prime minister was a good leader. Just curious about the rest you speak of. I am still just learning about Belize's history and current poliical situation. So forgive my lack of knowledge here.
Are you under the belief that George Price was washed in the blood of Jesus? Had he confessed Jesus as the Lord of His life?
I was trying to research that one. It was hard to find out anything regarding his spiritual life. I am sure some others would know better than I do, so I hope someone can clarify that for me. I suppose if he is not eternally saved it would not be a very long rest. Whether a person is saved or not is not usually of importance to the media, is it.
As far as I know, George Price had an active faith and a real relationship with Jesus. Although I am the the ultimate judge, I do believe, that he was saved. It is because of him, the Bible is taught in Belize schools across the country regardless of the sponsor of each individual school and the personal life of the teachers.
Thank you so much Beth! That is very encouraging to know. I have not studied much Belize history at all.
