Return Trip
We’re back!!! The team and I had an awesome mission trip in Belize. We are now ready to share our experience with you. So, hold on to your hats and get ready to enter the Belize Mission Field via the Rain Forest!
Stepping into the hot humid air of Belize City we were met with hugs and kisses from our hosts Pastor Patrick, his family and the Cyphers; Mike, Amanda and their son Colin. They all had a hand in preparing us, walking us through all the fine details. And we as a team, prayed and planned; but it was God who would direct our steps! So, before our first step, there right before our eyes was “The Bus”. If it could talk it would tell how it has and is being used for God’s purposes, just as the donkey carried our Lord “The bus” was provided for us and countless others every day!
In preparation for the trip, the team held bake sales, garage sales, and Zumba classes for “fun”raisiers. We also received donations from many sponsors (whom we appreciate very much). Packing donations for the trip filled our hearts to overflowing, knowing these gifts would bring smiles to the faces of the Calvary Chapel Cayo’s congregation and the town of San Ignacio!
So the mission begins… Late to bed and an early to rise the second morning… Half of the team went to the church to help complete the roof with Pastor Patrick. The building was almost complete and had been previously worked on by the host missionaries, the congregation, and help from a few men in the village…
The other half of the team was across town with Denise. Denise and Michelle taught the two day classes, and three of the purity girls along with Gra’ma Carol, watched the little ones.
And of course, as with all mission teams, this team was no different; we enjoyed the sights and sounds of Central Belize.
The team left many blessings with the people of Belize, but was abuntantly more blessed by our hosts, the people of Calvary Chapel Cayo and fellow missionaries we met… We so look forward to our return visit in July, to continue the work that God began, in us! May He always receive the glory, the honor and Praise...
