Belize Missions Trip Update
A Safe Arrival in Belize
Our team has safely arrived! After a bus ride from the church in Sanford, minimal wait times at the airports in Orlando and Miami, two plane rides, a customs check, and an “interesting” van ride to Belmopan, Belize (they’ll have to explain this on testimony night), our team has arrived. It was smooth traveling, and everyone’s baggage arrived, too.
The Work Goes On
As you can see from the picture gallery below, the work is in progress. Our team is putting on the roof of the church building. We previously paid for the block walls and had them laid so that they would be set and ready for our arrival. We’re also putting in a bathroom for the church. While to us it may simply look like an out house, to the people of the community it may be the nicest bathroom around. On the worksite, everyone has found a job, and they’re excitedly working. The conditions are rough with temperatures up near 100 degrees, but we are pleased to know that our work matters. The name and fame of the Lord will be increased because of this church building, and more Belzeans will come to know the Lord because of it. We are blessed to be partners with our fellow believers in Belize!
Keep Praying
Things are going smoothly right now, but the team would greatly appreciate your prayers. Please keep praying for the safety and success of the trip.

Here’s an update from missions team leader, Bill Simpson, “We are here! We arrived, made it through customs with only minor searches of luggage and have finally checked into the hotel. Team is adjusting to the heat. It was a hot ride from the airport. Please let all know we are doing well.”
Thanks for praying for our team. Keep it up!
