Belize Mission Trip
The week of June 7-14th we had the privilege of sharing Belize with our church family and Nathan’s bluegrass group. In total, there were 24 on the team. Having the band gave us something to offer so that we were able to get into some unique venues to share the gospel. They were even interviewed on Belize television! Everyone was excited about seeing the huge upright bass! I hope you enjoy the video. It cuts off 7seconds early, so if you know the song just hum it to the end in your head. lol
The next video is of the different groups we worshiped with in Belize. Nathan had been attending a Chinese speaking church and they held a special service on Tuesday night so that our group could share their culture. It is a small group, but very diverse, with eveyrthing being translated in three languages.
The last part of this video is of the youth rally we held on Saturday. We had around 70 young people come out to the camp. We taught the gospel as well as ministry type things they could use in their home churches. We even gave recorder lessons and handed out 20 recorders for the young people to use in their churches. The squeaky sound you hear at the end is one of the recorders being played!
A montage of the various groups we were able to worship with in Belize.
The best and most fascinating part of the trip was watching everyone go out and use their various gifts and talents. We had musicians, medical personnel, construction workers, evangelists, etc, etc. We covered so many aspects of ministry in this one trip that it was amazing! We didn’t all stick together the whole time, but rather each person found the area in which they could be most used and they poured themselves into it. It functioned exactly the way the Body of Christ is supposed to function–everyone going out to use their gifts and talents for the Lord, and then coming back together for fellowship and worship.
