From January 11, 2014, a team from 1st Presbyterian Church-Midland will be traveling to the Central American country of Belize, and working with The Word at Work ministry. This will be an opportunity to reach out and share the gospel with the people of Belize while working side-by-side with the local community and The Word at Work staff on a much-needed construction project.
Sunday Team Meeting
Team meetings are held each evening, following dinner. The meetings are led by Tim Tam, who heads up The Word At Work, our partner here in Belize. There is prayer, of course, then some discussion of the mission ... significant moments for each of us that day, and a look ahead to what tomorrow might bring in addition to our scheduled activities ... the unplanned, the unanticipated, but important nonetheless.
There's also music, with Tam providing us the lyrics straight from Scripure,
the working out a tune on his guitar to accompany those lyrics. We sing together, then parcel it out, with the women singing one part as then men sing another, all at the same time ... IMHO, it sounds pretty good.
Here's one song ...
Now to him who is able to keep you
Who is able to keep you from stumbling
And to make you stand in the presence
of His glory, blameless with great joy
To the only God our savior
Through Jesus Christ our lord
Be glory, majesty, dominion and power
For all times, both now and forever
Amen
... and here's another ...
There is one thing I ask of you, Lord
For this I long
That I might dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life
To behold your beauty
Within your house
O, my God, take and hide me
In the shelter of your tent
All the days of my life
O, my God, take and hide me
In the shelter of your tent
All the days of my life
We close the meeting with prayer, lifting up individuals and circumstances that we encountered in the course of the day, and seeking encouragement for ourselves, for the days that lie ahead.

GOT QUESTIONS?
Is there something you'd like to ask any of our mission team members, or our pastor?
