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.
Songs and Surprises in Music
Many of us at First Prez already know what a blessing Karen Lang and her music can be. Now the people of El Progresso - especially the young people - are finding out as well, as Karen (guitar and songbooks in hand) takes her show on the road, ready to share music and message with all she meets ... and she also does requests!
Music has been part of the activities over the last two days at El Progresso Government School. There was story time as the children heard the tale of Noah's Ark, accompanied by music, play and and a very active spray bottle providing the rain.
It didn't take long for word to get around that someone with a guitar was on the campus, singing for the students. It wasn't long before Karen was getting visitors, students from other classrooms with their teachers' requests that Karen come to their room, and perform "Happy Birthday" for one of the students in that class.
Music has also been an opportunity to reach out and connect with youngsters in the community who have been working with us on church construction. We've had some impromptu jam sessions in the parking lot.

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