FPC-Midland Belize Mission: Three Days Out, a Prayer for Traveling Mercies

From January 4 through 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.

Our Travel Itinerary

An initial prayer request from the Belize Mission Team is for "traveling mercies." Part of our team will be departing Midland tomorrow morning (Thursday, January 2), arriving in Belize late that afternoon. A large part of our team will be departing Midland Saturday morning January 4. We'll connect with a third part of team at Dallas-Fort Worth International, and travel together from there to Belize, arriving later that afternoon.

"Start praying for traveling mercies," we've been advised. "We have a tight connection in Dallas!"

Speaking of prayer, each of us received a stack of bookmarks, which we've been sharing with others. The bookmarks list our mission team members, with a request that you pray for our team. Those team members are ...

Greg Bartha
Chris Hammit
Pat Hunter
Morgan Lane
Karen Lang
Jeff McDonald
Connie Morrow
Casey Smith
Will Smith
Mayra Thompson

How You Can Help

While God has opened up a door for us on the team to develop a greater heart of compassion for all his people around the world, he has also opened that door for you to share that compassion in different ways.

First and foremost, we ask for your prayers that God will prepare us for our visit, and bless our efforts as we minister to the people of Belize. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers in the weeks ahead, and add the Belize Mission Team, 1st Presbyterian Church, Midland, Texas to your church’s prayer list.

We also ask for prayers that our financial needs be met. Each member of our team needs to raise $2,000 in support – through our own resources and through the support of friends and family. Would you prayerfully consider supporting our team through a small contribution? If you feel led to contribute financially, please make checks payable to “First Presbyterian Church” and include “Belize Mission Team” in the notation line. The checks may be sent to:

Belize Mission Trip
c/o 1st Presbyterian Church
800 W. Texas Avenue
Midland, TX 79701

Whether you feel led to contribute financially, through prayer or through both ... all of your support is appreciated!
