From January 4-11, 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.
Here are my thoughts on the trip ...
I would say that the mission trip was a study in poverty. The reading we did before the trip and the discussions we had during our stay in Belize focused our attention on what as Christians our commitment to the poor should be. What should mission trips try to accomplish. How can we help but not foster dependency.
The people were rich in many ways, hard working, strong in faith, kind and gracious. We the team members realized that we are poor on many ways.
It wa a blessing for me to participate in this mission trip.

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