WAW Wednesdays: Praises!!

"The Word at Work is a ministry that mobilizes churches and individuals to answer God's call to minister to those in need," writes Rev. Tim Tam, Director of the Amarillo, Texas-based ministry. "Through our relationships, God reveals needs and opportunities for service. As we come along side the poor, new friendships develop and doors for ministry open. As we serve, God provides the resources to supply for the needs he reveals."



Praises!!

Greetings from Belize, Friends,

There's much to be grateful for in today's message ...

One of our areas of focus in Belize is providing resources for those providing medical care in this under-resourced country.

This includes shipping life saving medical equipment and supplies (see below).


Another aspect of this is bringing our partners together like 26:12 (the mission-focused arm of Accolade Home Health in the US) and Belize Hospice and Palliative Care Foundation ... right now volunteers are preparing for at least 125 caregivers, physicians, nurses, and public health workers who will attend a 2-day conference at Banana Bank.

This is a big deal and we're really grateful ...

We also work to coordinate care for devastating medical cases that might otherwise have no hope. Talk about GRATEFUL...we've just received word that Gabryella's tests came back showing no tumor in her thigh bone! Instead, a nasty infection has been discovered...left untreated at the rate it was developing Gabby might not have made it through - but thanks to God's swift movement, she will be treated here, and both life and limb will be saved. Thank you for your continued prayers ... this is REALLY good news!


And then there are our Ministry Associates ...

Maybe you'd like to join this merry band of bargain finders who assist us with gathering items needed desperately by our numerous partners in Belize? I'm highlighting a few items here...Our warehouse is practically bursting as we work to get the last $1000USD needed to ship the next container. We'd love to ship 8 containers this year - praying God will provide the resources to make that happen.

   Stoves for feeding programs all over Belize
   Commercial grade sewing and serger machines for factories born out of Christians Sewing Partners of Belize
   Portable dialysis and sonogram machines for clinics and hospitals

Our Ministry Associate team gathers school supplies, toys, and stuffed animals through out the year ... we've discovered blankets are an ongoing need as well, so please be saving them, too.

Thanks for your partnership in our mission.
