"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, Spiritual 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."

Friends of The Word,
Christmas is coming so soon - I went to Lowe's yesterday and all the decorations are out – in September!
Well, we too are beginning to get ready !! As you may know, TWAW has a Christmas trip each year to share the GIFT of Christmas with our partners in Belize. We are able to donate thousands of toys, school supplies, phone cards to those in the Belize prison to call family, as well as clothing etc. to many outreach programs in Belize. Mary Keith and angels, collect toys all year long to get ready – THANK YOU !! Those ministries in turn can bless their youth with a gift and share the story of the greatest GIFT ever given, our Jesus Christ !!
But this takes much planning and preparation to get shipped to Belize on time. Many of you have graciously helped in the past to send gifts and help offset the cost of shipping a container – THANK YOU also!! Well with all that being said – it will soon be time to load and ship the Christmas Container !! so I am setting the date of Oct. 20 as the date we need your items in Amarillo, TX to get shipped to Belize for Christmas. If you’re in the Amarillo area I’d love to have your help loading the container – please contact ron@twaw.org.
We are planning on sending a team from the US in December to BZE to sort and distribute the gifts –the dates are 12th-19th. Contact jo@twaw.org if you are planning on joining. However with the existing Covid restrictions we will NOT be able to deliver the gifts while in the country. Ministry Partners will be responsible to pick them up this year. We will not be able to provide a Christmas party for the children of Kings Home at this time – pray that changes!
So in a nut shell- Christmas is coming, we are shipping GIFTS soon, we are prepared to either GO and help or to STAY and pray from the US.
So we need your gifts soon. We would love your financial support for shipping and for Phone Cards if you can.
In the Name of the Greatest Gift of All – Jesus Christ !!!
Ron Allen - Executive Director
Tim Tam - Spiritual Director
