"
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."

Hello Friends,
Cal Smith is back in Belize

Many of you know Cal. He has been coming to Belize for about 12 years helping our mission teams and Kenny as a construction manager.
Cal is known for his dedication and his witty colloquialisms which we fondly refer to as
“Calvinisms” ... like
"He was as mad as a mule chewing on bumblebees."

For a variety of reasons he had to take a little recess from traveling to Belize which has caused nationwide consternation ...
”Where’s Cal???”
But when Cal learned that his little friend from the Valley of Peace, Rosario, was getting a house built he had to buy a plane ticket and return.
Rosario is a delightful little Mayan woman, a widow with three children, who stands a little better than 3 feet tall. She's one of the few people that even Cal (formerly known as Lo-Cal) can look down on.
At this moment La Jolla Presbyterian Church is in the Valley working with our local church partners to complete the home.
One of our donors is putting up $2,500 to purchase a milk cow for Global Outreach -- IF we can round up enough dogies to purchase a second!
The young men from under-resourced homes who attend this residential vocational school are chomping at the bit to have fresh milk, yogurt, etc. to beef up their meals!
If you're churning to help us meet this matching grant,
PLEASE CLICK HERE above .... thank you!
( Notate Bessie on your donation, please. )
Tim Hagen just returned from some time in Belize with Pleasant Grove Baptist Church

Pleasant Grove continued strengthening their relationships with their friends in Shawville last week. Several different projects were worked on in partnership with House of Salvation Church and Omega Ministries including two chicken coops for families in the area and plastering the inside walls of a church. What a fun week of fellowship and work! Everything is better when chickens are involved. God is working in Shawville through both of these churches, and we were blessed to be a small part of it!".
