Belizean Photos!!

***Disclaimer: Even though it seems as if we have disappeared in Belize...Our team has been busy working the Lord's will and ministering to the citizens of Belize. We are sups excited to share our experiences and at a later time. Today was our RELAXATION day to re-energize for the rest of our sweaty week.**

We woke up to the beautiful sunshine and the sparkling crystal water of the Caribbean ready for what adventures were ahead. Today, we took a day to admire God's creation in the nearby jungles of Belize. Our excursion consisted of a mile-long hike along Blue Creek, which led to a massive clearing with majestically flowing waterfalls and a monstrous cave. We swam with small headlights about a half mile into the cave and discovered a in-cave waterfall. In awe of God's creation, we turned off the head lights and sang "Amazing Grace" in the intense darkness as our voices echoed throughout the caverns. We came back tonight to eat dinner and hung out for the night with our Belizean friends at Da Wata Fountin. Lauren and Stephen shared encouraging testimonies and Tim shared about Jesus calming the storm. Afterwards we created clever crafts and twisted balloon animals for the kids...who of course didn't want the sups fun to end.

Belize Update!

Hello all! We are so sorry we have been slacking on updating the blog. Belize is wonderful and we are all so excited to be here. We got in Saturday afternoon, after a long day of travels. Immediately we saw Gideon and his family. Tim gave all the newbies a tour of Punta Gorda, and they got to see the walkabout children. The rest of the team went grocery shopping. Sunday morning we woke up early to eat a delicious Belizean breakfast and got the opportunity to visit Gideon's church. On Sunday afternoon the dental team began the clinics, while they were working on teeth the rest of the team prepared for the week and the presentations that they will be doing in the schools. Sunday night we had takeout dinner and ate it at the clinic with the walkabout kids, after we went back to Gideon's church to show a movie to some residents of the community. Sunday night also came with a wonderful surprise! Our dear friend, Rachel Howden, arrived and surprised the team; we all thought she could not make the trip this year. Monday, was our first full work day. The dental team did a great job and treated numerous patients all day, while the rest of the team embarked into the jungle to teach dental hygiene to over 200 students. After a delicious dinner of beans and rice, shrimp, fish, and chicken we headed to the town center in Punta Gorda to show another movie. That night we had devotions and went to bed to rest up for today! Thank you for all your prayers, we feel them daily! We will update ASAP! :)

Belize two-thousand-ten

This week a group of 22 people embarked on a journey to a little city called Punta Gorda, which is nestled in the country of Belize in Central America. This group left Friday and arrived safely.

While here they will be preforming dental exams & procedures on the Belizian community. They will also be teaching good hygiene in the schools down there and doing other random service projects throughout the community.
