The Experience of Mission: Belize 2012
Belize, situated in the Caribbean, is a developing country with warm waters, kind people, and a need for medical, dental, and construction teams. You will find personal and spiritual growth, experience your faith in a fresh way, and be just the help that someone in need has been praying for. We are the hands and feet of Christ; we show Christian faith by living it. Read more about Belize from first-hand testimony here.
