On Mission
in Belize
I have been to Belize twice for missions. As a Spanish teacher, I was not worried about the language, but the language was not a concern for any in our group. A lot of people don’t know that Belizeans speak English and Spanish, so if you don’t know any Spanish, you can still speak to the people and families you are working with. Both trips for me were very personal and life-changing. I was able to use my experience with technology to help solicit technology donations for the local schools in the community. In addition, I did a lot of hands-on work with the teachers in the local schools, helping them to set up, and teaching and answering any questions they had about the applications available. I loved meeting the people and working with them, especially knowing that we were making a difference in the lives of children and educators.

My experiences traveling to Belize have been life changing! I have loved learning about a new culture, tasting new foods and getting to know new Belizean friends. The impact that we made in the lives of children and families is long lasting and deep. When in Belize I had the opportunity to help people plant gardens, work in a school, paint, play soccer, teach English, and so much more! My life has been deeply impacted by my opportunities to serve in Belize!

I’m not sure I’ve experienced more joy then I did on this mission trip. My husband and 2 out of 3 of our high school age kids went with us. We were more deeply connected because of our mission trip together. Did we help by digging holes and starting new buildings? Did we see lives change, people renew their relationships with Christ, help with summer programs for the kids. Yes we did. Yet the biggest life change was in me and in our family. Go on this trip to help others and realize at the same time, the person that sees the most life change might be you! We loved it so much we want back the next summer! We are forever changed from our experience in Belize.

Over ten years ago I traveled back to my home country of Belize for my first mission trip to serve the people in Corozal District. One of my most spiritual and joyous moments in life was holding hands with my team and locals as we prayed to celebrate the new roof we installed on the church. That moment and that feeling was 10 years ago and still creates emotions when I think about it.
