Greetings!

Thanks for checking out the Belize Mission 2013 Blog!  We are excited that you are joining us on this journey as we prepare to serve God in Belize.  Here's a little history of the mission trip for those who are just joining us. 

When?
The Church of the Resurrection is sending 22 team members to serve in Belize from March 1st -10th, 2013

Who?The team members are a wide variety of ages and they are people who attend the parish, or take part in the weekly youth group at the church.  We are very excited to have three different mother-son combo's coming with us this year, and our youngest team member just turned one a few weeks ago.

Where? We will be staying at the YWAM base in Banana Bank. YWAM (Youth with a Mission) is an organization that has bases all over the world. The YWAM in Belize will be providing us with our accomodations and meals. Furthermore, we are hoping to partner with them in some of their ministries in the area. Check out their website to learn more about our accomodations: http://www.ywambelize.com/Home.aspx

Why?This is a completely volunteer mission. Therefore, every individual will be doing personal fundraising for the trip. We are commiting our time, money and gifts because we have a passion to step out in faith and live out Jesus' command when he tells us to 'Go to all the nations' Matthew 28:19. Each member of the team would articulate this call a little differently, yet all of us are here because we want to serve God, and go deeper in our faith.

We're excited that you're joining us on this journey! We will be updating this blog roughly every 1-2 weeks, and then daily when we are in Belize. So feel free to check in, and learn about what's going on. If you feel called to pray for the mission, we really appreciate the prayer support!
