FPC-Midland Belize Mission: They weren't kidding!

From November 8th through the 15th, 2014, a team from 1st Presbyterian Church-Midland will be traveling to the Central American country of Belize, and working with The Word at Work ministry. This will be an opportunity to reach out and share the gospel with the people of Belize while working side-by-side with the local community and The Word at Work staff on a much-needed construction project ... all of this building upon a foundation of relationships that was laid early this year.



They weren't kidding!

As I said, our team was split in two yesterday, with half the team (all the men, as it turned out) going into Belize City for a visit to the Central Prison, and a hospice care organization ... while the other half of out team (all the women, as it turned out) headed back to the construction site.

At day's end, when each reported on the progress of their day, there were some who wondered if the construction part of our team exaggerated just a little on the amount of progress they' made. 

When we arrived this morning, we soon learned they weren't kidding ... those walls were DONE, and it was time to start raising the roof. 



Most of our team was on the construction site today, and that's exactly what we started doing.

Please keep us - Pastor Walter Thompson, Dr. Greg Bartha, Becky Holmes, Pat Hunter, Jeff McDonald, Chrissie Mee and Casey Smith, the students of El Progresso School, our friends in the community of Seven Mile / El Progresso, and our WAW partners - in your thoughts and prayers.

Is there something you'd like to ask any of our mission team members, or our pastor?
