Acts 22:15, English Standard Version

“For you will be a witness for him to everyone of what you have seen and heard.”

I was blessed to go on a mission trip to Belize, my very first one, and I can tell you it was amazing to see God's work. Once we arrived, I saw there was a climate and cultural difference. We did prison ministry, which was amazing to see these gentlemen on fire for the Lord. Then the hospital ministry was great, seeing the power of healing. I witnessed so many getting healed and giving their lives to the Lord. Street ministry I had to get used to, to be bold and pray for people. God has opened my eyes in so many ways, teaching me to be humble. Not everyone has a good lifestyle or home, but yet are still happy and appreciative.

I saw people work so hard but yet get paid so little and they were happier than I would have thought they would be. Everyone we encountered was very pleasant and happy. They were willing to talk and let us pray for them and their business.

During the downtime we learned more about the other team members. We had more teachings and healings. I learned more about the Bible. The food was amazing and homemade. Everything was fresh and tasted so good. One day we visited the Mayan temples. Since my back had been healed, I was able to climb to the tops of the temples. Overall, we had an amazing team and a wonderful time spreading God's word.

A big area I would really like to point out was the combined ministry with other ministries down there. The place was Spanish Lookout. They had a community outreach for the kids which had a mechanical bull ride, face painting, crafts, and horseback riding. I loved seeing the love and joy on the kids’ faces. Now I thank God for the opportunity to have gone and thank everyone who has supported and prayed for us while we were there.
