River Lakes Community Church - Group Trip - Belize - 27E0720BZ

Belize is a country known for its diverse and stunning geography, featuring everything from lush rainforests and pristine beaches to ancient Mayan ruins. Located in Central America, Belize is bordered by Mexico, Guatemala, and the Caribbean Sea.

Efforts to address poverty and strongholds in Belize involves a combination of government initiatives, community programs, outreach ministries and international support. Improving access to opportunities remains crucial in reducing poverty, increasing faith and enhancing the quality of life for all Belizeans.

40% of Belizean families have a single parent. This gives the church the opportunity to partner with single moms by loving on their kids. We do that through feeding, after school programs, health care, and discipleship.

Fly into Belize City, where your assigned Mission Leader will meet you at the airport and take you to your destination. Drive time from the airport will range based on the location of your ministry site. All in-country, local transportation is included in the trip cost.

Ministry Opportunities

• Home visits: Visit with families in the communities in which we serve, praying for them, hearing their stories, presenting the gospel and blessing them with groceries. This is one the most cross-cultural experiences that you will encounter.
• Feeding Programs: Working with local churches, we serve these broken families first by offering food on a weekly basis. Among the four feeding programs, a typical site would feed 50-80 kids at a time.
• Block Parties: Serve an impoverished community near Belize City by gathering kids and their families (200-300 people at a time!) and throwing them a party. A typical block party may include a cookout, inflatable bounce house, cotton candy, snow cones, and popcorn. These parties are a great way to encourage the community and share the gospel with a large group of people at once.
• Construction Projects: There are projects for skilled or unskilled workers! Even children with willing hands can help. Some of the projects available include: Build a house for single moms Help build a retreat center, used hosting teams, youth camps and local conferences Renovations at local churches Help build a kitchen for a feeding program
• Prison Ministry: Minister to the inmates, sharing the love of Christ. We will work together with the prison to put together a service (with worship and teaching) for the inmates. With only one prison serving the entire country, this is an opportunity to reach a lot of people on the outs of their community.
• Kids Ministry: These are kids who may have been neglected by their parents, or are in a rough situation where the parents were unable to care for them. Encourage the children, and their families, by running a vacation bible school (VBS) for a few days.
