Belize Mission Trip Goals (Mar. 10-16, 2013)

Belize Mission Trip March 10-16 Eleven church members, friends, and a staffer will fly to Belize on Sunday, March 10, to advance our Living Waters for the World (LWW) mission, provide a medical clinic for three days, and construct tables for two schools in Armenia. Members of the mission team are Anne Backus, Caleb Bost, Teresa Brittain, Dale, Chuck, Ashley, and Ellie Hadden, Carolyn Krause, Mary Mullins, and Dan Terpstra. Hannah Norris, FPC director for youth & children’s ministries, is the team leader. The mission team will be staying at Jaguar Creek, about six miles from our adopted village of Armenia. Chuck and Dan will meet with folks in Corzol associated with Water Mission International and Belize Presbyterian water projects. The team will also explore with Jaguar Creek a proposal to install an LWW system there and perhaps make it a center for teaching Belizeans how to install and maintain LWW systems elsewhere. In another water project, sterilizer tubes will be delivered to the Octavia Waight nursing home, where the Belize team from our church helped install an LWW system. Dale, a nurse practitioner with the Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge, will hold a medical clinic for three days—two in Armenia and one in the village of St. Margaret. Mary, Teresa, and Carolyn will assist her in distributing medicine to those in need. Hannah, Anne, Caleb, Ashley, and Ellie will build and paint tables for the preschool and elementary school in Armenia.
