TRANSFORMING LIVES IN A CHANGING WORLD
|
|
Article by Betty McNally

Our trip to Belize in Central America was a wonderful experience. We found the Belizian’s to be a proud and spiritual people living at poverty level. Their faith in God is strong and they were so appreciative of anything we did for them. There were two other Mission groups with us in Belize, one from Illinois and one from Texas, who we immediately bonded with. At the Cornerstone Presbyterian High School we diligently cleaned and organized the library to prepare it for school opening, while the group from Illinois helped work on the high school building by painting inside and cementing the outside walk. The Texas group put in a new ceiling and replaced the support boards under the building of the San Pedro church hall. Dr. Wiley Smith, MTW missionary, took us on a tour of the Presbyterian MTW clinic located in the countryside of Patchacan, which the Belizians walk or ride a bicycle approximately eight miles to. At the San Pedro and San Jose Presbyterian churches over 200 children(each)attended the VBS programs made available to them by the Mission groups.
The Missions do make a difference in the lives of these people! We witnessed it first hand. What is needed now is for more church members to volunteer their time to help build schools and churches, to educate the people so they can in turn get employment to become self sufficient. The Belizian’s have the faith, and the ultimate goal with God’s help is to make this transformation in their lives a reality.
