Getting Ready

On July 14, 2014 19 youth and 6 adults will leave for a week on God's mission in Belize.  They will be staying at the Baptist Training Center in Camelote, located in the Cayo District west of Belmopan, the capital city of Belize.  Our youth will be leading a children's camp in cooperation with the Belize Baptist Association's local team.  The youth will be teaching, leading in worship, serving as counselors, organizing games, and supervising 40-60 children ages 8 - 12.

About half the youth mission team went on the 2012 mission trip to Belize.  That trip made a lasting impression on them, and there was an overwhelming consensus among them to return to the country again this year.  Six of the youth recently graduated from high school, so this will be their last mission trip as youth of First Baptist Church of Marion.

The map shows the location of the Baptist training Center near Belmopan in central Belize.  Our week will end with a day of R&R in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye on the Caribbean Sea.

Parents and family of our mission team, our church family, and everyone are invited to support our mission team through daily prayers.  For those who wish to formally partner in prayer, there is a sign up sheet outside the FBC Marion sanctuary where you can sign up for a specific day.  As the mission team prepares each morning, they will hear the names of the prayer partners for that day.  

Every attempt will be made to update this blog daily while we are in Belize.  Internet access is limited at the Baptist Training Center, and bandwidth limits the ability to upload pictures.  We will do our best to share our experiences.

Thank you for your support of the 2014 Youth Mission Team!
