Formerly know as British Honduras, Belize is the smallest of the Central American Republics in both population and land mass. Although the official language is English, about half the populations speaks Spanish as their primary language. Spanish churches need to be planted in Belize. There is some work going on for which we thank the Lord, but much more needs to be done. We plan to visit some of the over 100 villages in the northern and western parts of the country that have no local church. There will be opportunities for preaching and soul winning. Make you plans to come with us this summer.


Nestled between Mexico, Guatemala and the beautiful Caribbean Sea in Central America, Belize is a diverse and interesting nation. Once a British colony, it claimed independence in 1981. It boasts the world's second largest coral barrier reef, as well as a culturally mixed population. Descendants of early Mayan, European, Asian, and Middle Eastern civilizations live together in this tropical nation. English and Spanish are both widely-used languages.

This cultural diversity provides a great opportunity for the church. Although Belize is a professed Christian nation, the gospel has been lost in superstition and paganism. Life is tough and conditions are primitive for many natives of Belize. They need the loving witness of missionaries with a heart for God and the Great Commission. What would God have you do for the people of Belize?
