Today, we have more of Tara's story from her first trip to Belize. If you missed part 1, read here! And here is Tara's blog if you'd like to read more. Thank you so much for sharing with us, Tara! And if any of YOU would like to share your stories and experiences with Hearts of Christ, please let us know!
What's it like in Belize?
Well, in some places, it's beautiful. Take the Maya Ruins for example. It's gorgeous to look at and climb. You experience an incredible view of Belize and Guatemala from the top of the ruins. You see nothing but jungle and just a few roads.
And I mean, few.
There are only two main roads in Belize. They are paved. Most other roads besides that of the couple of big cities? Dirt and gravel. It's tough on your vehicle to say the least.
The sky and natural settings are immaculate...
...while most of the houses and buildings you see are decrepit.
The heat is intense, and the money is sparse. So drinking often comes out of a pouch instead of a bottle.
And at Hearts of Christ Children's Ministry, people come to the gates every single day, wanting the help of people who know Jesus.
Only HOC is without a missionary/missionary family to live on their grounds to help these people. The only exposure they are able to have with the people of Belize right now is through the sponsorships of these children. By ministering to the children, HOC ministers to the whole family. By giving an education and clothing to the children, the family has higher hopes of having a healthier state of living. And most importantly, by HOC ministering to the children, the entire family gets to hear and see the gospel.
The most important part.
