The Christmas Shipment has Arrived in Belize!

The Christmas packages are here, sorted and ready for the children to arrive on Saturday!  It is going to be such an exciting day; wish everyone could be here to share in the joy and excitement.  This will probably be the only Christmas gift most of these kids will receive so we thank everyone that took the time to send a gift! 

Michael; Belize Police Officer

Today Michael came up to the Hearts of Christ mission site in Roaring Creek Village, Belize to pickup a Christmas package from his sponsor.  Michael has been sponsored by this family since he was about 8 years old.  Michael graduated from high school and went on to graduate from the Belize police academy.  Today, he was all smiles as he told us about his new profession and how it has affected his life.  We thank God for placing sponsors in the lives of these Belizean children; it is making a difference!  We not only have the opportunity to provide them with a quality education but also to talk to them and teach them about the good Lord! 

Christmas Shipment to Belize

The Christmas shipment to Belize is now being prepared for transport.  Hundreds of packages for sponsored children were delivered in Morristown, TN in the last three weeks.  These packages are now being boxed and loaded for transport to the shipping port.  Along with the Christmas packages, all the school supplies, backpacks and mission supplies will be shipped to the Hearts of Christ mission site in Roaring Creek Village, Belize.  Join us in prayer as this shipment is prepared and arrangements are made for transport.  Many thanks to all that donated supplies, packed Christmas packages and volunteered during the deliveries and packing times. 

 

PRAYER VIGIL TONIGHT!

Tonight many village ladies and youth have gathered at the Hearts of Christ Children's Ministry mission site for an all night prayer vigil!  I know these lovely people will be praying for this ministry as they sing, praise, pray and fellowship.  So dedicated and devoted to the one they love, Jesus Christ, the one and only.  The Hearts of Christ on site coordinator, Alicia, and her mother, Juanita, will be in the midst of this group tonight.  Thank you ladies and young students for your service and prayers!

 

 

 

 

 

 

JULY 2014 MISSION TEAM

We had a great trip with 19 team members serving with Hearts of Christ Children's Ministry on the school sponsorship program.  The team helped to register over 700 sponsored students from 52 government schools in Belize, Central America.  The week was filled with reviewing the students report cards, presenting awards to students with high averages and perfect attendance, taking their booklists for ordering books for September, taking photos for their sponsors, helping the students write letters to their sponsors, distributing new school uniforms, sizing the students for shoes and clothing, sharing Christ as each student came through discipleship and distributing shoes and food in various villages.  Team members sponsored children that were on the Hearts of Christ waiting list; children that desperately need financial help to attend school; what a blessing to the children and their families.

JANUARY 2014 MEN'S CONSTRUCTION TEAM

Busy! Busy! Busy!  A team of 10 men from Tennessee served with Hearts of Christ Children's Ministry in Belize this month.  They had learned that one of the remote Government schools was going to tear down the children's playground because the school could not afford the badly needed repairs.  The men's team visited the school and completed the needed repairs so the children can again use their playground.

 

This village family has lived on a Hearts of Christ property for about 2 years.  They were living in a generator room while the father worked as night watchman for a property owner in Belize.  The husband and wife have 12 children.  The men worked on the house last year and went back this year and added a new bedroom on the house.  I can only imagine the joy in getting a little more space in the tiny home.  All the school age children are sponsored through Hearts of Christ and this has been a huge blessing to the family too. 

 

 

The men made some improvements to the Hearts of Christ mission house in Roaring Creek Village by enclosing some of the storage areas.  So thankful!
