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!

 

 



"The Christmas Mission"

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since we posted on the blog.  It has been a very busy time, as you know....!  We just got back from Belize a few weeks ago and it was a whirlwind down there; over 400 children came to receive their Christmas gifts from their sponsors.  It was such a wonderful time of thanksgiving and praise.  As soon as we hit American soil, the rush began to prepare for the local mission project in our local school system.  "The Christmas Mission" blesses many many children in Hamblen and surrounding counties.  As teachers and principals contact our local coordinator; she prepares to shop, pack and prepare for the delivery of their Christmas gifts.  The teachers and principals are constantly aware of the needs of our local children and Hearts of Christ Children's Ministry has been involved with these contacts for several years.  Children coming to school without warm clothing, no winter coat, holes in their shoes...  this is a need that Hearts of Christ is so involved in. 

On Tuesday, our local coordinator and 7 volunteers will be visiting several local schools in Hamblen County and delivering "The Christmas Mission" to these children in need.  We send out many thanks to all the people that have so graciously given so these kids can have Christmas; thanks to all the volunteers and bless our coordinator as she continues her service throughout the year for children in need.  January through December, she is on call to help meet the needs of our local children.  Hearts of Christ Children's Ministry; blessed again to serve another year in the Kingdom.  May all we say and do be for God's Glory!
