LOCAL MINISTRY TO CHILDREN IN TENNESSEE

 

This group served with Hearts of Christ Children's Ministry in delivering over 90 Christmas packages to children in the local school system.  Principals and teachers are in touch with the local coordinator for the ministry year round.  Children are always in need of shoes, warm coats, clothing and other things that their parents or caretakers cannot provide for them.  The Christmas outreach includes toys and other surprises for the children along with items to take care of their clothing needs.  Donations from Hearts of Christ supporters makes this outreach possible.  We thank you for your prayers, support and dedication to the ministry. 

 

As each child comes to receive their Christmas gift, they are told the Christmas story and given a Bible to take home.  It's amazing how many children don't know the Greatest Story Ever Told; the story of our Savior and how He came to save us.  Join us in prayer everyday for these children!

Adding On!! Mens Team December 2014

 

The Zavels boys were hard at work adding a bedroom on to this village home in Cottontree Village, Belize.  Along with their dad and other team members they gave this family an addition that was so needed!  The family of 15 was so blessed!  The children of the family were so excited to see the men coming and were there to help out everyday. 

 

 

The men's team serves in Belize with Hearts of Christ Children's Ministry every year in December or January.  They have a passion for repairing and building homes for the struggling families in Belize.  They can use some help; join them next year for another wonderful time of service and discipleship!

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.
