By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On March 11, 2023, a group of 10 volunteers from churches in Jefferson, Pennsylvania arrived in Belize as part of a mission trip for 1 week in Santa Familia, Cayo.

According to the Jeffersonian Democrat, the team will be in Belize from March 11 to 17, 2023.

Team member Don Shaffer said that some members have been to Belize and others will visit Belize for the first time.

The team brings along donations including quilts donated by W.O.W. (Women of Works) at the Evangelical United Methodist Church.

The volunteers will engage in bible school sessions and work on a new church building.

“For ministry, in addition to the Bible school, we get food and take out to families in need. We meet with them, talk to them, pray with them,” Shaffer said.

“The church we are affiliated with down there recently started a satellite church in Bullet Tree. Last year we did attend a church service there. This year we are going to do a day of Bible school and do the food delivery there as well as what we do in Santa Familia,” he added.

The team works through Praying Pelican Missions which connects local churches through mission trips around the world.
