Belize VBS STMT left this weekend!This year, St. John Church is partnering with three other churches who are learning to be on mission with us. That means forty two short-term missionaries will be headed to Seine Bight, Belize for the fifteenth year hosting a VBS for around 400 children in the village and a sports camp. We will also be hosting youth, young mom’s and men’s Bible studies. Our PT/rehab team will be making home visits and we will be doing some painting as well in the village. We continue to build strong relationships with this community, and several young adults from the village are now assisting with these activities. It is exciting to see how God is at work.

We ask that you pray for them and continued transformation through God’s word for both those we serve and those that are serving.
