WITH A MISSION
MISSION

involve men and women with missions, by encouraging them to form
chapters, to raise funds, and to assist with construction and other
mission projects designated by the Board of Missions.
ADVANTAGES
- Men
& Women of faith brought together for a common cause, united for
Christ.
- Raise
much needed funds for mission projects.
- Organize
teams of skilled craftsmen from which to draw on for construction
projects.
- Establish
teams of skilled craftsmen that other churches can call upon for
local projects.
- Bring
men together for Christian fellowship.
- Hopefully
open the eyes of those that have been closed mined to missions.
- Promote
unity within the church.
Funding
Needed for the Following Projects:

and septic tank system for Pancotta School in Sand Hill ($4000)
- New
roof and classrooms for Faith Church in Hattieville
- Additional
classrooms for San Lazaro School
- Bathroom
and septic tank system for San Lazaro School
- Windows

With
Men with a Mission (MWM) Chapters established in “each” MP church,
just think what that will mean for the young people of Belize. 42%
of the population of Belize is 14 years or younger which equates
to 100,000 souls to be won for Christ. There are villages in Belize
that may have one church. The establishment of MWM chapters will
create monetary funds that can be used to build new churches and
repair old ones. Example: if MWM has 100 chapter members and each
is paying $120 a year in dues that will provide the Board with $12,000.
That $12,000 can be used to budget projects in Belize. At present,
the only funding mechanism is the Brand Memorial Easter Offering,
which will still be in place and is much needed. However, the Board
does not know from one year to the next how much the Offering will
be. Our goal is to have all MP churches connected to a MWM Chapter,
no matter how small the group may be. “Mt 18:20 For where two or
three or gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of
them.”

Pray

Sand
Hill School Project
Here
are some recent pictures from the school project. One is the unfinished
bathroom. We will begin laying blocks again this month and be ready
for a work team to come down and put the roof on. Also, we are planning
to put a roof on the computer/office building the same week.
The
churches of Sand Hill and Hattieville are certainly reaching people
for Christ. We had another good weekend of services with 15 more
baptisms. One baptism was very special for Claudio as he had the
privilige of baptizing his father. Pray for these churches as they
continue to grow.
