 Belize 2008

This July, 24 youth and chaperones from our church visited Belize City in Central America
for a mission trip with Group Workcamp. We stayed at a Nazarene High School. Our mornings
started at 6:30 to beat the heat. Our work sites were homes and churches. We also visited
an orphanage and senior citizens home. We built homes, replaced walls and roofs and painted.
But the most important thing we did was interact with the people we served. Children were
hungry for our attention and they, along with their parents, worked right alongside us. We
gave them physical help; they gave us spiritual encouragement. They showed each of us a new
perspective on what it means to be thankful and have a joyful heart, no matter the
circumstances.
The first priority of Group Workcamp is spiritual growth and the organization sees to that
with worship programs and youth group devotional hour each day, and by the example they set
themselves.
We are truly blessed to have had this experience and look forward to more service in the
future, here in Greenwood as well as far away.
Dear children, let's not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our
action... 1 John 3:18
