Ready, Set, Go!

Packing list, itinerary, orientation meetings, and now actually packing for the mission trip!  Sunscreen, work clothes, rain jacket, and all the other items needed for a week of mission work and experiences in Belize.  The days of anticipation are almost over.

We leave from FBC Marion early Monday morning.  Anyone wishing to see us off will need to be at church at 5:30 AM.  Just being in your prayers is enough, so don't worry about being there.  Our flight from Charlotte leaves at 10:00 AM with arrival in Belize City at 11:22 AM.  Note: during the summer months Belize dies not observe Daylight Savings Time, so Belize time is 2 hours earlier than EDT.

This blog will try to keep everyone at home in touch with the mission team of 21 youth and 8 adults while on mission in Belize.  Internet service is unreliable from day to day in Belize, but a daily post will be attempted.  Also, we are limited on posting pictures, so you may only see a text update.  There will be pictures to share when we return home.


Your prayers are greatly appreciated, as is the support our church family has given this mission trip.  We are all grateful to be representing our loving church family.

Commissioning service is Sunday, July 22 at 10:30 AM; and it is a part of the 150th church anniversary celebration service.  Don't forget the dinner that immediately follows the service.
