Belize Mission Trip

Each summer, children all across the United States enjoy participating in the excitement of Vacation Bible School, but what about the rest of the world? A mission team from Calvary Baptist Church in Elizabethton recently helped to provide the spirit of VBS to children in the small villages of Roaring Creek and Camelote, Belize during their recent mission trip. They started off the week with two fun days with kids from nearby villages. The fun days truly were fun including Bible stories, music, face painting, crafts, balloon animals, t-shirt making, water balloon fights, and the best of all ice cream. During the rest of their stay, the team evangelized to the nearby village of Camelote while distributing much needed food as well as solar powered lights. At least one person came to know Christ during their visit. Calvary’s pastor, Joe Sorah was also busy throughout the week equipping Belizean pastors to lead their congregations, and their music director, Elmer Sams, repaired over 60 bicycles during the trip. While in Belize, the mission team joined the people of Camelote for some very lively church services.
