Youth Mission Trip to Belize 2021

The NextGen Ministry of Calvary Road (NG712 & Rise Members) are once again headed down to Central America to the great Orange Walk District of Belize. This will be our 4th mission trip to Orange Walk and the 4th visit to the wonderful church family of Iglesia De Dios Pentecostes Lirio de los Valles (Lily of the Valley). Through the years, our team has developed deep and lasting relationships with the people of Orange Walk. Their love for us and ours for them have cultivated a very prosperous ministry partnership where we continue to see the hand of God work through our partnership.

 

This year, we, Lord willing, will be involved in a church expansion project where we will help construct a new and additional education space for their growing church. We will also be joining in to offer hospital care ministry, street evangelism, home visits, mercy ministry through Blessing Bags, and provide a Vacation Bible School (VBS) for the children of Orange Walk. In years past we have been blessed to minister to over 120 children during our weekly VBS program. During VBS we share Bible stories, provide Christian music and dancing for the children, as well as craft projects, sports ministry, and snacks. When the children come to VBS, their smiling and eager faces warm the hearts of our mission team and this is one of the highlights of our week on mission.

The projected cost for each team member’s trip is $1,800.00. We thank you in advance for your prayer and financial support as we, once again, head to Belize. We are bringing many new team members this year as well as many who have been all four times in the past.

 

We are thankful for the opportunity to minister in this fashion and we look forward to providing a mission report to Calvary Road very soon after we return.

 

May God bless your loving support for our adults, teens, and college students.

NextGen Pastor

My name is Sherri Dawson and I am so excited to be returning to Belize this summer. I am celebrating the 10th Anniversary of my first Missions Trip and I praise God He has allowed me the opportunities to serve with the youth of Calvary Road Baptist Church in such amazing locations. Belize, and more specifically the people of Lirio de los Valles of Orange Walk, are like a second family.

These children are so precious and so look forward to our visits. We will be continuing some construction work on the church building and helping throughout the community. The verse God has laid on my heart is Isaiah 6:8 I heard the voice of the Lord saying “Whom shall I send and who will go for us?” Then I said “here am I! Send me.” I have come to realize that in order to make a difference in someone’s life, you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful, or perfect. You just have to care enough to be there. As long as the Lord continues to brew the passion I have for missions, I plan to be there. With His help and strength, I pray to continue for many years to come. I have been blessed to go on these trips with all three of my daughters and in just six years, I pray I will be able to take my first grandchild onto the mission field.
