It has been a blessing to serve on TWAW Board since its inception.  God has allowed us to partner with the people of Belize  to make a difference in their neighborhoods and country.  Words cannot really express all the work that God has done since I first started going in 1998.  You really need to go and see for yourself.

If you want a hands-on mission experience that will impact you and your church there are numerous opportunities.  If you want an overall perspective of what TWAW is doing, a Vision Tour offers an excellent opportunity to see the many opportunities that exist for you to minister in Belize.

Dan Gallo

Northeast Regional Director

"I've been active with The Word at Work since 2002 leading over 24 short-term mission trips to Belize and working closely with Tim Tam on many fronts. I'm involved with TWAW because it provides me, my family and the people I bring on short-term missions the purest example of the type of life Jesus calls us to live--never ceasing to motivate us in our faith walk. If you're interested in deep, lasting spiritual growth, either personal or for your own congregation; come and serve with us in Belize, we look forward to serving with you."

Congratulations on being called by God to participate in His Work on this mission trip. These projects are only one part of the equation.   The greatest part of these trips is praying for God to do things only He can do.  This is the real excitement of mission.  We get to see God do extraordinary things, and many times we get to participate.   Those amazing things include changing hearts and minds and lives, building His Church, the building of the body of Christ, the sharing of Christian love between seemingly incompatible people, and other miracles we will witness.   So be praying about not only the successful completion of our assigned tasks, but that God will do the things that only he can do.   He will be glorified.

Cindy Wall

In 2000, my husband (after returning from his first mission trip) strongly suggested that I go on a mission trip outside of the US. Reluctantly I agreed and went.  Around that same time, we decided to read through the Bible and try to look at it as though we had never read it. Those two decisions have forever changed my view of Christianity.

I thank God for the opportunity to serve alongside my brothers and sisters of Belize.   My life has been enriched by the relationships that I have made in that tiny country. Christ called us to, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. "  What a blessing there is to receive by following the simple words of our Savior!  Sharing our faith in BOTH word and deed will change this world!

TWAW does incredible things through Christ, but doing Christ’s work requires two things:  hearing and doing.  I am constantly energized and amazed at the way TWAW actively seeks God’s will and relentlessly acts upon it.  We never know what God is going to place in front of us next, which is so refreshing and exciting.  Whether building medical trailers, building churches, or taking children from American orphanages to disciple Belizean orphans, TWAW does not ask ‘why’ or question whether the work can be done.  Instead, TWAW asks, “Why not?” CPA with KPMG for 3 years.  Attorney with Baker Botts for 2 years.
