The Word at Work seems to be constantly changing, growing, and morphing into what God wants us to be.  We are so fortunate to be a part of what Pedro & Maria Perez are doing in Belize through Christian Sewing Partners of Belize ... take a moment to read more about our most recent development, as written by Pedro & Maria: [more]

"I was number 13 of 15 kids.  I grew up in a little town called Monkey River Town, southern Belize.  One of the my earliest childhood memories was of my aunt, who didn't really have any legs - no, she did have legs, but being of Indian decent (not Mayan, but from India) she was very short and had really long hair.  When she sat on a stool, which is what we considered a Kneading Bowl, made from the buttress root of a tree, her skirt covered up her legs.  I thought for the life of me my aunt had no legs!  she was very fond of me - of all 15 kids I was the favorite.

In late July, a TWAW hosted a group made up of two different churches in New Mexico-- First Baptist Church Carlbad, NM and Bethel Baptist Church Roswell, NM.  The team had raised money to purchase and install a solar panel system for a school in the Cayo district of Belize--El Progresso Government School.  The parts were purchased and sent to Belize on a shipping container, the team arrived and was ready to go.  There was only one problem,  the computer systems that the Port of Belize use to clear containers went down and our container was locked in the Port.  In the end, the container was release on the second to last work day of the trip!  This gave the team one day to install the solar panels, battery bank, inverter, etc. [more]

The funds have been raised and construction has begun.

Presbyterian Home of Amarillo, Texas with teens from the King's Children's Home of Belize are working together to help those less fortunate than themselves.   [more]

In reflecting on my latest trip to Belize, I'm struck by my own insignificance and am grateful that God lets me witness the things He is doing.  So much of what I do is simply to watch what God is doing all around me and try not to get in the way... [more]

Before Christmas TWAW sent two containers to Belize.  I asked our volunteers in Belize to capture the moment with pictures to give our supporters a taste of what it's like to unload a shipping container.  This particular container had lots of heavy things on it.  We loaded the back of the container with a forklift.  But Kenny had arranged for help, and our good friend Francis Woods came with a front-end loader and help from the prison.
