Hundreds of people from the United States have been a part of the work in Belize and have seen firsthand the good that is being done there. The Jones family has served faithfully in that mission field for years, growing that church from just a handful of believers to over one hundred in attendance on any given Sunday. These leaders, and others with them, work tirelessly to build up the body of Christ in that corner of the world. They serve not only in leading worship services on Sundays and Thursdays, but also in blessing their community through ministries like Dream 514. They, and many of us with them, have planted and watered, and God has given the increase. Now they need a new building.
The facilities in which they meet have served them well for years, but the church has outgrown them. Many of the classroom spaces are too small to be of any practical use. The office spaces are also cramped. There are only two toilets in the building, one for men and one for women. Many Sundays the auditorium space is so full that even a single chair more cannot fit. Eventually, this overcrowding will discourage new people from being a part of this church. Bigger and newer facilities, on the other hand, will do the very opposite.
The plans for a new building have already been drawn. The only thing that is holding us back from beginning construction today is the money. The new building is projected to cost around $170,000 US (and perhaps a bit more depending on the price of materials and when furnishings are factored in). We already have more than $60,000 pledged or donated, leaving about $110,000 left to be raised.
We are asking for your help in providing these brothers and sisters a new facility that can aid them in the good work they have done for so many years and want to continue doing. Please, pray for this project and for the church that meets in Belize. If you are able to give or have questions and want more information, contact Dannie DuLaney at (501) 412–4337, or call our church office.
