First full day of ministry... - Hays Family in Belize - July 3, 2008

by Jillian Cross | July 4, 2008 10:53 PM

So...we got up early this morning and after breakfast at the hotel, we headed out for the Unity Church. We arrived and set up the VBS, and the kids started to arrive. There was a total of 70 kids there, and it was a crazy time, but it was amazing. The kids loved it and had so much fun, and we did too. We enjoyed hanging out with them and just loving them. And so then we got back on the bus and headed over to the second church, St. Andrews, where we began our construction projects. After lunch at the church, we began the work. Some were painting the inside, some on the scaffolding repairing the ceiling. We got a ton of work done today, and the church is going to look amazing when we're done. But then, after a couple hours of working...we then headed over to Sister Cecilia's Nursing Home, where we visited with the senior citizens, just talking with them and playing music and singing with them. It was a great time, and a blessing for all of us. So after our time there, we drove the bus back to the hotel and took some time to rest and clean up. Then we ate some really good dinner at the hotel, and then had a mission training session. We spent some time with each other, sharing life stories, and just practicing sharing them. It was a really good time. And then we wrapped up our evening with our team meeting, sharing highlights and discussing our day. It really was a full day of ministry, but it was an amazing day of just seeing what God has planned for this trip, and its just the beginning. Its very exciting, and we are so excited to see what else is coming!
