Belize Medical Mission Trip

This Saturday, June 30, Lynetta and I will be heading down to Belize in Central America on a Medical Mission trip. We are going with a group from the Maury Hills church, Carmack Bulavard Church of Christ, and the Hohenwald Church of Christ. Lynetta went with the group 2 years ago. This will be my first time.

According to Lynetta and the others who have been before it is a life changing experience. I believe that it just might be. Because, after all of the horror stories about bugs, snakes, monkeys that bite, sickness, heat, hour long boat rides through less than ideal conditions, rude customs agents and bad plane flights, Lynetta still longs to go back. It has been her dream ever since she came back the first time to return again and take me with her. So, here we go.

So please remember to pray for us. Pray for the safety of our team. Pray that we will all model the love of Jesus to everyone we meet and everyone we serve.

Oh yeah, and while your at it, please pray for our teenagers that we will be leaving at home. Pray that they will behave and not kill each other before we get back.

To see daily updates of our trip go to the Maury Hills web site, or Russ Adcox' blog page. (Both links are at the bottom of the page.)

You world travelers, You! A friend of a friend and her Dr. husband recently returned from a medical mission in Belize....must be a really needy spot. We will be praying for your trip and for the kids while you are away.

Can you tell me more about mission work in Belize. As a part of our men's fellowship group at the Leesburg church of Christ I was assigned to pray for the national and spiritual leaders in Belize (1 Timothy 2:1ff). I'd like to know what to pray for, can you give me any guidance?\
