I will be in the country of Belize in Central America from September 18 - 22. I am going with three other people: Dr. David Nichols, Jo Dobbs and Barry Jones. This is a short term mission trip with three major goals: 1) to encourage women in Belize in leading and facilitating Bible Studies 2) to minister to the people of Crique Sarco (a small Indian village near the Guatemalan border) and 3) to research the potential need for providing or implementing a prosthetic program for children with limb differences.
Please pray for God to prepare the hearts of those we will teach and work with. Pray also for our safety in travel and for protection from illness (it is the rainy season and hurricane season and there is potential danger from flooding and mosquitos and some of the huts in the village have been burned down lately via an unknown arsonist). Pray for our various meetings with government officials and physicians...for wisdom, discernment and guidance. This is a different trip for me (in the past I have been involved in medical/dental mission trips) so pray for me to be sensitive and relatable as I talk and encourage women in Belize. And the field of prosthetics and limb differences is certainly a new world for me but I am excited at the possibility of how our family could be used to help others as we have been helped this past year.
Thanks so much....Julie
