About Belize
Belize is a nation on the eastern coast of Central America, with Caribbean Sea shorelines to the east and dense jungle to the west. It is a great place for students to be introduced to international missions because: it allows them to see one of the poorest places in the world, most of the people speak English, it is low in cost, it’s just a short flight away, and it is fun! The team will be performing a drama in rural communities, doing VBS, and sharing the Gospel in creative ways.
