Safe Arrival

Faith and Life Fellowship Ministry arrived into Belize and made it safely to  Hattieville  this afternoon and are excited for the week of Ministries. 

Safe Arrival

Sunday Worship

by Shari Somerville | September 8, 2024 7:50 PM

Today the team came to church and we praised God  together as one body of Christ.  The  word of God was given today by Deacon Garfield Young and he spoke on being obedient and  submissive to God. When God tells us to go, we should GO. Trust in him and he will direct our paths. We were also blessed to see our sisters in Christ praising the Lord with the song Way Maker and blessed with a contemporary praise dance by Ms. Indira.  Wow, God uses each and everyone differently and it’s all for his glory.

Food Packaging

by Shari Somerville | September 8, 2024 8:00 PM

Preparing the food packages with some of the local members of Hattieville Baptist Church. The Bible says in Deuteronomy  15:10 - “Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and everything you put your hand to.” How amazing is this that we can serve together!

School Visit

by Shari Somerville | September 9, 2024 3:00 PM

Took off running this morning. 

The team visited with Mrs. Carmela Gallego - Principal of  the Hattieville Government School - and got some time to discuss with her and prepare for the visit that will be done with the entire student body on Wednesday. Seeing there are some teachers in the group, it was exciting to share and learn about the differences between the school systems.

Elderly Home Visit

by Shari Somerville | September 9, 2024 3:09 PM

The team had  the pleasure of singing and sharing the word of the Lord with the elderly residents at the Golden Haven Rest Home in Hattieville. They were so happy and sang along and participated in the little activity that was done with them. In Isaiah 46:4 it says, “Even to your old age, I am he, even when you turn gray, I will carry you. I have made and I will bear. I will carry and I will save.” How wonderful is it when we can love on our elders and let them know that they aren’t forgotten.

VBS Day 1

by Shari Somerville | September 9, 2024 9:43 PM

What a first day of VBS!!! The kids showed up and had an awesome time in the Lord - painting, sports and learning more about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

The  verse taught at VBS today was  Romans 3:23 - “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” We all need that reminder about what a mess we were before we became followers of  Jesus.

What a blessing it is to bless others!

The team did several home visits through the neighborhood of Hattieville and gave out food packages. They took the opportunity to speak and pray with them.

VBS Day 2

by Shari Somerville | September 10, 2024 10:14 PM

Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates his own love towards us in this: while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

The kids learnt this new memory verse today at VBS. They showed up, participated and had fun learning about the word of God.

School Presentation

by Shari Somerville | September 11, 2024 9:55 PM

Beautiful day to share the love and word of God to young minds. The team did a skit and dance presentation to the entire student body of Hattieville Government School. Later on, they were allowed to visit each classroom and sit with the kids and talk with them; as well as the teachers.

Blessings to Families

by Shari Somerville | September 11, 2024 10:00 PM

Today was the final day of food distribution throughout the community of Hattieville. Accompanied with some of the local members of Hattieville Baptist Church, the team set out and was able to connect with and bless several families. They were able to talk, evangelize and pray with them. 

VBS Day 3

by Shari Somerville | September 11, 2024 10:09 PM

The final day of VBS saw Hattieville Baptist Church full of kinder to grade 8 students. They came ready to have some fun, learn more new memory verses, make edible arts and crafts and hang out with the team one last time. 

The memory verse today was Colossians 3:13 - “Bear with each other and forgive one another. If anyone of you has a grievance against another, forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

It’s a great reminder for Kids as well as us adults.

It has been a pleasure working in Belize. Pastor Mark and his wife Shari, and the church in Hattieville have been amazing to work with. Each part of our trip so far has been inspirational from the Sunday church services to the visit at the nursing home, meeting with the principal and engaging in VBS. God is doing great things here in Hattieville, and we are just pleased to be a part of it.

Blessings on your journey
