So, Monday arrived with a beautiful sunrise and everyone while extremely worn out was packed up and ready to go to the airport early! It was a sweet time of sharing the love and gospel of Jesus with so many In Belize, but we were all ready to get back to our own homes and families. :)
We had a great group of team members this year as always and I love seeing the body of Christ come together with everyone doing their part but with no part being more important than the other.
Although, we still have seven sets of batteries that need to be shipped to the Hearts of Christ mission, over 60 wheelchairs were distributed along with countless rollators, walkers, crutches, canes, diapers, pads, Bibles, Gospel bracelets, food packets, faith-based kid items, candy and hygiene kits. So, God definitely made an impact in many people’s lives who live in Belize and I know from the thank yous and words of gratitude that hearts were touched as only He can do. We know that seeds were planted to expand God’s kingdom, and He worked in people’s lives doing things that only he knows need to be done.
Coming back to the United States is always a welcome for us but also a challenge coming from a simpler and slower paced word to the world of information overload and complexity. We like to call in First World reentry. Adjustments will come but the return to the sweetness of connecting with believer in a third world country will be welcome. :)
