This summer, Open Door Believers Chapel embraced a truly special moment as we launched our Vacation Bible School (VBS) program with a vibrant burst of energy and joy. The first week of July was a time of great excitement and spiritual enrichment, filled with love and laughter as we reached out to our community in meaningful ways. Our mornings began with one team heading to Orange Walk and another hosting VBS at an art camp in the Kings Park area. Each location buzzed with enthusiasm as children dove into our VBS theme, Jesus is the Rock. Our afternoons were equally joyful as both teams reunited at Open Door, joined by additional volunteers, to offer a memorable VBS experience complete with crafts, music, and engaging lessons. We are especially grateful to the incredible team from First Baptist Church in Elijay, Georgia. Their generous support and energetic presence were vital in making our summer program a success. It was a true blessing to work alongside such devoted partners. Though we faced the uncertainty of an approaching hurricane, our faith and determination carried us through. We were relieved when the storm passed us by, and although we shortened our program to four days to ensure everyone’s safety, our spirits remained high. The decision to adapt our schedule only strengthened our resolve and commitment. In the week following, our outreach extended even further. Two more teams from our church set off to serve in Maya Mopan village and the beautiful areas of Blue Creek and Santa Teresa village. With 16 dedicated members, and the support of a cook on each team, we were able to continue our mission, bringing hope and joy to more children. A special note of thanks goes to Thrive Indianola in Iowa for their generous contribution of crafts for our southern outreach. Their thoughtful donation helped make our activities even more engaging and meaningful for the children we served. Our summer outreach was also marked by a touching moment when members of our worship team traveled to Elijay, Georgia, to lead worship at First Baptist Church. Reconnecting with friends and fellow team members from our VBS outreach was a heartwarming reminder of the bonds we’ve formed through our shared mission. Serving the children of Belize and sharing the gospel of Jesus is a blessing we cherish deeply. As a church, we are committed to following where the Lord leads us, and each experience strengthens our faith and unity.
