2023 Mission Team to Belize!


We are so excited to have the opportunity to serve our church, our community, and the locals in Belize with an eyeglass mission to Belize in August 2023. We have been blown away by the support of our local community. 

Our trip is now only a few short weeks away! Check back here for mission updates.

We made it to Belize!

It was a very long day of traveling but we made it to Orange Walk, Belize!  We were met at the airport by our gracious host and were even welcomed into his home for delicious dinner.  Finally made it to our hotel for a little relaxation and a Bible devotion before an early bedtime. It’s very warm but our hearts are full and we’re ready to get to work!

Day 6

 Day 6: Today was our fourth and final eye clinic and it was our busiest day yet. We served 179 people and gave out 221 pairs of eyeglasses. In total for the week, we served 530 people and gave out 679 pairs of glasses.  Since it was the last clinic, we also had to say goodbye to our interpreters. It’s amazing how close of a relationship you can develop in such a short time. A few tears were shed but we are so grateful for the help of these kids.  So many patrons asked when we would be back as they had family members who need glasses but couldn’t make it this week. It’s hard to put into words how amazing the Belize people have been. They are gracious, welcoming, appreciative, patient and kind. Even in the extreme heat, they smile, laugh, and say thank you after waiting for hours in line. They have taught us all so much and we hope to return one day soon.
