Okay-- in fact, it's about the size of Massachusetts.
See the family resemblance? Maybe slightly off-key second cousins, thrice removed, or something like that? I think so.
Land mass might be about where the similarities end between Belize and Massachusetts, though.
Well, except for maybe their relationship to the coastline. Trust me, I searched for more similarities.
On January 7th, The River church in Blacksburg, VA will be taking a group of 15 people to Belize to engage in a missions project, establishing what we hope becomes a long-term relationship with a town in the Toledo district of Belize called Punta Gorda. Over the passed several years, the River has begun their relationship with Punta Gorda, Belize by supporting a medical clinic, a Christian school, and an orphanage in Belize in conjuction with Laughing Out Loud ministries. This year, The River sent our first year-long missionary, Brain Lamm, to Belize to work with LOL in building up the ministry there.
We are incredibly excited about what impact for the kingdom of God these steps will make in the lives of people not only in Punta Gorda, but throughout the world.

Will you take up the charge to carryout the charge to make disciples of all nations, near and far, and continue blazing a trail for God's coming kingdom in Belize?
