MISSION SUNDAY MISSIONARIES
BELIZE
Our Belize Mission work of 55 years started in 1969
when one person was baptized. This work went from
this one person to having Churches of Christ throughout
the country of Belize. We are currently working with
the Belize City Church of Christ, Corozal Church of
Christ, Libertad Church of Christ and Ladyville Church
of Christ.
In 2021 we started an annual ‘Leadership Seminar’. We
invite all the Belize Church ministers to come to Belize
City Church where Jeffrey conducts the seminar.
Each year we conduct a Campaign to Belize where a
gospel meeting is held, doors are knocked, and Bible
studies are done in the peoples’ homes.
David Diego is the minister at the Corozal Church
of Christ. He preaches and teaches the adult Sunday
School class as well as Bible studies using the “God
Speaks Today” book. There is a Church of Christ
School there in Corozal and most of the teachers from
that school attends The Corozal Church of Christ. They
run their van to pick up the members for each of the
services.
Richard Diego is the minister at the Libertad Church
of Christ which is supported by the Corozal Church.
David Diego also assist in the worship at Libertad.
They run their van to pick up the Libertad members for
services and take them back home after Church.
David Smith is the minister at the Belize City Church
of Christ. They now stream their services. They use
the God Speaks Today study book and baptizes many
throughout the year. For their new Christians they
conduct a study on “Now That I Am a Christian”.
Albert Longsworth is the minister of the Ladyville
Church of Christ. They meet in the Ladyville
Community Center for their services. They started
Zooming their services during Covid and continued
when they started meeting back together. They have
people joining from all around Belize as well as the US.
William Mahler is the minister for the Dangriga and Silk
Grass Church. He has been there for approx. 2 years. I
first met William as a teenager in Corozal and have seen
him grow into a mature Christian. William has been a
youth minister in Belmopan, as well as preaching and
teaching in many of the Churches there in Belize.
Belize is a poor country where their income is
dependent on tourism.
