Church of the Open Door's Youth Ministry will be sending 14 students and 4 leaders to Hopkins Village in Belize for 10 days of ministry. We join the bigger story of Open Door's decade long relationship with Pastor Herdie and his church as we strive to reach out with the love of Christ to those in this amazing community.

Scott's Update on Wednesday

We have arrived in San Pedro tired and filled up with love. Hopkins marked many on our team this past week and goodbyes were difficult. I am so very proud of this team! Their spirits have remained high through broken down busses, driving rain, and, for some, a day of sickness. The rain in Hopkins rivaled for many in the village any week in the last five or ten years. Slowly, the road outside our resort was covered with water and our opportunities to paint dwindled. The team stayed focussed on our motto : "Be where you are" and they played with children, visited families, painted the inside of a church, and stayed present to where God was.
I really posted this to give you a couple of pictures since the internet is better here. We look forward to sharing with you many of the stories that have marked us.

Thank you for your love and prayers.

Scott
