Project ID: BZ0001-65032

The Lord has blessed the work of missionaries in the Lutheran Church of Belize. Five ministry points are in place, and the growing mission team is looking to establish a Lutheran Church in each of the six districts of Belize. Current work is happening in Orange Walk, Cayo, and Stann Creek Districts, as well as neighboring Chetumal, Mexico. Plans are to reach out to Belize, Toledo, and Corozal districts and continue expansion into the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.

Seine Bight has a permanent worship facility with expanding outreach. In Belmopan and surrounding areas, children look forward to weekly VBS-style classes. Just outside Belmopan, in Valley of Peace, a new church and preschool provide a place for children and their families to hear the Word of God. Outreach efforts focus on catechism classes, homework help, English language classes and sports activities.

Our missionary pastors mentor a Belizean pastor and a Mexican pastor who have completed the seminary’s online FPH program in Spanish.  During visits to them and their congregations in Orange Walk District and Chetumal, Mexico, the missionaries share the gifts of God that He has prepared for them.

Located along the Belize River, Camp Concordia provides a great place for hosting workshops, short-term teams, retreats, and classes. The hope is that this camp will become a hub of Lutheran learning and education for Belize and Central America. People from all over Belize are coming together to hear His Word. With God’s grace, what was once only a vision, is putting down solid Lutheran roots.
