Work teams involve people who feel a sense of call to minister to people who have no finances or ability to have their physical needs met.
Many Belizeans work hard and long hours for little pay and are able to save money to pay for their housing in phases. The cost of supplies is manageable, but the cost of labor can be even more expensive.The cost of supplies is manageable, but the cost of labor can be even more expensive. People often start building, but run out of finances before their project is finished or are out of funds because of underestimation by their contractor. It is the vision of this ministry to do construction of many types: carpentry, cement masonry, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and other miscellaneous tasks. Belize has building codes, but not nearly as stringent as in the US.
The length of the trip would depend on the building project and the complexity of the task. There is also a need to work in resource development, such as farming, land development and maintaining current resources. Currently there is farming of shrimp, fish, poultry, citrus, bananas and sugar, etc. There is enough land that can be developed to provide for the needs of the communities, churches and individuals.
