Seasonal Missions

Belize International Mission Trip

Since 2013, members of FMUMC have embarked on an international mission to the Burrell Boom Methodist Church and School in Burrell Boom, Belize. Typical work includes construction and renovation projects, and leading a Vacation Bible School for children. The trip ends with a hard-earned fun day where team members either take a guided tour of Mayan ruins or relax on the world-famous beaches. This mission is perfect for anyone ages 7 to 70, whether they come by themselves or with their families, and typically takes place in July.

“The personal and spiritual growth I've experienced getting to serve in Belize the past three years have been incredible. One of the reasons I love this trip so much is because of our church's consistency - we go for the people in Burrell Boom, we serve with them and we develop relationships there. You can see our progress each year, too; not just in the buildings or projects we work on but also in the children and people we spend time with. When they remember your name, or a Biblical activity we showed them the previous year, it's just the most incredible feeling.” 
In Christ, Emily Jayne Ivy
