Opportunity: WT Belize 2026 Jan 2-11
Location: Belmopan, Belize
Opportunity Type: Work Trip Adventures
Dates: January 2 - 11, 2026
FYI: The posted trip charge no longer covers the housing expenses since we are staying at a local Hotel. Until we have housing at the camp we'll be using a hotel in the capital about 25 minutes from the camp property. There are incredible ministry opportunities for your construction mission group when you serve on a Belize mission trip. This small country is the only country in Central America where English is the official language, so it will be easy for you to communicate directly with the local community members. Word of Life Belize recently acquired 25 acres of undeveloped land full of large palm trees at the foot hills of a national park rain forest. It is a place of God's beauty surrounded by a majestic landscape! We need skilled laborers to build cabins, build restrooms/showers, build sports complex, dining halls, meeting halls, landscaping, walkways and more. Construction mission trips are vital to fulfilling the Great Commission.

We mobilize volunteers to use their skills, talents, and time in construction projects that will further God’s kingdom in Belize. Word of Life Belize vision is to begin land development to host camps, conferences and discipleship centers that will share the life changing message of Jesus to teens, children and their families. We also dream for the camp to be a place where Belizeans will be equipped with the Word of Life to reach their own generation. The goal is to house 400 campers and have a swimming pool, guest cabins for ministry teams, a large dining hall, sports complex and a conference center seating 700. This project is starting from the ground up and the perfect opportunity to get in on a long term ministry project. Construction is almost all wood so perfect for so many people to get involved.
