Project Sonrise

General

Classification: Church Extension
Type of Organization: Both (MSO/UMO)
Legal Name: Project Sonrise
Established: 1985
Alias/Other Name(s): Belize Basecamp

Organization Description & Goals:

Our main goal is educating and equipping the children of Belize with the gospel of Christ. We do that by helping keep less fortunate kids in school via our student sponsorship program and through the generosity of visiting teams. Our ministry, Project Sonrise was started in 1985. My wife and I purchased the property from a retiring missionary couple and signed on as Directors in 2010. Since then we have felt called to house short term mission teams eager to share the gospel! We can house teams up to 35 in size. What we do is really unique! First off we plan the trip WITH the team leader based on how he/she feels the team is best equipped/called to serve. Then we give them options of local ministry partners to choose from and plan their itinerary accordingly. Some teams come to VBS or bible Camp while others do Sports Ministry or Jesus Film showings in remote villages. Other teams opt to do construction projects or serve in the local schools, churches or childrens homes. We have also had team do concerts in the parks, street evangelism, disciple-making and pastor training sessions and more! We offer low cost (think TOTAL trip cost of $1000, including airfare!)gospel-centered, trips and we serve you while you serve! We also encourage teams to take sometime to soak up the culture and really experience Belize. See the needs so you can communicate to others back at home why they should consider a mission trip!

Core Values:

Christ-like Like many developing countries Belize has a strong need for mission-minded, compassionate volunteers to show Christ's love. Many of these young children and teens have been abused and brought up in a broken home, searching for love wherever they can find it. Or at least something that looks like it. They need to learn of the hope and redemption found in Christ. They need to know what true love looks and feels like and that Christ has a plan for their lives. They need Christ-like people to teach them what it is to live Christ-like lives. They need Christ.
