Why Belize?

The Belize Project began out of Christ Presbyterian Church about 16 years ago when the church was looking for an English speaking country close to Nashville that could be a location for short term mission trips. Mac Kelton, a local entrepreneur went on a trip and caught a vision for a ministry there and began traveling down several times a year and taking different folks with him with various backgrounds. From there, many people from around the country joined the vision to start work on various missions....farms, fish farms, rehab, prison ministry, schools, churches, church leader training, education training, micro lending, etc. The Belize Project empowers people through restoration and wholeness for the glory of Christ.

Where do donations go?

We are supported primarily by donations but partner with RESTORE, and Cul2vate (local farming non profit). We are raising money in Belize and are working towards building a larger base of financial support there.

All trips and teams that go to Belize pay 100% of their travel and lodging costs.
