Encounter is sending 5 mission teams to minister and pour into the people of Belize. Each Encounter Mission Team will be made up of approximately 10 leaders, speakers, and prayer ministers and be sent to one of 5 host parishes across the nation. Each team will deliver an 'Encounter Mission & Weekend Intensive' to each of the host parishes and surrounding area.
We desire to spread hope to the nation of Belize by experiencing the reality of Abba Father’s love through healing prayer ministry, prophetic prayer ministry, homebound prayer ministry. We desire those suffering from sickness, loneliness, and a lack of hope to experience healing and hope. We desire to feed those who hunger for more teaching, understanding, and equipping to minister with Jesus to the people around them. We desire to teach, equip, and activate the Catholic community of Belize to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their families, places of work, and parishes.
By joining the Encounter Mission to Belize, you will not only be part of transforming lives in Belize, but you will also experience a personal breakthrough in your own faith and prayer ministry. As you witness the Holy Spirit move powerfully through healing, prophetic ministry, and evangelization, your heart will be stirred, your confidence in prayer will grow, and you’ll receive fresh outpourings of grace. This mission is a chance to deepen your relationship with Jesus, expand your understanding of the gifts of the Spirit, and step boldly into the calling God has for you. Expect to be transformed as you minister to others!
Your participation will not only change the lives of others but will also provide you with personal moments of impartation that you'll carry back home to impact your own community. Prepare to dive into a vibrant atmosphere of faith, where your presence is not just welcomed but essential to the unfolding story of hope and healing. Join us on this February trip—Belize is waiting to be touched by the extraordinary power and love of Jesus.
The tentative locations for each ministry location are listed below:
Revival for the youth of Belize through demonstrations of the power of the Holy Spirit and Jesus’ love. Encounter mission teams will be facilitating healing services for interested Catholic high schools and primary schools associated with or near the host parish.
Ongoing equipping and building of key areas of the Church in Belize. A teaching, equipping, and ministry retreat (Encounter Weekend Intensive) will be delivered at the host parish led by experienced Encounter leadership and speakers.
