Thanks from Belize – Amieka Myers graduates

University of Belize scholarship student, Amieka Myers, will officially graduate on Saturday, June 16th. Our church has been sponsoring her since she finished Grade 8 (Standard 6) at St. Hilda’s School.  She has persevered despite many difficulties and has accomplished what has never been done before in her family.  They, as well as we here at Christ Church Cathedral, are very proud of her.

 

Hi Ms. Bev,

First of all, I want to extend a huge thank you to you and your church for the assistance with my graduation that’s coming up so soon.

I’m happy everything has worked out regarding the graduation. I will stop by at UB to see Mr. Palma and pick up the graduation regalia tomorrow morning.

I’m not sure who I’m going to invite but my mom is definitely a part of the invite list. I wish you were near to experience this moment with me; nonetheless, I know you will be here in spirit. I will send you some pictures so you can see what it looks like.

Once again, thank you and your church for all the kindness you guys bestowed upon me and my family throughout my educational journey. It is truly a blessing!!

Regards,
Amieka Myers

Thank you from scholarship student Paul Jones

Dear Ms Bev and church congregation at Christ Church Cathedral,

I am writing this letter to thank all those who have supported me during my four years of high school. I am so grateful to God for bringing you all into my life.  Without Him none of this would have been possible.  I am happy to say I have made you all proud even though my time in high school is almost over – just a couple of months to finish.

I will never forget you and what you have done for me.  I promise to keep you all posted as I continue to study.  Throughout my four years of studies there are people who have inspired me and uplifted me, especially the Lord.  Throughout my four years of school I have been doing well academically.  Now that I am in my fourth and final year of high school, my goal is to graduate and go to university to study forensics or marine biology, but mostly forensics.

My family and I want to thank you and your congregation for all the support.  I have four months until graduation and I will send you pictures of my graduation and a short video clip of me on my graduation day.

Once again, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.  My prayer for you all is that God bless you always.  I love you all so very much.  Thanks again.  I will keep in touch with you.  Love you all!

Thanks,

Paul Jones

The Belize Mission Team

Rebecca Butler, Caryn Gunter, Nat Fetter, Carol Ann Melvin, Dean Geoffrey Hall, Kelley Hall, Jim Morell, and Beverly Morell

is scheduled to depart Saturday, 27 January 2018 and spend a week serving at St. Hilda’s Anglican School in the village of Georgeville. Teams from the Cathedral have been travelling to Belize since 2005 and a close bond has been built between our church family and the school and church there. You, at the Cathedral, are our “Home Team” and we ask for your help in one or more of the following ways – (1) pray for the Mission Team daily as they prepare, travel and serve God in Belize; (2) make a special offering so we can buy educational supplies and a computer-compatible projector to take with us for the school; (3) read the daily blog on our website and follow what the Away Team is doing daily at the school; (4) support the Team on the Sunday of commissioning (11:45 a.m. worship on 21 January).

Thank you from Amieka Myers

Here is a recent letter from Belize scholarship student Amieka Myers following the final payment of tuition for her now completed program. Although the scholarship is completed for Amieka, her plans are to obtain her teacher’s license and save some money on her own to return to University and further her education.

Hello Miss Bev,

I would like to let you know that I have received the funds from Ms Indira, it was very nice of her to do us that little favor. I would also like to thank you and your church for the assistance you have showered me with over the years. I appreciate every single thing you guys have done for me. As of today, I will start gather my documents for the license and I will keep you updated on how that’s going.

I can’t wait to see you and your team on the 28th. I know you must be very excited for your trip to Belize. I pray you

have a safe trip to beautiful Belize.

Regards,
Amieka Myers

 

You Better Belize it!

It is official! The 2018 Belize mission team has booked their flights and will be starting preparations soon for their mission trip in January. The team consists of Carol Ann Melvin, Rebecca Butler-Goddard, Nat Fetter, Caryn Gunter, Dean Geoffrey Hall, Kelley Hall, Beverly Morell and Jim Morell. Please keep them in your prayers, along with the staff and students at St. Hilda’s Anglican School, and stay tuned for ways you may be able to help out as part of the home team.

While the mission team will fund their own expenses, contributions to the Belize Mission are welcome. There will be other  expenses, including the cost of the mission projects (yet to be determined) and support for St. Hilda's School.

But one fund-raiser is the sale of limited edition Cathedral lapel pins ($20 each). Speak to the Dean or visit the Cathedral office.

Most especially, please pray for the members of the mission team and watch for other ways to support this reaching outside of our Church walls.

 
 

Greetings from Ms. Indira Spain in Belize

This is a letter we received from Ms Indira Spain, teacher at St. Hilda’s as well as mother of one of our high school scholarship students, Anique Hernandez.  Anique is currently in Grade 10 at St. Ignatius High School in San Ignacio.  She is a very good student and is also involved in extracurricular activities at her school.  Her mom wrote this letter in June.
Greetings from Belize.  As I sit to write I can’t help but feel overwhelmed at the idea of connecting with some of the very best people I know, whom I’ve never met but whom have given to me one of the greatest gifts of my life.  Your generosity surpasses that of anything I have ever seen.  I remember being a smart student, achieving a whole lot in primary but struggling through high school because of financial reasons.  Anique is blessed to have an entire congregation behind her and for that I wish to extend a sincere thank you to every member of your church who have contributed to my daughter’s success.  Whether they have contributed financially or with a word of prayer we are grateful to all of you for keeping us in the warmth of your Jesus-filled hearts.  
Find attached Anique’s second form report card.  She has done well but I believe she can do much better.  The last lap of second form was a little challenging for her as the teachers tried to cover material that will be needed for third form.  Her grades fell a little and for that she sends apologies.  I am very proud of her despite the little drop and I’m sure that you guys will be as proud. 
Thank you again for everything you do for my child and I.

Congratulations to St. Hilda’s and Jocelyn Herrara
