So that everyone knows, there is a hurricane heading towards Belize. We are tracking the storm and will adjust our plans as needed. Our hope, and prayer, is that the storm turns away from Belize.
Tomorrow (Saturday) we are going to be in the Cayo District (Western Belize), so we are in the best […]

The ride was long, and we had to fight a headwind during a long bit of it, but we felt great after it all!
On the seventh day God rested, right? Well, for Nick and I we decided to rest on the third day. And let me tell you, it was GOOD! Since beginning our journey, we haven’t had time to rest much. We woke up early this morning again to beat the pounding sun. […]
On the way south to Orange Walk, we stopped by a small food stand along the highway. While we were there we met Pastor Jim who does mission work in the area of Sandhill. This chance meeting was one of the types of meeting we were hoping to have by riding across Belize […]
After a brutal day riding to Orange Walk in the sun, we headed 8 miles northwest along another road to the town of San Estevan. We went up to see the church that ROW and New Life Ministries have partnered to build in that village. The San Estevan church is one of three […]
Well we made it to Belize City in one piece. The total mileage was 47 miles. We were a bit smarter today by starting our ride way before the sun awoke. Hooked up our headlamps and bike lights and started our way to Belize City at 4:30 am from Orange Walk. […]

Before the ride started, we watched the sun rise. We would later regret not having watched the sun rise while we rode (It gets HOT!)
Finding shade in the public park in Corozal hit the spot.
On the road, in the sun, with no shade in sight.
Taking a break […]
The initial plan before Nick missed his flight yesterday was for me to hang out for 3 hours in the airport. So after grabbing my bags, I made a temporary home in the airport restaurant. After ordering a cold Coke, I noticed the daily specials that were being advertised on the table. […]
When I send teams to Belize, one of the big things I tell the groups is to not get too worked up when things don’t go according to schedule. Things work on a different schedule and at a different pace in Belize. If you are hoping to have materials delivered at 11:30, then […]
