Don and Cindy Palmer answers that question with a smile on their face and testimony on their lips. They were first introduced to missions through friends and later through mission trips. lt was through both of these that God began to prepare their hearts for Belize. After much prayer and a desire to serve God in any manner that He would choose, they gave up their jobs and Businesses in High Point, NC. They sold all of their belongings and moved to Placencia. Placencia is a small remote town along the southern coast of Belize. lt is here that they would begin their Christian Ministry in the Mayan villages. lt is here that churches would be planted, Bible studies held and children taught the Word of God. Along the way, God has remained faithful through many circumstances. The first being Hurricane lris in 2001 which was a category 5. lt was during this event that they lost their home, 250 Bibles were ruined and their church sustained structural damage. Don placed Cindy on a plane to North Carolina and he began living in his pick up truck. Bathing was a rare privilege. His daily menu consisted of beanie weenies, crunchy peanut butter and jelly along with water. Don felt blessed. Everyone around him was searching for water and food. However, leaving Belize was just not an option for him. Don said,"These are my people. I've got to do what I can for them. l've got to go to the villages and let them know l'm still living and that I still care for them. I just can't disappear off the face of the Earth". He stayed for 6 additional weeks in Belize and later Cindy joined him to rebuild their home and their ministry. The Palmer's have witnessed God's hand in their ministry time and again. Whether it is through lives being changed, an unexpected church planted or a devastating hurricane, God has renewed their vision and provided graciously. Don and Cindy believe God would have their Christian Ministry serve the people of southern Belize. The Christian radio station will enable us to reach out to the majority of people in the region. As the Christian ministry continues to grow there are more needs of financial support, prayer support, Bibles, work teams and pastoral training. MINISTRIES OF THE SON OF GOD is a 501c-3 Ministry |
