I had the privilege of being the first veterinarian to work under Fishers of Men. My team consisted of myself, Dr. Victor Gongora (of Belize), Larry Payne, and Matthew Cooper.  The first requirement from Belize was that I speak for 2 hours to school children.  Unlike here in the States, I was able to present the plan of salvation as a part of my talk.  On the second day, we worked at the Belize zoo.  We worked with eagles, owls, and a tapir. Day 3 was spent with a very conservative Mennonite community, vaccinating their horses.  Day 4 consisted of setting up rabies clinics in poorer villages.  We had to be accompanied by officials from the health department. Before the end of the day one of the officials prayed to receive Christ!   This trip will forever be a highlight of my life.  The work of Buddy Hardy and Fishers of Men is amazing and I look forward to another trip.

We began our work early on Tuesday morning.  The demolition was easy as the structure was very much in need of replacement.  The work was hard and hot, but I can say it was more than worth the effort!  To go into a situation with so many needs, and three days later leave having finished a structure which will significantly improve a family’s living conditions is very satisfying.  But more than completing a physical structure, we followed the example of Jesus, “Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brothers, you have done it unto me.”  Throughout the week we gave to the people of Belize, but God gave back to us.  I believe God will use the “seeds” we planted to bring spiritual fruit in the lives of the people we touched.
