Geist said there are two ways to get in to the mission and Valley: One is by a walking rope bridge over Banana Bank River. The other is by ferry. The ferry runs only half the time as it is very outdated, but can take vehicles across. Plans are to one day have a permanent bridge across the river.

"Teams with many skills are needed including construction, medical, tutoring, mechanics, hair care, gardening, sewing, and other things, but the greatest need is simply love," Geist said.

"It was an honor to meet our Belize brothers and sisters," she added. "We hope to visit again soon, taking with us a team of Peachtree City residents. We plan to love and serve our Lord and these wonderful people. These words of Francis of Assisi come to mind when I think of serving in Belize, 'Go into the world and preach the Gospel. Use words if necessary.'"
