James Rackley Ministries

In 2023 the belize team held bi-weekly teaching sessions with the youth of kiononia on zoom. Lighting was provided for a satellite church in san pedro columbia which was birthed out of a children's program. Support is provided to this children's outreach each month along with the purchase of toys for the children and travel expenses to disburse them. Monthly support is also provided to children's programs at southside assembly in belize city which is infested heavily by the cartel. Some children of the cartel attend these meetings. In february, a family who had been a recipient of our food basket program was baptized and the entire family returned to god and the local church to serve. Though a fb outreach from the media department of koinonia church, we made connections with a pastor in malawi africa. We sent funds and food after a cyclone and many children were instantly orphans. Assistance was sent again in august. Widows in the orange walk, belize community were also assisted and we hosted our first in person vbs training post covid-19, with 70 child workers from all parts of belize. Tuition assistance for two students from koinonia was also provided along with tuition assistance for many kechi mayan children who attend our spc programs. Of 70 children who received shoes in christmas of 2022, 33 are still attending weekly programs and seven adults have joined church. In september and october, teachers' trainings were hosted at kiononia church, funded totally by our organizaiton. In november, an online training was funded for churches in africa, providing laptop and internet, food and various items. More than 70 leaders from three different countries attended (malawi, mozamique and zimbabwe). In december, once again we hosted a shoe distribution for 67 children in guatemala who live in extremely poor communities. Additionally, 25 food baskets were given to poor families in belize during december.

We provide monthly support for odem Ministries as well as other organizations which further spread the gospel of jesus christ.

In 2023, the organization hosted three teachers' tranings in mexico along with vbs in april and september. Leaders were encouraged and provided with resources to be used in their local churches. Pastors were blessed through food baskets which we provided. Additionally, we held seminars for pastors on a monthly basis. The center is a bulwark for the community, leaders and pastors. During the summer, team members worked with children's outreach, traveling to france with odem Ministries. Our team hosted child outreaches in the state of chiapas in southern mexico. In the months of november and december, our team leader traveled to guatemala to minister at vbs programs in three various locations. The average attendance was 500 children. We also held village outreach events around bacalar called "happy saturday events" which presented the plan of salvation through clowns, songs and puppets. We also funded outreaches to huichol indian children in zacatecas furnishing toys and shoes. It was a wonderful year impacting over 1000 children, 150 teachers and endless families with the love of god.
