Waldorf students to serve others in Belize over spring break

waldorf-college-tuition-freezeFOREST CITY, IOWA – Sixteen Waldorf College students, faculty and staff will be traveling to Belize City, Belize, this March, to serve others as part of the annual campus ministry mission trip. The group departs March 6 and will return March 13.

“I think mission trips in general are a good opportunity for students to go out into a community and serve them in some way,” said Anne Marie Werthmann, campus ministry coordinator. “This is [also] a chance for some students to travel out of the country and experience a new culture, but most of all, students will have the chance to build relationships with other students and to strengthen their relationship with God.”

This year’s mission trip theme is “Love your #Selfie: Appreciating God’s masterpiece in the mirror,” and the group will be focusing on working with the church youth groups. In order to raise money for the trip, the students have held multiple fundraisers including selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts, a pancake breakfast at Immanuel Lutheran church, hosting an online Pampered Chef event and selling circle vests and scarves made by Sheila Willms, assistant professor of education. The Waldorf College Student Senate and the Waldorf Lutheran College Foundation are also helping to fund the trip.

Waldorf College campus ministry has organized this trip through Praying Pelican Missions, who have provided a way for friends, family and supporters to follow the day-to-day events happing on the mission trip. Waldorf student and employee attendants will keep trip journals, which can be viewed at www.prayingpelicanmissions.org/journals.
