BELT Passion Pathways
Mark Twain reflected, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why”. God has gifted you and prepared significant works for you to do. So match your passions with the dreams of God and join an exciting opportunity with BELT to make a difference in the world.
Yachts for Life
Sailing the South Seas: Yachts for Life
The sea can sometimes be wild. At times, there is high risk. But there is also high reward. Experience an out of the box adventure you’ll never forget as you experience the smiles from those who have never had visitors in decades.
With an initial project to reach all of Fiji’s outer islands (60 to go) with Bible training and community development, an experienced captain is needed to be responsible for a maritime yacht and its operations.
BELT team members are also needed for 2 yachts, who have no fear of the sea, are called to remote places, are able to operate cross-culturally, can teach, and also have an aptitude for seamanship (no experience needed).
Audio Bibles
Storytelling for oral learners: Audio Bibles
80% of the world learns best through oral means (The Orality Network). Provide those with limited access to the Bible as well as oral learners an audio Scripture resource in their heart language. Containing 70+ key worldview stories of Scripture on micro SD cards that fit into cell phones or solar players, make the spoken Word come alive for many who will otherwise never read it.
BELT for Kids
Shaping the next generation: BELT for Kids
With more than 2.2 billion children on earth (Humanium), we have the opportunity and responsibility to build a legacy for this next generation so they too can know and love their Creator, enjoy His care and input, and live free from the consequences of bad choices.
Government and Justice
Influencing the influencers: Government and Justice
The world is plagued with corruption and injustice – politically, economically and socially. Justice—morally right behavior and treatment of people is a consistent theme in the Bible. Share God’s instructions for governing righteously with city and regional officials so that communities may have hope to experience principled and impartial leadership.
Community Development
Making a practical difference: Community development
The gospel is both spiritual and practical. Loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself encompasses community development. Use simple tools to respond to the needs of the marginalized in a holistic manner. Serve Jesus by serving the needs of the least of these.
Global Opportunities
Impacting the places on your heart, join one of these locations to begin touching lives!
DR Congo
Situated in the center of Africa, the DRC is rich in resources and beauty, yet is struggling due to its history of war and corruption. This is a time of great opportunities for the church seeking healing and empowerment.
Make a difference in a place eagerly responsive to the teachings of God’s Word. Join a short-term team or position yourself long-term to reach out to the 11 regions with more than 30 people groups in the north-east. In partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators, impact DRC’s hungry communities eager for training.
Mexico
At the heart of Mexico, the eight most central states are less than 1% evangelical Christian. This least evangelized area in all the Americas is called the Circle of Silence, the darkest place in Mexico. BELT Morelia desires to reach these 53 unreached people groups. Needed (with the ability to speak Spanish):
Seminar Coordinator: Facilitate the planning process between YWAM Morelia and the local community/church/SIL (field arm of Wycliffe) in preparation for BELT seminars.
Translation Coordinator: With new and ongoing projects in different people groups within Mexico, this person would coordinate translation of materials into the local languages before BELT seminars are given.
BELT Promotions: As doors continue to open with local churches and different people groups, a representative is needed from YWAM Morelia and Morelia BELT to go to different conferences, churches, and events.
Bridge Team: As seminars within different communities continue, this person would help lead a team that would do monthly follow-up visits in these communities to continue the discipleship process, Bible engagement, and building relationships.
Frontier Leader: Of the 13 people groups that are unreached in Mexico, YWAM Morelia has gained access into one of them. A person is needed who would be willing to plan, prepare, and lead trips into the other 12 groups to do research and to help open doors for Bible Translation.
SIL Alliance: As doors have opened with SIL/Wycliffe/UNTI, a person is needed to focus on visiting translation projects to build key relationships and to consider the best way to partner BELT teams with each project.
Nepal
Surrounded by the majestic Himalayas, this small nation was the only Hindu kingdom in the world. Now, under Communist Maoist rule, the future of Nepal is uncertain.
