GOD’S HANDS AND

Our ministry
Watching my mother as I grew up, inspired me to follow Christ as she did. It is both the private and public expression of her faith, that led to the founding of this ministry. Her faith was shaped by a missionary family, The Graham’s, who came from Minnesota to share the gospel with the people of my village.
My mother would often visit the sick, elderly and needy. With the Graham’s we ministered to the prison in Linum, where we held services. I still remember, as a seven year old, sitting on a bench at the prison waiting for the service to begin.
It is this heritage that I received from the Lord through my mother, that I desire to continue, making a lasting mark on all the people of Belize who are impacted by this ministry.

MINISTRY
When looking at the needs of people, we often focus on physical needs such as alcohol addiction, or those released from prison in need of employment or a place to stay to be in a healthy environment. And we are here to help meet those needs. But spiritual needs are also important. And this is where the Ministry of faithful Kings and Priests and the Paula Reyes Foundation comes in to offer a helping hand, both physically and spiritually to those in need.
In Belize, the lack of jobs is a major problem. Many people are unable to finish or even start high school, and lack the necessary skills and opportunity needed to thrive in their community. The need to develop programs and collaborate with others is necessary, and the resources to fund them is also of great concern.
The Paula Reyes Foundation specifically works with the prisoners in the Belize prison to provide their basic need and minister to them along with the Kolbe Foundation that runs the Rehabilitation program in the Belize Prison. We distribute tracks, books, and the Bible. We also help prisoners communicate with their family.
Another area of need is assisting single parents with young children. During the summer we engage in outdoor activities and take them on outings for ice cream and do artwork with them. Simple things like talking with them, making cookies, etc. make them feel loved. At Christmas, wrap gifts with them and teach them the story of Christmas.
We also assist in Biblical training and, as Certified John Maxwell Trainer, we incorporate his Business and Personal development training program.
As we meet their physical needs, the door opens for us to minister the word of God to them, and enables them to hope again. One amazing side effect is that as we minister to their needs, we find that we also are blessed.

Hear from …
When I first met Missionary Fidelia, I saw her passion to honor her Mother.
(God’s great commandment with promise). While observing her many
sacrifices, along with an active heart-compelling love for God & His Word, and for her Mother, and for her Belizean kinsman; I became convinced by her integrity that she is a devoted Servant of God. I have been greatly enriched by her Biblical teachings. I gladly support her Foreign & Domestic Missionary work.

I first met Fidelia Reyes when she came to our church prayer meeting seeking God’s consolation from the recent loss of her beloved mother Paula. She shared with me her mother’s life work as a minister and evangelist who had served her community and the prisons of Belize with all her heart. Fidelia shared the same passion, faith and ministry work together with her mother — an example and mentor throughout her life.
We have grown closer together as servants of Jesus and friends since that day, often observing her eagerness to seek wisdom, her evangelistic zeal and strong values of integrity, giving and service. She carries the same passion and commitment to serve the poor and the marginalized among her people in Belize as her mother did. Fidelia is now focused on carrying and expanding her mother’s legacy of Christian service in Belize by establishing the Paula Reyes Foundation in her honor.
As you read this, the Paula Reyes Foundation is opening doors for Christian service by Giving and going to help the beautiful people of Belize with the love of God, practical resources and the Good News that Jesus Christ is the Hope of the Nations.

About Belize
Though small in size Belize, is made up of many cultures and languages that reflect its rich history. It is the only English-speaking country in Central America. While English is the official language, many speak Spanish and Creole (a dialect spoken by a large portion of the population).
Belize was once an important part in the Great Mayan Empire, and has hundreds of historic ancient archeological Mayan sites scattered around the nation.
Belize is one of God’s magnificent and spectacular masterpieces, and the people have a strong appreciation for people, nature and animals. We give thanks to Almighty God for his divine protection over this Nation.
