What is The iguana SQUAD

The iguana Squad is a Christian, non-profit charitable organization that
developed out of a mission effort through First Baptist Church in Conway,
Arkansas. Our primary purpose is to serve the people of Belize through the construction of Christian elementary schools that provide their children an opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and receive a quality education. In addition to our construction efforts we also host free medical clinics to help meet the medical needs of the people we serve.

Belize, formerly British Honduras, is on the eastern side of the Yucatan peninsula located next to Guatemala and Mexico. Belize was nationalized in 1981 and is immediately south of the Cancun area in Mexico. Belize is a subtropical country and home to the world’s second largest barrier reef formation. English is the official language of the country’s nearly 300,000 people. The native people group is a blend of Central American and Caribbean cultural backgrounds.

Our mission is to help the people of Belize living without knowing Jesus Christ and an education. Our vision is that each child will grow into a healthy, educated, and self-reliant Christian. This is accomplished through the generosity of our supporters, providing children with a quality Christian education and medical service. Our goal is to truly bless the lives of children, their families, and communities through our efforts to aid these people and improve their quality of life.

Happy patients from the 2009 Medical trip.

"The best way to switch to global thinking is to just get up and go on a short-term mission project to another country! There's simply no substitute for hands-on, real life experience in another culture. I urge you to save and do whatever it takes to participate in a short-term mission trip overseas as soon as possible. It will enlarge your heart, expand your vision, stretch your faith, deepen your compassion, and fill you with a kind of joy you have never experienced. It could be the turning point in your life."

Rick Warren in THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
(Chapter 38, pages 301 and 302).
