Inmediatamente después de la destrucción causada por el huracán Hattie en 1961, Amish Mennonite Aid, una agencia de ayuda, empezó a trabajar en reconstrucción en Belize y organizó la primera congregación de menonitas Beachy Amish en 1962. Este grupo tiene seis congregaciones con alrededor de 175 miembros. El grupo tiene congregaciones relacionadas en Canadá, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, y los Estados Unidos.

In Homestead Acres, Esperanza village, Belize a young married couple, an Amer- ican man and a Belizean woman sit on the porch of their house built by Amer- ican hands in Belizean style (built on wooden poles). The man still wears his ‘work clothes’, a dark shirt and jeans. His wife wears a long, covering pink dress with puff sleeves, and a white veil. They are relaxing now and enjoying the time together, after a hard day of work. The man has been working at the chicken business next to the house all day and his wife had her ‘washing day’ and she also finished her rice and beans for the upcoming unit meeting. They have been looking forward to this moment and enjoy every minute of it. On the volleyball field below, the youths have started a game of volleyball. They gathered an hour ago at the church, for singing English and Spanish hymns, to listen to devotions of a Belizean youth, and to pray in their separate prayer groups. Now they are on the volleyball field and one of the boys is telling the girls to stand on one side of the field, while the boys stand on the other side, so he can give everybody their team number. After a short while, there are teams on each side of the net and the boys give every team member a position in the field and start the game. The couple listens to the encouragement of the young people: ‘nice try’, ‘good hit’. They remember the days when they used to play volleyball with their youth group and think about the day when their child will play the same game with the church people his age. The sound of the porch fence makes the young couple look in that direction. A family is climbing the stairs, an American missionary family. They run the mission post next to the chicken busi- ness. The couple saw the family eat on their little porch with their ten children a few hours ago. The woman carries her youngest child, while her other nine chil- dren are already downstairs to play and watch the volleyball game. The Belizean and American women sit together and talk about working on a quilt tomorrow for a poor family at the sowing fellowship of church women the next morning. The men wander off together to discuss the situation of a young couple that wants to join the church.
