INTRODUCTION

Since 1977 the Central America Church Growth Study Project (PROCADES), a ministry of the International Institute of In-Depth Evangelization (INDEPTH), has carried out a series of surveys on the Protestant Movement in each country of Central America. The purpose of these studies is to get a clearer picture of the "face" of the Church in each country and region, and to work with Chris­ tian leaders and their congregations in the task of fulfilling the Great Commis­ sion in our generation.

The results of the PROCADES surveys have provided us with valuable and reliable information, which has helped us to evaluate, in a responsible manner, the advance of the Protestant Churches in Central America, a growth pícture that hopefully reflects the true growth of the Body of Christ in this region, although the two are not necessarily synonomous. Our major concern is for the integral growth of the Body of Christ in Central America, and to train Christian leaders for the mobilization of their churches in the hope that the resulting growth will truly be that of the Body of Christ. Our interest is not denominational aggrandizement, but the authentic and integral growth of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ--Kingdom growth and not "church" growth.

One of the results of our studies in Central America has been the produc­ tion of this volume: DIRECTORY OF CHURCHES. ORGANIZATIONS, AND MINISTRIES OF THE PROTESTANT MOVEMENT IN BELIZE. This is volume seven of our directory series; directories for other countries have already been completad in final formo Unfortunantly, three of the directories have not yet been published, but photocopies are available from our office in San José, Costa Rica. In addition to the directories, we are also publíshing a series of research-in-progress reports and a hístoryof the expansion of Christianity in each country. A composite volurne , World Christianity: Central America and the Caribbean (MARC !World Vision, 1982), was pub­ lÍshed earlier this year, edited by Clífton L. Holland, director of PROCADES. Now in preparation is a one-volume study in Sparrísh , Una Historia del Movi­ miento Protestante en Centroamérica (INDEF!PROCADES, scheduled for pub lication in November 1982).

Our research on Protestant Church Growth in Belize began in May 1978 with a visit by Miguel Suazo and Clífton Holland of PROCADES. At that time we became acquainted with Mr. Daniel Ness of the Eastern Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities, who was director of the Mennonite Centre in . Daniel had already begun a study of Mennonite groups in Belize, and the prospect of helping us do a complete study of the Protestant Movement in Belize was of great interest to him. Consequently, Daniel accepted an invita­ tion to become our official interviewer for Belize. Interviews with denomina­ tional leaders and pastors of independent churches were conducted byDaníel from May to November of 1978, at which time Daniel returned to the United States to assume other responsibilities. Holland returned to Belize in early November to collect the data that Ness had compiled from the íntervíews , and together they determined how many interviews were still pending or incomplete. -4­

In order to terminate the project in Belize, Mr. Otis Brady of the Southern Baptist Mission offered to help through the end of the year. However, it was not until May of 1979 that a11 of the interviews were finalized and we began to compile the present directory for Belize.

Unfortunately, at that time, PROCADES did not have the funds to pubhsh the Belize Directory due to commitments in other countries, mainly in Guatemala, where similar projects were underway. By the end of 1979, most of the ínter­ viewing had been completed in Central America, with the exception of Guate­ mala, but we still did not have enough funds to publish a11 of the Directories. It was not until December 1981 that the Guatemala Directory was published, thus completing the directory projects in every country of Central America.

However, by then the information contained in the directories of El Salva­ dor, Honduras and Belize was out of date and the surveys needed to be re­ peated and the directories updated. We are now in the process of doing just that ,and the Directory of Belize is being made available in its draft form (May 1979) in order to aíd in this process. Xerox copies of the directory are avaü­ able from our offices in San José for US$3.50 (includes postage and handling). We ask for our reader's cooperation in carrying out this task by sending us any additions or corrections to the directory. . By way of sumary, tlús Directory Lncl udes inforrratien en 179 Protes­ tant churches and 96 nassions, or a total of 275 Protestant canqreqations, with a total estinated merrbership of 16,775, which is approximately 13.3\ of the total populatien of Belize as of Hay 1979 (estinated at 126,000). The projected size of the Protestant Caml.lnity (or Protestant population) at that tirre was 49,338 or about 40% of the total populatien. The Direc­ tory lists the names and addresses of 53 Protestant groups (dencminations or independent churches) in Belize, as well as inforrratien en the inter­ national headquarters of each group (if any was reported). In conclusion, 1 would líke to thank the foliowing people for their valuable help in making the publication of this directory possible:

Mr. Daniel Ness, Eastero Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities Mr. Otis Brady, Southern Baptist Mission Mr. N. T. Dillinger, Conservative Baptist Home Mission Society Mr. Gordon Lee, Gospel Missionary Union Mr. Onésimo Pot, Church of the Nazarene Mr. John Coliier, Outreach for Belize Limited Mr. Daniel Barrientós, Research Assístant, PROCADES Miss Sandra Gómez, Secretary, PROCADES Mr. Miguel Suazo , President of the PROCADES Committee, Guatemala

Our hope and prayer is that the Lord's work will continue to grow in qualíty and in quantity, in maturity and in number, as the people of God are faithful to the Risen Lord in His command to "Go and make disciples ajnong ali peoples ," Our motivation for this church growth study has been that the Directory, the research-in-progress repor-ta, and the written history of the Protestant Movement in Belize will provide new information for evaluatíon and -5­ planning, in order to motivate church leaders to train and mcbñíze their con­ gregations in faithfulness to the Great Cornmíasíon , for the integral growth of the Body of Christ in this corner of God's world.
