Amish & Mennonite Community in Belize! 🇧🇿
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 бер 2023
- Today was an adventure day as we drove 90 minutes from Belize City to Barton Creek, then onwards to Spanish Lookout searching for Amish and Mennonite communities.
I’ll be honest, it was tough to find residents who would talk with me on camera. But I did enjoy the challenge, and the whole day was impactful and I gained a very good look into the lives of the Mennonites and Amish community here in Belize.

So cool to see different types of people in Belize 🌑!!!! It's such a beautiful country!!
I wish I could visit Belize, too, some day. It sounds like a heavenly place (except from the climate which is likely to be way to hot a humid for me)
The Mennonites' work ethic is on another level. I once saw a 15-year old boy take a combine harvester apart, clean all the parts and put the whole thing back together again in 13 hours without taking a break. They take the line 'idleness is the enemy of the soul' quite literally.
Their views of community...if we would all be so willing to help each other..what a wonderful world.
Yup 1 agree.. nice person.. nice people and work hard...
Great respect for the Mennonites. Love this video. Thanks Crist
Awesome video Chris. Very informative. Looking forward to your next video. You make the world a better place. Thank you so much...keep them coming
Just love your visit with that elder guy in the community, such wisdom, so articulate.... I was apart of that community that he spoke about in Belize, all change gradually after independence in 1981... very sad... 💕💕🙏🏼
Chris you are doing good job to show us the world, may God bless you
It’s so refreshing to see how humble these people are, appreciate the great content please don’t ever stop uploading, your channel has become one of my top 3 channels to tune into, very knowledgeable and overall jus love the raw content!!! 🙏🏾❤️🫡
Thank you Chris! This was such wonderful and informative video with what you were able share. I really enjoyed this video!
The gangs of Belize can probably learn a lot from these groups as they stated chruch every Sunday and meetings in the week that ppl want to actually attend
I agree!
Awesome video. Will keep watching.
Knowledge is wealth, thank you Chris for this video keep learning and posting, one love from Toronto 🇨🇦
Thank you for taking us alongside
I loved this day; I learned so much as well..Thank you Chris!
This Video is absolutely amazing !!!
The Omish and Mennonite community choose to live in a very unique way in this day and age. I live close to an Omish community East of Toronto. It amazes me how they can build a house or barn in no time and its very refreshing to see how they all pull together to sustain their way of living. I was so surprised to see this in Belize. Pretty cool. Great video.
Peaceful and productive people. It was a very interesting and educational video. Appreciate your time and wisdom but most of all your approach and clean and pure but honesty that made them comfortable and to open up, which in turn is very beneficial for us Belizeans a better pattern of how to live with one another and to appreciate life, birds etc but with the foundation and guidance from God. My ten year old daughter was the one who introduced me to your channel Chris. I'm now locked in as your style and approach makes people welcome you. Enjoy our lovely country 🇧🇿 Belize 🙌
They are such beautiful people with such a beautiful work ethic. They truly enrich every country they are in. They make everything better.
Great Piece Chris…U got lucky with those whom you were able to interview today…keep it Coming. Poncho C Saint
I missed the premiere! Thank you for doing this video, I can probably speak for a bunch of us in chat when I say we appreciate this rabbit hole being explored
Thank you Chris Must List for this educational video.
It's amazing what you do Chris.I see things I've never seen before.Thank you for that
Heck let's do part #2 Secretive Mennonite Community. Thumb's up!!
Thank you for everything you do for the people of Belize chris much love and respects I know you can't help all but you did your best for some of them again much respects and blessings
Every new day is like school..Today,I learnt something else.Thank you Chris for this achievement. Gob bless them all in this community 🙏.
Keep up the good work and your way too
Well done as usual Chris !!!
Hi Chris, nice to meet you. Thanks for sharing
Best video chris 🇯🇲 very interesting.....
Go Chris, GO !🤙🏻😎
I am throughly enjoying your videos. Hello from Texas and God bless you
Thanks so much
I learned a lot, thanks. It did make sense to me that a Mennonite and Amish married couple could go to the same church because of how they practice a more decentralized form of worship. Also I'm planning to move to SE Asia next year and would prefer to dress more like Mennonite and Amish do and so it was interesting to see them in a hot climate.
Beautiful video
Hey Chris. Great content. Belize has a lot to offer, different cultures to learn about. Should definitely check out the Mayan culture.
Coolest video yet, more if possible
I love to see thing like this it makes your culture so rich
Chris loved all your Belize video's. But his is the one i've been waiting for. Check out Caye Caulker next. Belize people are so happy .We will be back in Belize this June
I will be in Caye Caulker and San Pedro in a couple days to film. Thanks for watching!
@@ChrisMustList I know a few people there that get you to see some real stories happy & background of the island life.
@@vincelouden1339 Yes, i'd love to meet-up with locals that have stories. If you have IG add me @chrismustlist and any info would be great! Thanks
@@ChrisMustList i don't have IG. I have FB & WhatsApp though
Chris make sure you see the Blue Hole beside Belmopan it’s beautiful.
Very beautiful interesting videos 👏👏👏👏🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿💯🔥
Love your videos bro. You did Belize Good 🇱🇦✅💯⭐️💚
lsure did. This srgment was so so interesting. Thanks I must visit next time I visit my country of origin
Everyday I look forward to a new "Chris Must List"
Very interesting!!!!
It is a relief to see something different. Belizean could learn a lot from the Mennonites.
hahahahha
I agree with your comment's argument about this, we have to diversify our knowledge and work for life. But agriculture is one of the important branches of life because human beings definitely want to eat. So it is not wrong for us to tell the community to try to build an agricultural empire.
There so talented mi husband gat his car engine rebuild back there last year for $1400 ❤
Haha the Mennonite’s are well known for smuggling. Seems odd the narco jets always land on Mennonite farms. If you didn’t know now you now lol
Like what? How to launder money? How to land drug plane?
I am leaning more through you... its wonderful world love it
You're so versatile and you meet people whee they are and not where they come from or going through....As a black woman I've always been interested in them and to see how they unite and join in on good food and fun is so refreshing....We the people in the world needs love like this 🙏💞 Chris please continue to show us behind the scenes where too many content creators won't go and the Amish people are genuinely nice so watch out Chris it's contagious but you're already filled with sugar and spice I'm rooting for you 🙏💞💞
Wow. I learned something new. I had no idea Amish people were in South America. Very very interesting community. Thank you for sharing 👍🏽
Belize is in central america
These are such wonderful people to meet. I really am considering living in Belize.
Hey Chris you should visit the Stann Creek district. It's the home of the beautiful Garifuna culture of Belize. They have interesting dances like Wanaragua/Jankunu, delicious food, and music like punta & paranda. The best places to experience the Garifuna culture would be Dangriga, Hopkins Village, & Placencia.
Chris great again
Enjoyable watch
Great video. Chris head out to Ladyville.
Big up Chris
It looks like you are in Barton Creek ( or lower Barton Creek). We are New Yorkers that lived on that road for five years. We stayed until my husband developed 4 th stage cancer. Spanish Lookout is north of Barton Creek. We had many friends there!
One of the key aspects is no electricity, so no outside bad influences.
Nice video 🙂👍
Cool chris
We missed each other by one day! I hope you enjoyed Spanish Lookout! :)
It was great, and completely different way of life than Belize City.
Yup totaly difrend...
Hey Chris I was born and raised in Spanish Lookout Belize. I currently live in London Ontario and if you want more information about Belize or the people and the differences in the religious people I'd be happy to chat about that
After going grocery shopping in Spanish Lookout back in 2018. I had the same question.
1 community that always takes care of customs and all social activities. Successfully educating generations of children in life and religion.
I remember going to corazol town in Belize where my mom is from and I seen them walking through and I was like wth.
Strong soul 💪🔥 period 🧠❤
I wish you had gone to see how the Mennonites in Spanish look out contributes to our economy here in Belize.especially the affordable houses they build .
I love living in Spanish Lookout
Wooow this is awesome the bible say my people perish for lack of Knowledge. Knowledge help us gain important information to continue to Love each other God is awesome Mr. Chris I am a Belizean you I learn what not even in school we were thought that .
Amen! He is a wise man to respond that God is the answer. GOD IS THE ANSWER!!!!
I would be interested in the book you purchased..can you direct me as to where I can obtain on?
I lived in Belize for 10 years 2 -3 years in bartin Creek. The rest of the time behind Spanishlook
someone should mix the auctioneer at 20.00 mins into a song. that guy had a groovy flow
This is pretty cool. My mom’s side of the family are Mennonite from Chechnya
My wife’s family is from Moravia, Chechnya and they fled to Germany with the Mennonites and also came to America through PA with the Moravians and settled my area of Winston-Salem NC.
The Mennonites community in Belize central america migrated from Russia through Germany then to Mexico and ended up in Belize long ago!!✌🏽🙏🌎🇧🇿
If forget to include Canada also before their stop in Mexico also
Some Amish will also allow you to record as long as no camera..had no idea Belize has such a large amount of communities/population...interesting..
I was just wondering, do they ever hold animal or livestock auctions in Belize. It will be fun to see one of those on your channel. Do Mennonites or Amish breed goats??
How does one know when they have an auction? Did you mention where this is?
Chris, I love the interview (the best so far, in my opinion), and the community is very uplifting to its peoples. It doesn't seems to include the Babylonian's systems in their life. I would love to live there. Bless up, brother!
The world need to know
you need to go to orange walk town witch we call Rambo town belize where the original tacos is born
I am no longer in Belize.
Richard a good friend of mine and very dang good welder
Chris isn’t just a “UA-camr” he definitely has some great journalism skills.. thank you learning A lot from your videos.
I been watching his videos in Haiti Also, which ones should I watch next?
My Ukraine series was great but really small numbers because UA-cam will not promote the videos. I also had a great adventure in South Africa.
@@ChrisMustList thanks Chris I’ll check those next.
All the way from hargeisa somaliland
Have you been to Djibouti or Eritrea? I've heard it's beautiful there! Northeast Africa.
I haven't yet, but I will.
Amen..
Come to San Ignacio
I grew up in Belize in the minonittes 3 years ago I left
Come to san ignacio
the amish don’t like to take their pictures. they are kind people, they are private people.
Yes I am very aware.
You have the progressive Mennonite which are located in Spanish look out and blue creek,the conservative Mennonite which are in ship yard little Belize and you have the Amish Mennonite like the ones from Barton creek and agua vida heading down on the southern high way of Belize
The Amish speak old dutch the ones in Spanish look out speak English and German and are from canada.its mostly because of the migration.ship yard Mennonite speak German and Spanish since they had migrated from Chihuahua Mexico
Nice that I found your channell. I am belizean. Currently living in London Ontario. And my wife is one of them. She was from pine Hill Mennonite community. I stole her 😏😏 and known we are happily married with 3 biutiful kids
Amazing! Thanks for watching.
Everyone here is so quick to say good things yet not a word about how these Amish & Mennonites are absolutely destroying the rain forests in these countries by clear cutting. What they are doing is absolutely devastating to that environment and downright disrespectful to the locals and these countries as a whole.
My videos are dairies of my day rather than a documentary about a whole moment like Amish and Mennonites.
Very good video Chris, better than those downtrodden communities. 😊
Do Amish and Mennonites read the Bible? What is a typical diet? What are the sources of power used for cooking and running a household since you actually are living "off-grid"?
Yes the read the bible, everything else I don't have answers to. This video was filmed a week ago.
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
They are easily the hardest working tribe in Belize, a lot can be learned from their work ethic. (But won't)
What I would love to know is,in Canada we own our houses but we don't own the land because we have to pay land taxes...does Mennonites pay land tax in Belize?
I'm living in Spanish Lookout Community . Yes, we pay taxes to the government, plus taxes for our community.
@@ikythiessen2140 Oh,WOW thanks,God Bless 🙏
The community pays the land tax to the government so we just need to pay the community for that plus a little extra for the community. Which enables us to have these awesome paved roads that most of Belize doesn't have.
@@charlieplett I only wish all Government take a page out of your Community procedures...the world would be a lot better...🙏
Pretty schnazzy glasses
Interesting. No mixing of the races.
Easy to tell the difference between the two Mennonites will be driving 😂😂😂😂😂
(hab an zee koffee, malic zu?)
Trust me
😂 my first cousins ,
