  • 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.

    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.

    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.

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 🙌

    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.

      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.

    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.
