House of Prayer Belize
Our Story
House of Prayer is the oldest original Mayan Church in Southern Belize. Our church is headquartered in Punta Gorda Town and is lead by Senior Pastor John Shol. The primary goal of the House of Prayer is to be a conduit of God’s love and salvation to the communities they serve. The role of the church is to be the moral compass of the community and set the standard for what Christian living should look like. Aside from the expected services of a church like weddings and baptisms, the House of Prayer churches also serve their communities by looking after the elderly and shut-ins and providing counseling services to people in times of crisis.
The Earliest Days
This picture was taken in the early 1970's of John Shol and Jimmy Littleton. They were trekking through the jungles of San Benito Poite to reach the remotest villages to spread the word of hope and salvation. They remain dedicated friends even today.
