Looking Back with Gratitude & Living Expectantly For What is to Come.

A NOTE FROM JOHN & LISA

Kabod International was birthed 5 years ago after plowing the ground in Belize for 14 years. With a vision to see individuals and families healed and whole, to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves, and partner with heaven to see a nation step into her fullness “A Fathered Nation”.

Today our family and leadership programs have grown to impact people in every district of Belize and leaders from 23 nations.

This month we are launching our Family Media initiative airing A Miracle Every Day, (a daily devotional) and a weekly pod cast “The Man Show” on the most listen to radio station in Belize strengthening men, women and family, bringing hope into every home.

We look back in awe of all He has done. As we Look forward with great expectancy of what is to come!

We would have never reached the milestones you see in these pages without your partnership & generosity! Thank you for your impact on the families and nation of Belize!

JOHN & LISA GOTZ Founders and Directors

OUR VISION:

to see Belize step into her destiny as A Fathered Nation

Belize is a developing nation in Central America.

Family Structure is fragile, with 75% of homes being Fatherless.

Fatherlessness has left a generation wounded, abandoned, and hopeless.

Every generation of the family is affected by this trauma. Many individuals struggle to establish healthy families as they try to process their childhood trauma, which continues this broken cycle.

We are committed to seeing Belize step into her identity as "A Fathered Nation," creating a hopeful future for generations.

OUR MISSION:

TO RESTORE, STRENGTHEN, AND EQUIP FAMILY. Our Family Programs focus on 3 pillars:

Hope & Healing: bringing restoration to broken individuals

Equipping Family: strengthening every generation with the tools they need to thrive.

Train & Deploy Leaders: Raising up leaders to continue to bring transformation throughout the nation!

Our pillars are set on a foundation of PRAYER & INTERCESSION. All of our programs and people are launched from our FAMILY LEADERSHIP TRAINING CENTER!

“The fruit of your beautiful obedience, to create spaces for people to encounter God, is abundant and a sweet fragrance before the King.”

Crystal Trek Team Leader

A STORY OF hope & HEALING We had an amazing team of women come to help minister to women and children. Their leader asked our team to minister to them, teaching them how to hear the Voice of God, encounter His sweet presence, and to walk them through some deep wounds.

God met them right were they were at! These beautiful women left HEALED & WHOLE of various traumas from abandonment, verbal & sexual abuse, PTSD, and more. We saw trauma healed and hearts restored.

One young lady was brought BACK to LIFE right before our eyes! From insecurity and depression to boldness and joy as the Lord brought truth to the lies spoken over her. All her life her grandmother would constantly ridicule her, telling her she was ugly, and that she didn’t love her. We were able to walk her through forgiveness.

After arriving home she shared a testimony of even more healing.

Her grandmother was sick in the hospital and she was able to go and pray for her…

"Before I left, I placed my hands on her head and heart. I felt darkness and loneliness.

I prayed for her, and I felt that darkness leaving her body” I continued to pray for her healing and health. I saw her shaking and feeling the Holy Spirit inside of her.

I almost started to laugh with joy.

"I feel healed! She asked me to forgive her for all the mean things she said!

She wouldn't stop calling me beautiful and telling me she loves me."

HEALING Our heart at Kabod is to see sons & daughters transformed by the love of Jesus! We want to see every generation of family healed and whole by the power of His love.

Our family programs create an environment where physical, emotional, and spiritual healing happen and where hope to begins to flourish in the hearts of individuals.

Our House of Hope and Healing, or H3 is a safe place for victims of human trafficking to come and be restored.

“The safe house is more than just a safe house. In reality, it’s an act of mercy and kindness for abused young women. And hopefully it will keep taking people in and will grow larger and larger as time goes on, and will act like a revolving door where people are taken care of and made whole to go off into the world and live a normal life”.

Liz's Story

A FUTURE FOR FATHERS The success of our Band of Brothers conferences has been incredible. Since launching Band of Brothers Belize in 2018 we have seen tremendous growth and expansion! We have developed 2 leadership teams in southern and central Belize! Our most recent event opened the door to the Northern Districts!

LEADERSHIP & SUSTAINABILITY At our most recent conference we saw lives restored at the altar call, where 24 men came forward. The crowd was full of men from many walks of life.

There were crypts, bloods, Rasta guys, soldiers, church folk, etc.

What a beautiful picture!

From all the testimonies, 4 Business men and a community asked us help develop a Band of Brothers leadership team in the North, creating a new program that will take troubled men and teach them how to be better men and better fathers through leadership & farming, creating a sustainable future for Kabod and for the Fathers of Belize.

STEVE & LORRAINE BOX

IMPACTING FAMILY IN 2023 “We saw some great opportunities unfold for increasing the scope of Kabod’s influence on Belize -

The [television and] radio program where the gospel and God’s love can be shared by Kabod to hundreds of thousands of listeners, the opportunity and invitation to work alongside the governmental leaders to bring about healthy and stable families and erasing some of the extreme poverty by helping with farming techniques, the protection of victims of human trafficking and continued favor by the military to allow John to minister and counsel in the name of Jesus Christ to so many men.

Doors were opened…

We will see God’s favor on this country”.
