Ministry to Children

This story began with babies in Belize.

     The old hospital

Ten years ago while attending a friend's wedding in San Pedro, Belize, C.A., Bob fell in love with the people and the small town. He asked Dr. Lerida Rodriquez, one of the two doctors on the island of Ambergris Caye, how he could help.

"We need an incubator," she replied, "Too many newborns die because we cannot reach the mainland in time."

"I think I can handle that," promised Kurtz.
 

The new hospital area for infants

Within a week a new incubator arrived by boat and was installed in the San Pedro Health Clinic. "It was easy," said Kurtz, "I simply went to our local hospital and they donated the incubator and a friend (Barry McGriff of McGriff Industries) who owned a trucking company sent it to Miami where another friend who was shipping golf cart to the island brought the needed infant item to the clinic.

Bob Kurtz the became a prime mover in the planning and construction of a much needed hospital in San Pedro. It was a life changing experience.

Now, MINISTRY TO CHILDREN has been formed. Many important ministries and organization are supported. Hurting and abused children in America, an orphanage in Kenya, and fresh water for the mountain children of Bolivia are a few of the worthy and important causes supported by MTC.
