The ETBU Cross Country and Track and Field teams departed Marshall early Friday morning for Belize as part of ETBU's Tiger Athletic Mission Experience (TAME), where they will be partnering with International Sports Federation (ISF) and THREE18 Ministries for ministry and service over the next week.  This is the 25th trip for the ETBU Athletic Department TAME initiative and the second for the Tiger Cross Country and Track and Field program, after they traveled to Greece in 2019.
 
The day one recap is provided by Lillian Stowe and Aiden McDonald. 
 
"Day one, we made it to Belize! Today was full of travel and a lot of quickly grabbed naps, but also a good deal of excitement and anticipation for what is to come. We stopped to eat after landing and grabbed some souvenirs on the way to where we're staying this week.  This trip is going to be a blast and God is going to do great things with this group while here," Stowe said. 
 
"After a very early start to the day, we finally made it to Belize.  Everybody has been welcoming and flexible to our large number of people in the group. Even though there was some slight anxiety to start the day, travel went smoothly and we all arrived safely.  I'm excited to see what God does this week as we do work in His name," added McDonald.
