Greetings from Texas! Our team made it back to the USA on Monday afternoon without a hitch. Our 9 days in Panama were long, rewarding, challenging, fun, tiring, and full of ministry opportunities. All of us go back into the real world remembering what God did while we were there, and also asking the Lord to teach us more about what happened in our hearts in Panama. It is always good for us to look back a few weeks after a trip and still see the lessons that God is teaching us from our experiences there.
Thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement! Please continue to pray for Panama:
1) Continue to pray for Celso and Nina as they work together in a ministry that is effective but tough at times. Pray for encouragment and renewal as they seek the Lord.
2) The houses where we stayed during our trip are located right next to Cresta del Mar, and are a great resource for the ministry that happens there. Unfortunately, these houses are up for sale and Cresta del Mar is praying that they will be able to either purchase the houses through investors, that the sale would be put off, or that whoever purchases the property would be supportive of the ministry at Cresta del Mar. Please join us in praying these things for the camp!
3) Pray that the students and families that came through camp while we were there continue to seek the Lord and grow in their relationship with Him. The youth that attended camp during the week will have the opportunity to attend again with their families in January- please pray for receptive hearts and the leaders of the church as they prepare for this ministry!
