Did you know Panama is divided into North & South America? This is the Bridge of the Americas; when you cross it from our side, you are in North America, our side is South America! We now have our driver's license for Panama & our residency; we also receive a senior citizen's discount, on food, lodging, etc; sometimes up to 50% off some things, plus free entrance into Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal!

 
 
 
This last team was from Missouri; we worked in Portobelo, Portolindo & Cacique for 4 days & being right on the beach, it was very hot & humid, plus we fought the mosquitoes & they won, with me anyway. The beauty of the place was marred by the poverty & violence; it was a sad place to work in. We did door-to-door evangelism, open-air preaching & showed movies on Sat & Sun nite.

 
 
 
 
We made a trip to the Darien Province, west side of Panama, to see what connections we could make; what churches were there; potential places for teams. Travel time was about 4 days.

 
 
 
 
This is a recent trip into the mountains & rivers of Bocas, the northwestern part of Panama. We visited several villages along the Changuinola River to determine if there was any evangelical presence there. In the village of Guayaba, there were no churches, with the exception of a cult called 'La Luz del Mundo' (The Light of the World). This church believes the True Apostle lives in Mexico City & the people of the village earn money to give to the True Apostle. Please pray as we try to establish a Baptist work there.
