City highlight- Las Acacias

The church planters that are working in this area are Wika, Yadi, and Nague. All three are very excited to see what God has in store for Las Acacias. This area is in the beginning stages of starting a house church. They are currently looking for people who are interested in learning more about the Bible. The area they are focusing on is an area of Panama City called Las Acacias. This area of the city has about 10,000 people.  Our church planters are focusing on a smaller area in Las Acacias that has about 700 people.

Prayer requests:

-       That a person of peace will be willing to work with our church planters.

-       Wisdom for Wika, Yadi, and Nague as they follow what God has for them in this area.

Wrap Up from Kenneth

This week in Panama has been an opportunity for all of us to witness the awesome power of the Lord Jesus Christ.  We have not only been witness to his bountiful benevolence and incomprehensible provision, but also His infinite wisdom and grace.  Over and over, God allowed our team to be His hands and His feet, loving on His precious children in Panama and carrying out the message of His great love in and around beautiful Panama City.  The Louderbacks strive daily to carry out the important calling they received in relation to their missionary efforts in Panama City.  What a joy and a privilege it has been to work beside them in this field of opportunity – this field made white and ready for harvest.  God’s magnificence can be found in the simplest of circumstances – the most basic acts of Christian charity.  We  - as a team – carry away the blessings of God’s executed plans.  We – as a team – come way with ignited passion, ready to make a difference in our own community.

“We serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today.  We know that He is living whatever men may say.  We’ve seen His hand of mercy, we’ve heard His voice of cheer.  And every time that we needed Him, He was always near.  Rejoice, rejoice dear Christian, lift up your voice and sing eternal Hallelujahs to Jesus Christ the King.  The hope of all who seek him, the help of all who find, no other is so loving, so good and kind.”

Although our mission trip is ending, all things are eternal with our Heavenly Father.  May God, in His usual fashion take our feeble efforts and transform them into Heavenly deeds with eternal significance.
