church planting in Panama

Dear praying friends,

Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I have
recently returned from a trip to Panama where many prayer requests were answered. I
procured a van for our family and found a rental house that works for the needs of our
family. We are very excited about all God has done and all He is going to do in us and
through us in Panama.
The Lord has opened some amazing doors for us that no man could have opened.
These are the stories that we have shared with you in our newsletters. Having said that,
there are still some great needs that I want to share with all of you.
This ministry is indeed unique and has great potential, but it also requires a more complete setup
phase. It is with this setup phase that we need your help. Since our ministry centers around starting churches
in unreached places, one of the first things needed is to get our airplane to Panama in order to make these
places more accessible. To do that, there needs to be a hanger in which to store and maintain the airplane.
Below is a list of needs that are essential to this ministry. Through the generosity of God's people and
good stewardship, some needs have already been completely supplied. We would ask that you would
prayerfully read and consider how the Lord would have you to further partner with us in this endeavor.
