Well, we have made it to the outreach phase of our DTS.  We would like to apologize for the two month delay in updating our site, the internet here is not very reliable and we could not get a long enough connection to upload anything.  But it is working well tonight so here we go!  So far we have been able to travel to various locations/provinces of Panama, and have had the awesome opportunity to do some prayer walks and intercession in the city, as well as take part in a multi-cultural church service in the mountains of Chiriqui province.  We even had a moble classroom where we learned about spiritual warfare in a remote Embera village.  Our teachings have taken us on a journey of hearing the voice of God, to Spiritual Warfare to techniques for reaching the lost. 

We were also blessed to have mom Maria come with us to the YWAM base in Chilibre for a week to hang out with us and Marisol.  It was a great time since she had not been out of the village for a very long time.  Everyone got to learn a little of the Kuna language as well.  We even took her to the supermarket to buy some supplies to take back to the village with her.  It was fun watching pick out what was most needed by herself, all the while looking around at all the sights.  It was a blessing to let her have a week to bond with her grandbaby Marisol, and we were incredibly blessed to have her with us as well.  What a great week!!

Now that the outreach phase has begun, we will be doing ministry all over the country.  It has been decided that the entire outreach phase (two months) will be in Panama (except for a week in Costa Rica so we can renew our visas).  First, we will spend two weeks in Panama City, then a week in Bocas Del Toro before heading up to Costa Rica.  Then we will work our way back through Panama stopping in each province including Colon, Kuna Yala, and Darien.  We will also be spending four days in Pintupo, Mom’s village!  Very exciting!  We will be using various methods to reach the people depending on the area we are in.  These will include dramas, one on one ministry, work projects, prayer, mercy, etc. 

We will try to keep the site updated as often as we can and hopefully add more pictures as well, so keep checking back.
