Prayer Walking

Over the past several weeks, I have been prayer walking the city of Panama. I have completed about 15% of the city. Through this time, with God, lifting up the areas that I have been walking through, He has shown me so much. In the city there is very little, if any at all, Evangelical presence. There are 100s of thousands of people that are in need of the truth of the Gospel. Please be in prayer with me as God reveals how the UP Team (Urban Panama Team) is to reach so many people in a very short period of time (2 years).
The door is starting to open. We are talking with three different couples about having Bible studies in their homes. Please pray that they will be receptive and bold.

Greetings from Panama City, Panama

We have now been in Panama for well over a month. We are adjusting to the HEAT and TRAFFIC which are both unlike anything we have ever experienced. We are now settled into our home, and are excited about what God has ahead for us here in Panama. We have been busy meeting people and learning about the City of Panama. As we prayer walk the city streets, we are observing the lack of evangelical churches in this city of over a million people. It is evident that these people need Jesus. Please join us in praying for the city. Pray that we will find people of peace as we seek to transform the city for Jesus Christ.

The kids have all been accepted into Crossroads Christian Academy and will be starting there in August. They are anxious to become involved and start making friends here.
