Happy 4th of July from Panama

Hello....  and Happy 4th of July.  It's just another day for the people here, but we will try to make it special for the kids as we celebrate this special day for our country.  Have fun cooking out, going to the beach, watching fireworks or whatever you may be doing and remember to thank God for the freedoms we have as Americans.

We are still in Panama for 12 more days.  The time is quickly coming to a close.  We have sold all of our furniture and most of our household goods.  The apartment is getting very bare as we approach the time to leave.

Last week we had a special commissioning service for the church planters that we have trained and worked with during the past two years.  It was a time of worship and sharing testimonies of what God has done, is doing, and is going to do here in this country.  We are excited because these people are equipped and ready to serve God.  We know He will do great things through them!

On Saturday we have another team arriving from Eagle's Landing FBC.  We are excited about this group coming to Panama, and pray that God will use them in a great way.

I'm going to leave you today with a view of a Panama sunset.  I took it from the window of our apartment!  I hope you enjoy it!
