The Virginia Baptist partnership with the Panama Baptist Convention begins in 2011!
The Panama Baptist Convention is embarking with special emphasis on evangelism, unity, and leadership. Under these themes they will suggest projects that may include medical missions, outreach, construction and leadership training.
Representatives from Virginia will travel to Panama on January 25 to attend the Panama Baptist Convention. Dr. John Upton is scheduled to speak at the Convention.
I am humbled and honored to be part of the team from Virginia going on this trip. Our goal is to listen to what God is doing through our brothers and sisters in Panama and to exchange ideas for partnership projects. After the Convention, Virginia Baptists will travel in small groups with their Panama hosts to view, discuss, and consider possible missions opportunities in the different regions of Panama. Requests will be documented and sent to the Panama Baptist Convention for evaluation and prioritization. We are also there to build relationships, both at the Convention and in the different areas of the country.
One team has just returned from Panama where they conducted Vacation Bible School for approximately 150 young people. Impact! Panama will provide a weeklong mission opportunity for Virginians in the summer.
We will leave on January 25th and land in Panama City. The Convention is about 2 hours away from the city. We will return from Panama City to Dulles on Wednesday, Feb. 2nd (Groundhog Day in the U.S.).
It is my goal to update this blog as often as I am able. Please feel free to tell others about the blog, and offer any comments you would like to on the blog.
blessings on you,
hasta la vista,
Panama Bob
