Monday Recap

On Monday morning we met with Pastors Teodoro and Ulysses to debrief and prioritize the needs in their region (Chiriqui). They asked John, Will and I how long we had been traveling around together doing this kind of work. When we told them we had just met, and only started to get to know each other a few days before they were very surprised. It made me think how far we have come as a team and how much we all loved working and getting to know the people of the western part of the country.

Their needs are so basic, like transportation and education, and yet they do so much with so little. It is humbling and embarrassing how strong their faith is compared to mine.

It is a good thing I came on this trip so I could experience this revival going on in God's people of Panama!

In the afternoon we took the 7-hour bus ride back to Panama City and checked in to a hotel on the grounds of the old U.S. military base. Here's a picture of my teammates John Miller (sitting) and Will Taton in front of the Allwood Inn.

hasta luego!
