In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Mathew 5:16

We leave the food outside when the family has Covid-19 to avoid contact.

What We’re Up To

Hello brothers and sisters! Please be in prayer for us here in Panama.  There are about 1000 new Covid-19 cases a day. The hospitals are full. We are still in quarantine and are only able to leave during our allotted two hours. Friday night to Monday morning is a total quarantine and everything is closed.  Personally, we (Perez/Clark Family) are doing well. Unfortunately, for the past couple of weeks family members, close friends and pastors that have become infected.  This week, a close friend went to be with the Lord.  Praise God he knew Jesus, our Savior!

Soul Seekers has been helping families with food.  But the reason we are here, is to share about the Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray for us to have wisdom while sharing the gospel.  I, Max, was able to get a permit to be out of the house without time restrictions Monday through Friday. Friday afternoon, Pastor Josef and I went to help a young family with food.  While we were talking to the dad, he mentioned that they did not have any food left.  He, his wife, and their three kids had not eaten anything all day!  I know there are many cases like this, but seeing it broke my heart.  I asked him about his relationship with the Lord.  He said he had a time of rebellion, but he now rejoices knowing the Lord, even when they don't have anything!  Wow!!!  I was able to see God's Spirit in Him clearly.  He was not just saying words.  Praise the Lord!

God's still creating new things! We were able to deliv

er food and encourage another family too. Because of all that is happening, they see a need to start a house church.    This young pastor was so excited about this new adventure with the Lord.  He kept sharing his excitement and is accepting the challenges involved with joy!  SSM is equally excited and looking forward to helping this new church. 

This is the new House Church Plant.

And finally, be in pray for the Kuna Yala Islands.  Two more island have been infected: Achutupu and Ukupseni. Last week one island had become so bad they were bringing patients to the city by helicopter.

Thank each one of you for your help and prayers. We are praying for our brothers and sisters around the world.  May we lift the light of Jesus Christ during these dark times: In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Mathew 5:16

Please pray for Pastor Roosevelt and Ines. (Some of you met them when they stayed with us a few years ago.) They have been hospitalized from Covid-19 complications.  They are recovering well and are both stable. They are not in ICU. The rest of their family is also positive but they are recovering at home. Thank you for your prayers, they mean a lot to us.
