A Quick Update

Romans 12:5 So it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we allbelong to each other.

What We’re Up To

So, we are still in total quarantine. They teased us a few weeks ago by replacing the quarantine with a curfew. It was so nice to get out of the house! It only lasted five days and then total quarantine was reinstated. Last week, a friend of mine passed away from the Coronavirus.  It is hard to believe how many people we know who have the virus.

Every Sunday, our Soul Seekers Panama team has a Zoom meeting.  We connect with each other to see how everyone is holding up. We report what we have heard from the brothers and sisters in Puerto Gavilana and Urgandi/Mamartupu. We are intentionally keeping in contact with them in the village and island, asking how they are, how we can pray for them, and keeping the discipleship going. Then, during our Sunday meeting, we share what God is doing. Pastor Josef and Pastor Arturo also share their challenges as their churches are still virtual. Pastor Roosevelt and I are working on recording videos in Kuna for our brother and sisters in the jungles and the islands. They are able to connect to the internet to see the videos we post for them!

A couple of weeks ago we were able to send help to Urgandi/Mamartupu so they could buy food. Soul Seekers Ministry has also been able to help families here around the city who we know are needing food during this time. We try to provide enough food for them to eat for two weeks. It is amazing to see these families helping other families and sharing their meals with others even though they don't know where or when they will get food.  We love to see the body of Christ working together.  But most of all, we want people to know Christ. Thank you to everyone who has helped financially to provide food for those in need. God is using you to bless and encourage families here in Panama.

Your help is appreciated! It will go towards these different needs:

• Food for families:(single moms, widows, death in their family): any amount would help: $25, $50, $100

• Pastor Josef and Ray ,who are part of our team, in their seminary/institution studies
