“God be merciful unto us, and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us;

That thy way may be known upon earth, thy salvation among all nations...” Psalm 67:1-2

Haggai - Aug. 22-25, 2019

This is the first National Seminar after too many years out of the picture.

It was challenging, but very fulfilling to be able to facilitate for high professional Christian group of leaders in Panama City.

In total there were 22 participants from every area of labour (education, lawyers, pastors, business administrators, engineers) but one thing in common, they all love Jesus and are open to be of influence in every area of their lives, using every talent and resources our Lord has placed in there hands.

“To see a nation redeemed and transformed by the power of the Gospel” and this by equipping and inspiring high level leaders, willing to impact and influence their circle of influence where ever they are.

The next National Seminar will take place in Chiriqui, and it will be our privilege to coordinate and host this Seminar. Our small team (they attended the Panama seminar) will be helping in the coordination together with a pastor from our area that also participated at the Seminar. The date will be January 23-26, 2020 and will take place at a hotel in Volcan Chiriqui.

Please join to pray for the following:

1-The 25 participants that are needed for January,

2-Sponsors willing to give scholarship,

3-Wisdom to coordinate accordingly,

4-Unity in the coordination team,

5-For God to be glorified in all this.

Trip to Raton - Aug. 12-16

God blessed with a team of 8 brothers and sisters from Costa Rica, they came from Guanacaste, CR, and most of them are surfers. Quite a change to come and spend four days in a cold weather, trusting in the Lord for what He had in store and my Lord! Did we had a good time with the kids.

Around 70 kids showed up, with whom, meals, games and teachings were shared. The Lord also gave us time to share with the ladies that came with their kids; at night the Jesus film was shown as well as the Joshua project (the first 12 chapters of Genesis).

We thank the Lord for Pastor Dany and his team to come and be a support to Pastor Simon and the work he is doing with the kids and adults.

For me was a blessing to see Melissa, (second child of Simon and Virginia) attend university, our kids grow so fast. Her dream is to become a nurse but at the moment she is studying to be a teacher and preparing herself for the admission tests she needs to present in order to enter the nursing school.

The church building presented some needed repairs with the walls, so the materials were provided and some metal sheets were changed according to the need.

We all stayed at the church, hanging hammock, inflated beds were every where during the night but early morning things were collected and the church was ready to receive the kids and for the night meeting.

Pastor Simon and the church are thankful for what God has brought to them. We thank you for your prayers and most of all, your partnership and friendship.

You may see a video done by the church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb5074_FDJY&feature=youtu.be

God bless you very much and hope to see you down here someday, as the Lord allows.

In Him and until He comes back again.

David and Talsy
