¡Canta!
Last night our friends Jerona and Mack invited us to a concert the were apart of. They work in the regional office with us doing everything under the sun. They are apart of the Primer Iglesia Bautista Kuna (Kuna Baptist Church) and this week a group from New Mexico came and did workshops on music to all of their churches and mission plants. At the end of the week they put on a worship concert in which they sang from their Kuna hymnal.
Alvis
Today was our friend Alvis’s confirmation. Alvis has been attending the church here in Balboa for about three years and today he became an official member of the Lutheran Church of Panama! Please pray for Alvis as he continues his walk with the Lord.
Domingo Video
Watch this video. It’s an interesting perspective on the way our world is tending towards. More importantly, it’s our call to action.

It’s my first post in a week and a half, having been in the Dominican Republic taking photos and gathering stories, as well as helping the missionaries with communication issues on the field.

Missions in Panama
Ministry here is hard, here is World Mission missionary Carissa Dreier, and IELPA pastor Martino (from Brazil) chilling at the beach and applying sunscreen. Yes I know it is freezing cold at home in Michigan, but it’s burning hot here! Have at it Domingo Foto fans.

Flores y Cruces
Apologies for the lateness of the Domingo Foto this week. We spent the entire day on Sunday in Sora, a village high in the mountains to the east, visiting the Lutheran church there. We left at 6 in the morning and didn’t return to the house until 4! I collapsed on the bed and woke [...]
