With just 40 days until we fly out, I wanted to post an update about getting prepared for this trip. We have had a couple of meetings to work on logistics, but also spending time in prayer. We have been praying for our team, our safety, but most importantly the people of Panama. We pray that God opens their hearts to hear His truth and seek His love. We have been trained on leading Bible studies and how to best interact with the people we meet. We have divided and packed our medicines. We will be trained more once we get there about some of the specific needs that we will see in the clinic. So please pray that the rest of the details and planning will go smoothly. Please pray that we are physically, emotionally, and spiritually prepared to fulfill God's calling in our lives through this opportunity. Please pray continually for the people of Panama that they will be receptive to us and their lives will be changed through God's grace and mercy. Thank you all for being a part of this trip with me through your support and prayer. God has been preparing my heart for this for quite a while and I can't wait to see it put into motion!
