1st Panama trip 2011

 

  Thank you everyone so much for your prayers, our Panama trip was such a blessing. For those of you that didn’t know, we had to take a trip down to Panama(our neighboring country) this last week for our visas. The students arrive Monday, and in order to have their 3 month visas and our 3 month visas line up for the 4 month semester, we had to leave and re-enter the country right before their arrival. So this trip served with the two purposes of fulfilling our visa alignment needs and for an opportunity to scout out the land for our semester missionary trip(our semester missionary trip will be in May). God’s hand was definitely on us in this trip. We had no real connections in Panama, didn’t have the travel arrangements exactly in detail planned out, nor did we know exactly what to expect; but God took care of it completely. Every time we needed whatever, whether it was a taxi, bus ride, or directions to the hostel we needed to stay at(which we only knew the name of), God provided it every time. You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield(Psalm 115:11). God is so worthy to be trusted. He is always there to help us and will protect us through anything He calls us to. How can we, seeing the great cloud of witnesses He has shown, have any doubt in taking the steps of faith He calls us to take. God is so worthy, leap…jump in the things He commands for you in your life.
