Since the last time I wrote you guys lots has happend! We have the whole team of Hope Christian Aacdemy here and we are in full swing of ministry activities! Yesterday was our first day of getting our feet wet into ministry. After a good orientation and practice we went to the Community of El Cortezo and did a lot of visits home to home to share with the people from this community and at the same time invite them to our program that we will performing at the church sometime later. On my team we were able to pray and visit with this 85 year old grandma call Ignasia, she was the sweetest grandma you can imagine and she felt so bless to have us over for visiting & praying specially when she was feeling very alone and was glad to catch this "gringos" and panamenian for a visit! :) Later that same night we had an evangelistic presentation at the church and we were able present people the good news of Jesus! Today we went to a tiny little school call "El Higo de San Juan" it is a rural multigrade school (1st-6th grade) with only ONE teacher {which she also is the principal} for all twenty five students . This woman name Orquidea {orchid in english} is a super hero for me, she loves Jesus so much and the calling God has give her to be in this school for the last 8 years, it also helps that her name is my favorite flower :) In this school we did a fun variety of things today like: a children program, crafts, dig a latrine, plant new flowers in pots, help cook lunch for the students and ourselves, cut the grass with awesome machetes and paint new designs in the school walls! I was SO AMAZE by how much we will able to do in this school in such short amount of time! Later today we also headed to a new community call "Churube" and we also did a lot of visits home to home visits and a evangelistic presentation late that evening! It was fun and we can't wait for what tomorrow brings which includes a tour to a Sugar Cane Factory {sugar, sugar and mas sugar} Much love to all of you! Cristal {Luke+Asher} prayer are appreciated!

We arrived in Panama Friday afternoon! Asher did great in both flights and he LOVE it the airport, specially riding in the "choo, choo" also known as train.
We have been here for almost 2 days and we are almost ready to receive our first team tomorrow: Hope Christian Academy. It is always fun to receive this team, specially because Luke went to this same school. I will keep you guys posted! Much love and warm for all of you from Panama Cristal {plus, Luke & Asher) P.S. We will send an update sometime this week! |
