Stepping into the next step
Well it’s September and and on top of trying to find the time to celebrate 3 years of marriage we’re also anxious about where God is taking us in life.
First things first. The DTS is going great. We have been blessed with a very mature group of young people who have come here to Panama with open hearts to experience God. It’s also been a blessing to grow closer to them and develop solid relationships . Please be in prayer as they continue to know God throughout the next months.
As many of you know we were working in the city with a group of photographers. Well they’ve moved on but they left plenty to follow up on. They were able to open many doors for future inner city work, especially in the areas of prostitution.
As was mentioned before we’re celebrating 3 years of marriage this month! Noah is growing up fast and we’re running out of space! Right now we’re blessed to be about to house and car sit for a family that works here at the YWAM base. Sadly Chris has only been able to enjoy the bed because of being in Costa Rica for a week with the DTS and then getting sick half way through the last week of teaching. Hopefully this will be a better week.
Many of you may be aware of our burden for cities. This is something we feel that God has called us to do and for the last three years we’ve been trying to figure of how, with success and failure. Recently we sat down with our leaders to share our hearts for starting ministry full time in Panama City. Over the past months we have felt God pushing us more and more to focus totally on the city. So we shared that with our leaders here and after discussing it we came to the conclusion that our next step should be living there. So in 2010 we move downtown! We’re not sure how this will work out because we need to up our support substantially in order to pay rent in the city. We also plan on buying a building that can act as a YWAM center. We have one in mind and are praying and asking God how he wants us to act on this.
We are planning a trip to the USA sometime in December so we’ll be able to visit and share more of God’s dreams that He’s given us for Panama City!
Blessings,
