Well, we made it safely back to Panama and now its time to get back to work. Suzy is going to be a teacher at the Doulos Christian Academy which is a Christian school run by YWAM Panama. She and another teacher will have about twenty Pre-Kindergarten children in their classroom. This is an awesome ministry opportuntiy since teaching the Gospel in schools is perfectly legal and acceptable in Panama! This school starts on the 15th of March and right now part of the school is under construction! We spent our first few days back in Panama gathering supplies for the classrooms and helping with construction. It is expected to be up and running by the 15th. Tomorrow, (the 13th) we will have an open house at the school so the parents and students can meet their teachers and see the classrooms. We are so excited about what God is doing with the school.
Also starting the 15th of March, we will be attending the school of Ethno-Arts (formerly called the school of Gospel Contextualization) which will help us to reach the Kuna and other indigenous people in a way that they can understand and relate to. Suzy teaches at the academy in the mornings and we will attend the Ethno Arts class in the afternoons. All this and plans for a visit to Pintupo (Suzy's village) will keep us pretty busy for a while!
We are so excited to be back home in Panama!! Stay tuned for more updates and photos as classes start at the Academy plus a look at the Ethno-Arts class and how it will enhance our ministry with the Kunas!!
