in the Darien went very well! Thank you so much for all your prayers they were very much felt. I have written a special report that you can click on and read here on the blog site for those wanting to read in more detail about our trip.
After over 12 hours of rough travel, we arrived at the village. We felt literally, like we were at the end of civilization. We really were, at least for about a few hundred miles until some towns in Colombia.
During our trip we recorded 4 songs in the Wounaan language and traditional style. The church is also very excited about writing more songs and using their dances and other traditions to praise Hewandam, their Creator. Who, according to Wounaan tradition, sent His Son to create the world and mankind. Talk about a key to the culture huh? We tentatively plan on returning in the fall to do some more recording and even filming.
VISIT TO ALASKA: After much prayer and consideration, we are taking an unexpected trip to Alaska. We will be arriving May 20th and coming back to Panama on the 4th of July. Some of our reasons for coming back are to connect with supporters and the ever-changing and growing congregation of our home church. Kristina is also looking forward to helping her mom in our fundraiser garage sale that they are putting on. If you are in Alaska and would like to get together with us while we are back, please write us a soon as possible so that we can meet with as many of you as possible. We are also very excited for many of you to get to know Natalie for the first time.
PRAYER REQUESTS: We so very much appreciate those of you who are so faithful to pray for our family and our ministry. It is the backbone of everything that we do.
Please pray for :
• The Wounaan church; that leaders would rise up from among them to ignite their passion to evangelize the lost.
• For all the YWAM Panama ministries that will be experiencing one of their busiest times of the year, while we are in Alaska.
• For all the preparations that need to be made before we leave.
• Our family as we travel with a rambunctious toddler.
May God Bless you all as you serve Him this month,
In Christ,
John and Kristina Henry
