October Newsletter

IDENTITY RESTORED CONTINUED…We’re still trucking along with our documentary project. We have had several great interviews, all with indigenous people who have a heart to keep their God-given culture and “seguir adelante” or “go forward” in their professions and influence. We are in the process of gathering all the film clips, pasting them together, and seeing what we still lack.

We plan on the last week of October going to a rural mountain village where the Ngobe (pronounced Noe-bay) people live. This is the poorest, least reached, and most numerous indigenous people group of Panama. We have yet to work directly among them because of the distance from our home in the center of Panama.

A professional videographer is coming down with a nice video camera to capture more interviews, as well as scenery shots for the project. Please keep this trip in prayer.

LEISHMANIA….WHAT???

Yes it is Leishmania here on John Henry’s epidermis. Two months ago while on the trip to the Buglere people group (that I wrote about previously on our adventures blog) I got bitten by what is known as a sand fly, but more resembles a tiny mosquito. It carries with it a bacteria called Leishmaniasis (Lesh-man-AI-a-sis). I have posted pictures (I didn’t want to disturb the general public) and a little more of the story on my adventures blog.  Check it out, click on the sounds of the jungle adventures link on the right of this page.

YWAM CONFERENCE IN COSTA RICA On November 17th through 21st there will be a YWAM regional conference in San Jose, Costa Rica, being put on by Loren and Darlene Cunningham, the founders of Youth With A Mission. It’s a conference they try and do all over the world to bring many YWAM’ers back to the core principles and foundations that YWAM started out with. I’m sure it will be an exciting and refreshing time. Kristina has adventurously decided to accompany me on the 18-hour bus ride from Panama City to San Jose…with a toddler, and being 4 months pregnant! Please keep this trip in your prayers.
