“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3
Short Update…
This year little was done in in-person training or Church Planting Outreaches, but virtually, our Lord opened wide doors to equip leaders and churches.
It has not been until October that the ministry has gone to the field to reopen the Bible Institute and do in-person Church Planting Training and receive a team from abroad.
Together with on the field workers and with Leadership Development Ministries, the Lord has allowed holding 44 Trainings where 236 leaders were trained or equipped with tools to influence their different sectors of work with the Gospel.
From the different campaigns done, we can report that the MGPanama Team presented the Gospel to 709, from which 214 placed their faith in the Lord and 120 publicly were baptized. The follow-up is always a challenge, but the churches could follow up on 57 believers and continue to do so. Our prayer is that things will start to change for good this coming year, but if not, we will continue to do as the Lord opens doors.
On this occasion, we will like to share the Annual Report from some of the workers in the field.

P&B Schools - Bible Institute
Our hearts are filled with gratefulness for our Lord’s faithfulness with the Bible Institute in the mountains. We were able to reopen and the students are eager to keep on with their studies. With this reopening, the number of students went down to 21 due to several reasons, but mainly due to COVID.
Water Filters Project
This project is on pause at the moment. New filter cases were taken to Manchuila to have things ready when the opportunity arises to reopen this project.
Family:

5-Talsy was finally finished her two years of service, now she is waiting for her papers as a “registered nurse” and applying to be transferred closer to home.
