Outreach

This week I found out that I am going to the Bocas del Torro Archipelago in Panama to do my outreach at the end of June!

I will be camping on the islands for 2 months and trekking into the jungle to reach remote villages and the indigenous people that live there. We will be conducting research for YWAM ships who eventually want to set up a base there. This means we will be seeing what is there, what the needs of the villages are and how we can meet those needs, and also sharing the message of our faith on the way.  So basically we are pioneering for future missions organisations. Apparently it will be very remote as although there is a bit of tourism on some parts of the islands, the villages in the centre of the jungles are virtually untouched and we may be among some of the only white people they have ever seen. Our team is very small just four of us, three students and one leader which will make this very challenging but all the more rewarding. I am very excited for whats ahead and how God will use us in this amazing place.
