Aug 8 Heading Home
Departing Panama: Around 7:30am on Sunday morning, our plane departs from Panama City to Atlanta (which means we must leave the hotel around 4:30am). Please keep our travels in your prayers.
Update on Samuel: Several days ago, we asked you to pray for an infant named Samuel and his mother, Anita. Samuel arrived at our clinic in serious condition, and we rushed him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with meningitis. This morning, Samuel passed away. The pastor of the church is purchasing a small casket for Samuel. We are sad at the loss of such a precious child, and we pray that God will comfort Anita in her loss.

Signing-Off:This is our last blog posting from Panama. We will post another blog early next week. It has been a fantastic trip for everyone, and a life-changing trip for several. Some young people have considered engaging in more extended mission experiences in the future. It has been my pleasure to update this blog throughout the week. Thank you for following our work and for praying for us. I’ll leave you with a few pictures of the Ngobe, a people loved by God, to remind us of the reason that we came. Blessings! Mike
