Ministry Focus
Veracruz, Panama is a community of around 28,000 people where over half the population is unemployed, and many families are led by single mothers struggling to provide. Access to basic needs like water is inconsistent, and education is frequently disrupted due to strikes and roadblocks, leaving children without stability or structure. It’s a
beautiful place with incredible people—but there is a deep need for support, opportunity, and hope.
How you can pray for us.
Relationships: Pray for the Lewis family as they build relationships with everyone they meet.
Language and Cultural Learning: Pray for wisdom and ease as they learn Spanish and adapt to the culture in Panama. Building strong relationships with the community will be crucial to building trust.
Impact and Guidance: Pray for clear guidance on how they can best serve and support families in Panama. For them to seek God’s direction in identifying the needs and opportunities to offer hope and help effectively.

Community Impact Event: September 18, 2025
On September 18, 2025, we are partnering with Valor Compartido to be part of a large-scale community event in Veracruz, Panama, designed to serve thousands of local residents. This gathering will unite families, leaders, and volunteers to meet real needs—especially in the area of medical care. We’re helping provide supplies, supporting local doctors and medical students, and even working to bring a small team from the U.S. to join us. This event is a key opportunity to build relationships, serve the community well, and open doors for long-term ministry impact.
