Marysville Baptist church team

Wecome back to the Maryville Baptist church team headed up by Steve Runyon. This time around the materials were there, and the roof on the multipurpose building took shape. The team endured the heat of Panama, and we all felt bad for those back in Missouri when we checked the weather reports!! What a climate change.

Main criteria for games? Something that this girl and the Kahuna (Dale's long time nickname) had a chance of winning. No more soccer and baseball for the

"youthful with a mission", so we had bocci ball, ping pong, hillbilly golf and corn hole. Yea, we rocked!!

Worship during vacation bible school. It was awesome, on the last day, a little boy stood up, and just sang his heart out, a song all his own!! The bible tells us that the Lord is there when we sing new songs!!

Games and Fun together

Team Nicaragua

Nicarguan Team in Panama

We had the pleasure of meeting people from YWAM Nicaragua in January, when they came to bless those around us. They did a vacation bible school for the kids, and sports ministry. They worked extremly hard building a gaming area on our base, where we invited the indigenous to come and hang out and play for the afternoon. They went into the villages and played baseball, and very honestly, were whipped by the indigenous. GO TEAM BOCAS!! We saw relationships developing as spending time together deepens our understanding and friendships with those we've come to serve.


The team also helped finish painting the circle room;the girls dorm area. It is now filled with interlocking circles that change colors when they intersect. This is a visual picture of how our lives touch others, and in the intersection, both lives are enriched with a new vibrant color!!
