The Prisons of Panama

Cindy and I are in Panama City, and after three trips to the Justice Department, we were given permission to enter the prison system.

With almost 700 copies of From the Hidden by Theresa Garcia in hand, I was allowed to visit the 2 largest prisons in Panama, La Joya and La Joyita. Working with inmate/pastors each of the 20 cell blocks recieved copies. They were very well received and many people remembered us from years earlier.

My prayers of, "Here am I, send me" were fulfilled when I was allowed to preach in both prisons. I was thrilled to bring good news and humbled when they gave me an offering. The inmates of cell block #6 have asked for prayer, would you pray for them?
