This post is more or less an excerpt from out team meeting about what we’ll be doing during the majority of our time in the field. Hopefully this will give you a better understanding of the work I’ll be doing in Central America.
Oh, and the reason it’s titled “tentative” is because nothing is ever certain with these sort of things. If you’ve been involved in missions before then I’m sure you can relate.
(Note: Paul & Susi Childers are the PhotogenX leaders. Susi is a photographer from Germany and Paul is a speaker/leader from New Zealand. It’s an… interesting pairing, haha.)
The main purpose for going to Panama:
- to release Voice For the Voiceless (V4V) in the Spanish speaking world
- to establish a PhotogenX Center in Central America
- to come alongside with ministries in Panama and help them with these issues:
- US Embassy
- Ministries with orphans
- Indigenous tribes: help them develop communication tools to reach other tribes
- Help indigenous tribes in Panama
