COVID negative!!!

God has kept the door open to Panama

Hi everyone, thank you so much for your continued prayers. As I shared in a previous update, I became sick over the weekend. I was worried that it may have been COVID which would have closed the door to Panama.

I am so thankful that my PCR test result came back negative today!!! God has kept the door open to Panama. I’m doing the last bits of preparation for the trip and am so excited to witness what He will do in Panama.

I also wanted to share three prayer requests:

• For my friends on this trip to come to know the love and grace of Christ which overcomes all evil

• That God would renew in me a pure heart which yearns for Him alone

• If it would be His will, that God would protect my dad against cancer; my dad’s diagnostic MRI is scheduled for the week I return. Regardless of the outcome, I am praying that my family would not despair but trust and sincerely depend on God.

This will probably be my last update until I leave — I will update you after I return.

Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!
For he satisfies the longing soul,
    and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

Psalm 107:8-9
