History

The Mission

We are dedicated to the principle that Jesus Christ loves all men equally, He died and rose again that we might obtain salvation through faith in Him, confession, repentance, and baptism. We are concerned about the physical needs as they relate to the ability to provide an effective witness to these people.

The Vision

To spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to the Guaymi through teaching sound Biblical doctrine.

Panamá and the Comarca

Panama was industrialized by the building of the Panama Canal. This engineering accomplishment meant much for the trade in the region, but with trade and industry comes the establishment of new culture. This occurred in most western industrialized countries. The commercialization push some indigenous people deeper into the inland areas. The Panama government has many social programs for the indigenous people of Panama, which include medicine and education although access is limited. Many live on the Comarca (or Reservation) which has been established. Many of the men in these indigenous people must travel off the Comarca to work in support of their families and travel with the work as migrant workers.

The Indigenous People

The Guaymi are an un-reached people group numbering approximately 120,000. The majority live in the Ngöbe-Bugle comarca (reservation), but many work in the various areas of the provinces of Chriqui, Veraguas and Boca del Toro.
