We made it to Panama! My new team and I are living on an island in Bocas. We are staying at a YWAM base. Our ministry is cooking and cleaning for the base and all the teams living here. At first I was not very happy, I wanted to be out doing evangelism and kids ministry but the Lord has been working on me. 

   I was on a boat going from one island to the next and I was complaining to God. He just gave me this image that at any moment He could open up the sky and reveal Himself to the world. Instead, He continues to work in all areas of our lives and in everyone’s life whether we acknowledge it’s God working or not. Whether we recognize or remember that He’s there; it’s Him.  Sometimes He does make Himself known to people in big ways but a lot of His work He chooses to do behind the scenes. If God can work behind the scenes then so can I. 

  The few times we’ve been able to go into town to the main island, we have had the opportunity to do evangelism and pray with people.

    My team and I wanted to do more during the time in between cooking meals; we decided to pray for Muslims all over the world during Ramadan (which is a Muslim holiday). After lunch every day we get together and we pray for a different country. Prayer is something that also goes unnoticed but is so powerful and needs to happen. Whether you are praying to just have a conversation with God or praying against the enemy in Jesus name. Praying for someone or confessing something to The Lord or just sitting with him. Prayer is beautiful and needs to happen more. 

   Make time today and pray! I’m not gonna tell you what to pray about; just ask God.
