    Ethan and a group recently returned from a 10-day hiking trip to remote villages in Panama to conduct church services. They hiked over 30 miles of steep terrain and crossed a raging river on a zip line to reach the villages. The group taught discipleship classes, preached, and showed evangelistic videos. A nurse provided medical care. Thirteen people accepted Christ. The trip showed that Ngäbe Christians are now doing mission work among their own people. Plans are being made for another trip early next year. Recently, Children's Day and the anniversary of New Hope Baptist Church were celebrated, where three children accepted Christ.

    group consisted of Ethan, two Costa Rican missionaries, our E A
    intern, three Ngäbe ladies, and two Ngäbe pastors. Although
    rainy season made the jungle trails treacherous, they persevered
    up and down over 30 miles of steep mountain terrain. They
    even had to cross a raging river on a zip line “bridge.”
    There is no electricity in these remote villages and the solar
    system in Trinchera was damaged in a wind storm months ago.
    Thank you to those who contributed to replace those components! The funds also covered
    the expense of the food that helped feed us and the people who came for the preaching from Josh on
    surrounding villages. Youth from the churches carried over 600 pounds of food, supplies, br idge
    and gifts through the rain on the same precarious trail we hiked. Even with the extra load,
    they arrived well before us!
    In each village, we taught discipleship classes during the day and sound doctrine through
    preaching at night. Each service, the church had standing room only. We also showed
    evangelistic videos some nights. The day sessions were separated into classes for men, women,
    and children and were mostly taught in Ngäbere, the heart language of the people. People
    from three areas churches hiked for TWO DAYS just to attend these special meetings in
    Trinchera. Last year on the trip, Ethan had to try to explain fevers and such to people who
    came looking for medical help. Praise the Lord, this year nurse Elsa came and ran a small Tr inchera
    church
    clinic each day. It was a huge blessing for patients to be attended by someone with a real
    medical knowledge and who speaks Ngäbere.
    This was an amazing trip! It was wonderful to see national believers step up and do a lot
    of the teaching. To be honest, it was a bit discouraging to not be more involved. However, it
    was incredibly encouraging to realize that these Ngäbe brethren have matured to this point.
    Nurse
    Ngäbe Christians are doing mission work among their own people. This is the goal. Best of
    all, thirteen souls were saved! Another trip is being planned to Guayabal and Trinchera Elsa
    early next year during the dry season. Our team has exciting plans that we will discuss more
    in another newsletter. Please start praying now for the next trip!

    A few weeks ago, we celebrated Children’s Day here at our main church,
    Iglesia Bautista Nueva Esperanza (New Hope Baptist Church). Beth and Elena painted faces and
    Ethan led the boys’ team in memory verses and games. Over 100 children plus their parents
    enjoyed the activities, food, and most importantly, the preaching. Three kids accepted Christ
    as Savior! Ethan had the privilege to deal personally with two of them, Gabriel and Marco.
    The next Sunday was New Hope’s 4th anniversary. We are thankful for Pastor Taylor and his
    Gabr iel Marco
    family who came here as missionaries from Costa Rica to plant this precious church. Also recently,
    the church in Tugrí (Pastor Aquilino) celebrated their 2nd anniversary. Ethan stayed overnight at
    the church in a hammock to preach the two-day conference. What a blessing!
