Another Door Opens for Service!

Dear Friends and Family,

If your heart is touched by children, we know you'll be excited about a new aspect of our work we wrote about this month.

Cheers!
David & Lisa

So Many to Thank!

Matthew is home from Afghanistan, and so many of you have a heart for the work in Panama! God is good. Read all about it in the May newsletter.

Cheers!

University Students & a New Church Share a Great Week!

Students from the Univ. of Tenn (Chattanooga) and Mississippi State Univ. spend a hard-working week helping the church in El Valle de Anton serve their community. Then they head up-river to spend a night and a couple of days working in a village of the Embera people.

We're all exhausted, but we had a great time, and did a lot of good, too.

Read all about it in the April newsletter.

Cheers!
David

P.S. There really is a contest in the Feb issue!

Christmas is Delayed

You probably expected to be seeing our report about our participation with Larry Brady's Operation Christmas Joy 2011 this month, but Panama has had 315% more rain than normal this year, resulting in unprecedented flooding. This flooding has put the delivery of Christmas gifts off while we help take care of people who have lost everything!

Help if you can!

David

Looking Forward to a Busy 2011

Greetings All,

Six groups coming down in 2011! New church in El Valle going strong! Read all about it in Dec. 2010 report.

As hard as I work on these newsletters, you'd think that I'd never forget to actually upload them to the blog. But when I arrived here to upload December, I realized that I never did post October or November! My apologies.

Most of our supporters get these newsletters by direct email. If you would prefer to be on that mailing list - rather than downloading from this site - please let us know. You can email Lisa (the keeper of the list) at LLCHBS@yahoo.com, or call 407-429-0287 and leave a message.

Cheers!
David
