Location: Bocas del Toro, Panama
Region: Central America & Caribbean

Well….my claim to fame is that I have nine kids and we backed packed through Central America with the youngest six of them over the course of three months. We have served in Panama since we made our way here in 2013 but in July of 2015, filled with trepidation and an unwavering trust in the God who called us into missions in 1993 hadn’t change and that he had proved himself faithful all these years – he would surely sustain us on this remote jungle island. We live off the grid and our water is collected rainwater and our power is by the sun…no roads or stores on our island and everything at least one boat ride away, often two boat rides away. We love rainy days because it cools us down but rejoice on the sunny days because we can take out the boat over to the beach.
Primarily, our role is to love God, love people and have fun while doing those things. The vehicle we use to disciple others from the nations is YWAM Ships and the Discipleship Training Schools. We host teams and work within the indigenous villages that surround us. One day….we will have ship here to help bring in medical and dental clinics, as well as use the vessel to teach sailing and navigation; but as we are pioneering this new work, we are happy to take one step at a time.
