"Wow, what great time we had in Panama. We serve an awesome God. This was my 2nd time going to Panama ministering to the Guayami Indians. My wife, Rachel and I had blast working along side Tommy Rosalee, Tim and Karen Ketchie during this medical/ evangelistic mission trip. We also were blessed to meet other pastors who came from West Virginia, and a pastor from Kentucky. I’m sure these gentlemen will be leaving their own blog soon. Because this was such a great trip, we all were blessed just to be apart of it. One morning when all the Guayami ladies were in their service, 9 ladies got saved. Listening to the preaching from God's word. On Saturday we witnessed 24 Indians getting baptized down at the river, while 160 people were there watching. My wife, Rachel was able to give out over 100 reading glasses and about 35 pairs of prescription glasses. I had no idea she was an optometrist. She also was able to give out 20 purses filled with all kinds of little goodies for 20 different Indians ladies. For some of you that don’t know, God has called Rachel and me to be full time missionaries, to go and serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please be in prayer for us, to where will be serving Him. Thanks to everyone who supported us and also the ones who helped watch our kids while we were gone. I've got another chance to go back to Panama April 28th with my son Josh ( who is 15 years old) and help Bro. Mike Lewis and 6 other men to build a church much, much further up the mountains for the Guayami Indians. Please pray for us we will be camping up there for 5 days until the church is built. Thanks again, May God Bless you as He has blessed me." Thomas Holden
