Panama Building Trip 2007
Jehova Jireh and Monte de Sion Schools
April 28th through May 13th, 2007

Recently I had the pleasure of going on a missions trip to Panama with my parents' church, Portland Christian Center, for the fourth time. On this trip we were going to primarily work with Missionaries Rod & Sherry Boyd on the Jehova Jireh Good Shepherd School. That school is an existing school started by the Jehova Jireh church and it currently has about 300 or so students. The new project is a three story addition that will expand the school's capacity to around 600 students.

It ended up that we were able to spend three days also working on the Monte de Sion Buen Pastor school that we worked on originally in 2003, and that was a great blessing to us and hopefully to them as well. Both of these schools have an affiliation with an organization called Latin America Child Care that is a child sponsorship program that allows needy kids to attend these schools when matched up with sponsors who can help like you and I. It was a great trip and we got a lot done. I hope you enjoy the photos and the story. Thanks for reading.
