Dear New Hope Family,
Warm friendly people, incredible ministry opportunities, delicious food, and sloths! These are just some of the memories that I brought home with me from Panama!

The many months of prayer and preparation as well as the long days of ministry on buses, metros, and by foot was worth every bit of effort.

Working alongside our International Mission Board missionaries and seeing their love for their city and its beautiful people was truly inspiring.

Every member of the mission team came back with a renewed vision for reaching the people of Cape Coral with the same powerful Gospel message that we shared in Panama!

In fact, that is what surprised us the most on this trip. We thought we were going on a mission trip to bless others and see God change their hearts. That did happen, many times over, but what God did in our hearts and the blessing we received has changed us forever.

Join us in worship this weekend to see and hear more about our experience in Panama, but be careful … the “Mission Bug” is contagious!

I’ll see you on the mission field,
~Pastor David
