Pastor José Ángel Fernández’s little daughter has a problem in her feet and medical specialist recommended special shoes or a surgery. As she is a little girl, everyone considered much better to try with the shoes to correct the problem. These ones were proved as a support by this ministry center during this month. We ask your prayers for the Yasmi, may the Lord help her in her recovery.

Bible course “The Bible and Prayer”.
Three times in a month we met with a group of people from the Emberá and Kuna communities, to develop the Bible course “The Bible and Prayer” in the area of Las Nubes. Josel and Susenith attended faithfully every Thursday with a great desire to learn more about the Bible and to develop each of the lessons. Both state that previously were not going to any church, but now they attendBethelLutheran Mission each opportunity in which they are always invited. For them this course represents an opportunity to learn more about God and His teachings.
The work CPTLN and Bethel Lutheran Mission develop sharing the Word of God represents a light of hope in this place that needs an awakening in Christ.

“Managing emotions during the disasters”.
About 1,000 qualified students, educators, parents and citizens of the community of San Miguelito, especially from the community of Santa Librada. Volunteers Nelson Araúz and and Joel team developed the topic “Prepared for Emergencies”.
The booklet “Facing Catastrophes, managing emotions during natural disasters and catastrophes” was the main topic. For Elias Quintero (representative from SINAPROC – national entity dedicated to assist and guide about protection and disasters), it’s great to present counseling with Christian values and principles to people, especially when this prevents risk. The worst situation is the way in which people face and manage disasters. Also Christian counseling becomes a message of hope to keep going. This campaign will spread across the country. To God is the glory!

The Correct use of the Internet.
After a training session that lasted a month, the Department of Informatics at SinFronteras School, performed an evaluation event for students of the eighth and ninth levels. A seminar and an exam were held in a special classroom. CPTLN staff attended the event. Members of this ministry shared information about the negative and positive use of some tools that we find in Internet, this information was an addition to the guidance received; and words of salutation and motivation were given by the Director of LHM-Panama, Mr. Edilberto Méndez, who also presented a gift to the School Director. The guidance presented was based on the next printed booklet “Internet’s world”. Besides to this orientation, a toast, a training day, questions / answers session and especially the Biblical teaching were developed with students. It’s interesting to highlight that material from these CPTLN booklets are used to complements the academicals. CPTLN gave certificates to students who finished the Bible Course and the training on the use of puppets.
