In March 2009, Dr. Mark Redd, Pennie Langston and Earl Clepper went with Sam Craig and Sam Parker to the Panama Kuna Village of Diwarsikwa. This village is located in an isolated part of the Bayano River Region in Panama.

This is just one of the many mission trips Dr. Mark Redd has been on to the Kuna Indians in Panama. There are about 50-60 Kuna Villages along the San Blas Islands and about 10-15 Villages along the tributaries that feed the Lake Bayano and the Bayano River.

For more information, contact Dr. Redd at markredd@markredd.com.

Movie Ministry

We showed both movies, "The End of the Spear" and "The Passion of the Christ" in Diwarsikwa. There was an estimated 250 to 350 each night that watched the movies. This is late in the evening as we get ready to show the movies.One of the new features we tried on this trip was taking pictures and videos, rendering them and showing them that evening on the screen as a draw before we showed the "Feature Film." It was immensely popular with many people "posing" through the day hoping they we see themselves on screen that evening. And that isn't just for kids - even the Village Chiefs got in on the act.As you can see, many sat on timbers, while others stood and watched throughout the evening.
This is a photo taken at night during one of the movies. During the week about 15 Adults and 30-35 children responded to an invitation to follow Christ. One of the Chiefs stood in front of his Village and indicated that he too wanted to follow Christ. For his story, watch the video about the Kuna Indian Chief at the top of the blog.
