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.

Working With the Children

Some members of First Baptist Church Porter worked with the children each day teaching them Bible Lessons and telling them about Jesus. You could tell that they had a real heart for Jesus.

Kids will be kids - they were all waiting for the teachers to start!
During the afternoons, we would show movies to the Children inside the huts. We should a variety of Disney Movies, as well a bible cartoons.

With the extra wood from the church, the men constructed a swing for the kids and adults. The Kuna had never seen anything like it and had to be taught how to swing. Later that evening, some of the more adventurous Kuna Adults took their turn "flying" on the swing.

One of the team member from First Porter had a wonderful ministry. Susan had women and girls lined up to comb and braid their hair. It was an amazing act of servant hood. I was blessed as the love for these women showed as she used the gifts that God had given her to show love to these women.



It didn't take long to draw a crowd once class started!
