MTI Gets Report Card From Panama!

Kim Kapsar, Youth With A Mission Base Director on Bastimentos Island, shares a good report about last summer's MTI work. (Photo of Kim on the right with Dave Johanson, MTI volunteer)

It was a wonderful help to our family to have Andrew Burnett and MTI serve with us in Panama. They were a group who showed up just when we needed them, and had the exact experience we needed to help. My husband had surgery coming up, and they helped us learn to drive the boat without him, and were a total blessing to our family. They built stairs into the equipment room so that my husband could get down after his hip was replaced, and just helped us in numerous ways.

In addition, the village near us never had a clean water supply. Andrew worked for several months figuring out the best method of providing the water. He also really listened to our input, and was very respectful of the way in which we have been led to serve this village. We wanted them to really "own" the water project, and have hands on experience helping install it. Andrew patiently helped them to do the work, and helped bring the love of Jesus into an area that really needs it. Thanks MTI, we hope you'll come back!!

God Bless,
