Life in an Embera Village in Panama

Check out MTV "Exiled" where 18 year old Cher spends one week in the Embera Village of San Juan. This is a village that MTI trekers have visited in the past. In fact this episode was filmed the same year we visited so many of the villagers are familiar. Here's the link:

EXILED with Cher



BTW - the young girls who help Cher through the process were students that live in the Home that Alex and Jennifer Cabezon started. That's why their english is so good.

Panama Trek 2011!! - July 16th - 31st

Excellent News!! Linda and Richard Liebert have agreed to lead a group next summer to Panama. The Lieberts are two year veterans of Panama Treks and avid world travelers. They will be working one week with the Cabezons on the One Story Project (probably visiting the Darien Jungle) and another week in a different part of the country. More news to come about this exciting trip. For more information contact Andrew Burnett, andrew@goodimpressions.us

A visit from the Cabezons

We recently had the privilage to host Alex and Jennifer Cabezon and (Abigail and Carolyn) at our home while they are visiting friends and family in Oregon. Alex and Jennifer live in Chilibre, Panama and are full-time missionaries with Youth With a Mission. During their week here they had many opportunities to share with both english and spanish speaking audiences. The Cabezons are uniquely gifted to minister to the indigenous of Panama. Pray for them as they continue their home stay for the next few weeks. If you would like to know more about Alex and Jennifer, check out their blog by clicking on their name. Alex and Jennifer are MTI's main contact for ministry trips to Panama. Those of you who have seen our ministry videos will see them as familiar faces.

One of the topics of conversation was planning for another MTI trip to Panama in the summer of 2011. Please keep this in your prayers. We need someone to lead this trip as I will not be able to be gone that long from our family business. Hopefully, our business situation will improve soon and I will again be able to travel. In the mean-time several different individuals are considering going and/or leading the next trip.

Excellent Report from Panama Trek 2010

Check out the videos from our recent Panama Trek 2010. Our group joined with the School Of Missions at the YWAM Base in Chilibre and went to several villages. Team members shared Christ in nearly a dozen school classrooms and several churches, shared in the daily lives of the indigenous peoples of Panama and helped the ongoing ministry of many Youth With A Mission missionaries (especially Alex and Jennifer Cabezon and Dale and Kimberly Kapsar). We topped off the trip with a day of sight seeing in Colon, Portabello and Isle Grande.

We started the trip by visiting a nearby Embera Indigenous Village near the Caribbean Coast:



Then it was on to two more Wounaan villages on the Pacific Coast - a 45 mile trip by boat:



We spent the second week in Bocas Del Toro working with Dale and Kim Kapsar:
