Jesus Speaks Embera!!
My friend Tulio is involved in a new project to show the Jesus Film with the new Embera tranlation. Tulio is a Embera speaker so this new project is very close to his heart. Check out the Youtube.com video. Mission Trek will also be using this film when we visit Panama in December of this year.

Date for Panama Trek 2012 Set
November 23 - December 9, 2012 are the dates for this years Trek to Panama. While several of our regular Trekkers are considering this trip, I am happy to announce that Alan W., one of MTI's Board Members, is planning to come. Alan is a linguist and is familiar with the local Embera language used by the people we will be working with. I am also looking forward to working with the Tulio Rosales family this year. Tulio and Norelia are Embera Panamians who have been on staff with Youth With A Mission for several years now. It has been my privilege to work with them in past Panama Treks.
The Embera People are one of nine Indigenous Indian Groups that live in the country of Panama. They have rich traditions and cultural ways. Here is a link to a video of some of the song and dance of the Embera people. It features Tulio and some of the women from his village Errebache.

PLANNING FOR PANAMA TREK 2012
It is looking like the Panama Trek this year will be in the fall, either early November or early December. Our Trek so far has never taken us to the Darien Jungle. I would like to go there this year. Hopefully with my friend, Tulio, as our guide. The Darien is located on the extreme eastern end of the Republic of Panama. The last 30-50 miles of jungle before Colombia has few roads and travel is mostly by river canoe. I am currently in a conversation with my contacts in Panama about the trip.
