PANAMA
With roughly 4% of the world’s trade passing through Panama every year, the country is blessed with one of the most advanced infrastructures in Latin America. In terms of wildlife, it is also the most diverse country in the region.
In recent years, the people have become increasingly interested in spiritual matters and more responsive to the Gospel as a result. Since 1970, evangelicals have grown from just 5% of the population to 20% in 2010. Still, much work remains to be done.
e3 Partners is working to ensure that a thriving local church exists in every community throughout Panama. We are equipping existing believers and training local pastors to identify unreached communities and share the Gospel effectively. As people come to faith in Christ, we are establishing small groups that help them take the next steps in their spiritual growth and serve as the seeds for new churches. – See more at: https://e3partners.org/panama/home/discover/#sthash.rVloeqhv.dpuf
Elissa Romines' e3 Partners Staff Support
When we consider people being homeless, we easily understand their need for 1) shelter and 2) for programs and services to help them get out of homelessness. What we often don't consider is that homelessness includes the loss of a support system.
Our work is focused on that third piece of the puzzle. We show up and want to support people for the long haul, no matter what that looks like. Sometimes it means working for two months to get someone into rehab because they slip through the cracks. Sometimes it means going to the doctor's office across the City with someone who is going blind.
In essence, we have a consistent presence in a small neighborhood in South Dallas, in hope that we will be invited to enter people's lives. Just like us, everyone's stories and needs are different. Sometimes the biggest need is physical; sometimes emotional; sometimes mental. Our end goal is that, as we work with different people who have different kinds of needs, we might all experience Jesus and his love in new ways.
