Many Kuna villages were affected, including the village\u00a0where we lived and served for many years. The believers report that 41 homes suffered damage and most of the villagers\u2019 gardens were washed away. This was the food for their daily life as well as cash crops for next year. \u00a0All the coffee plants were washed away, the corn, rice, fruit trees, and avocados.\u00a0 Much of the platano was lost (and this is the main staple of their diet). Many faithful Kuna brothers and sisters are faced with nearly a total loss. <!--more-->Rupentino &amp; Griselda lost their crops to the flood, including their coffee which was a cash crop to pay for their children\u2019s education.\u00a0 Belquis, a single mom with three children who is very active in the church and a Sunday school teacher, lost her garden on the river bank. The flood took <em>everything.<\/em> Her unsaved mother blames this on her teaching children in the church and not participating in the village\u2019s drunken ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p>Also wiped out by the flood was the\u00a0church\u2019s garden which was used to support their own missionary couple, Anelio &amp; Silverixia in the village upriver. Now there is nothing to share with them. The village where Anelio and family are serving is\u00a0much\u00a0worse off\u00a0because the roads are still impassible in their area,\u00a0even with horses. So supplies are very limited. Out of their meager supplies, the\u00a0church has brought food up to Anelio, Silverixia, and the believers there.<\/p>\n<p>A fund has been established to help\u00a0with the needs of these two Kuna villages.\u00a0Use the &#8220;contact&#8221; tab (above)\u00a0to receive information.\u00a0We appreciate your prayers for our Kuna friends that are suffering. Pray that the believers will see God\u2019s provision and continue trusting Him as their Jehovah-Jireh. Pray that the unbelievers will see the love and generosity of God\u2019s people and come to know Christ as their Savior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;a practical way for you\u00a0to help Recently Panama experienced some of the heaviest rains and flooding on record.
