Inaugural service at Iglesia 24/Siete 🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️💙🇵🇦
Today was the answer to a longtime prayer, and you could feel the presence of the Lord. The opening day was a true celebration for the entire community with food, baked goods, raffle prizes and a guest speaker.
Thank you Church of Eleven22 for your support and prayers. The community was radiating pure joy and excitement as they celebrated with hope and love. God is so good! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
, /siete,

September in Panama is Bible month. How awesome is that- a whole month celebrating God’s word! 🙏🏼🙌🏼

Our girls participated in the 24 hour continuous Bible reading at the plaza. God “smiled” with a rainbow over Manos de Fe. 🌈 💙😊

The Ember Bridge

“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

How great is our God; that He would use each of us to share His love and providence with the isolated and marginalized Ngabe Bugle living on the reservation in Panama. 🙏🏼❤️
There is no greater work than to share the gospel with those who are desperate and hopeless.
The darkness of the world is replaced with the light of hope and love.

When an indigenous man described the numerous deaths (many of which were school children) caused by the dangerous river crossings; he acknowledged how difficult the construction of a bridge would be, but he followed that acknowledgement with 💯 faith in God, stating that God can do all things. Amen! 🙏🏼

We want to thank everyone who braved the rain and came out to support the building of this life saving bridge. You are all answers to many tearful and desperate prayers. 🙏🏼
We are well on our way to realizing this dream.

The Ember Bridge is a symbol of hope in this community; hope that will spread the love of Christ like wildfire throughout the reservation.

The Ember Gala is coming up soon, and it’s not too late to join us this Saturday, September 7th from 6:00 to 10:00 PM at The Tringali Barn in St. Augustine. There will be amazing food and drinks, a silent auction, and great company. You could even bid on this super awesome item and join us on a trip to Panama soon!🇵🇦💙❤️
If you would like to donate but can’t come, that’s wonderful too! 😊 We will even take your bid for auction items. Just message us.
It’s all for the bridge and 💯 a miracle. 🙌🏼🙏🏼

*If you’ve been to Manos de Fe, you know what our amazing cook Ilka can make when she grinds this up. Yum!!! 💛

This is how you celebrate International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples! 🇵🇦😁💃🏼

We would love to see you at the gala!
This is your chance to be a part of something so much larger than us. “Only God, through you.”🙏🏼

While Friday, August 9th marked the International Day of the World's Indigenous People, we recognize that every day is an opportunity to take meaningful steps towards supporting the over 209,000 members of the Ngäbe-Buglé tribe. Manos de Fe, through the Ember Bridge initiative, is committed to reaching this community with uplifting and empowering programs. Your support, contributions, prayers, and love will play a vital role in transforming the lives and futures of generations to come.

Wow! What a busy and incredible few months we’ve had in Panama! 🇵🇦
We recently hosted 3 teams who accomplished so many amazing things: painting, dug fence-posts and ditches, told Bible stories, played games, painted masterpieces, created a prayer garden, rescued children, celebrated International Day of the World Indigenous Peoples, and so much more!
Manos de Fe has sincere gratitude for the people who come to serve our community and home.
Thank you Church of Eleven22!
Thank you New Covenant Fellowship!
And thank you Sartianos! ❤️
Good is good! 🙏🏼🙌🏼

The Ember Bridge project aims to open the door to evangelism in a remote area of the indigenous reservation. Traditional religious practices on the reservation include witchcraft, spiritual oppression, and are fear-based; leaving many villagers without exposure to the saving grace and love of Christ.

While constructing the bridge, Manos de Fe will spread Christ's love through evangelism, worship services, and ministry support for a local pastor. This partnership will allow us to distribute the word of God to impoverished and illiterate communities using audio Bibles in the Ngabere language. These solar-charged Bibles ensure continuous access to scripture without the need for battery replacements.

Join Manos de Fe at The Ember Gala to help raise the necessary funds for building this bridge, which will save lives and souls.

You could be a vital partner that makes a difference in the lives of impoverished families in Panama.
Please read about this project below, and join us for the Ember Bridge Gala to help support this God-sized endeavor to bring hope and love to those in need.

Today is World Day Against Trafficking and we believe that every victim is worthy of rescue. Please join us in the fight against human trafficking.

According to the United Nations:

*Children are among the most vulnerable to human trafficking, with girls being disproportionately affected.

*Trafficking of children exists in many forms including sexual exploitation, forced labor, forced begging and being traded for goods or services.

Manos de Fe is committed to fighting for the freedom and rights of children in Panama. We aim to prevent human trafficking before it can begin by teaching and awareness; along with recovery of children caught in exploitation, and by providing an environment for restoration and healing.

Please join us in prayer today for the children who have already been rescued and are on their healing journey, and for the ones who are awaiting their rescue. Every life is precious and worthy of freedom. 🙏🏼🩷💙

Panama Bridge Recon Team-Take 2
We are off to the river for measurements and planning. This time we will be taking a helicopter and hiking to the river. Praying for a safe, successful journey full of new relationships and God’s blessings. 🙏🏼❤️💙

Thank you Church of Eleven22 Team A for a wonderful week full of love, prayers and service. Panama will never be the same because of your kindness and love. 🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️
You packed in so much, and spread the love of Christ to everyone who crossed your path: prayer walks, school visits, church service, Mission Clubs, daily devotions with our girls, “Cinderello” production, family outreach, birthday party, sewing lessons, construction, and so much more!
“Well done good and faithful servants.”

Church of Eleven22 Team A
Can’t wait to see all that God has in store for you!
Safe travels 🙏🏼💙

Phase 1 of the Panama Bridge Project fundraising effort is underway! 🙏🏼💙
With the new school year starting last week, we are hoping and praying for $15k in donations to go towards the recon, site plan, and design requirements. We know this is a huge ask, but we also know our God is mighty to save, mighty to love, and mighty to move in ways we cannot even comprehend or explain.
Please help share this need with any person, business or organization that you think could be called to come alongside Manos de Fe and the indigenous community we hope to help.
Donations can be made through the Manos de Fe website @ manosdefe.org/donate
Please make the notation “Bridge Project” along with your giving.
Thank you so much for your prayers and consideration in partnering with us. Every life is precious, and a child should not have to risk their life to go to school or church. 😥🙏🏼💕

*The requirement is to build a pedestrian bridge over a violent and unpredictable river in the middle of the Ngabe-Bugle indigenous reservation in Panama. The village of over 700 people must send their children, dressed in their school uniforms and backpacks, across this dangerous river each day just to go to school! The elderly and women with babies must also cross the river for church and health care needs.
With over 10 deaths in the last couple years, and after a desperate cry for help from an area pastor, we are putting our “YES” on the table- will you help us???
The indigenous reservation is a spiritually dark place, and there is great need for Jesus. We will not only be building a bridge over a dangerous river for the community, but we will also be bringing the gospel to an unreached people group. This is a massive endeavor, but so is our God! 🙏🏼🙌🏼💙

Thank you Sabios Team for all the love, sweat and tears you poured into Panama by serving our kids, church family and neighbors. 🇵🇦 ❤️🥲
(Wait, we were supposed to say it was allergies….)😅
There is nothing greater than seeing God’s love being shared through beautiful acts of love, respect and honor. This amazing team helped host our back-to-school party where almost 100 school uniforms, backpacks and shoes were distributed to families in need. They were also the answer to many prayers by completing a bathroom and an outdoor shower for a family that lived in sticks and plastic. The team celebrated Pastor Nixon’s birthday, honored our young girls with a tea party, prayed over our new cottage construction, shared in devotions with our kids, completed many maintenance tasks at MDF, built prayer benches for the new church, and so much more!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything.
We pray that God will bless you abundantly for your hearts of gold. 🙏🏼💛

Wow, what a day! We got caffeined-up, bought supplies, and went to work!
Building relationships, building showers, putting in sinks, and changing lives.

Good times in Panama. 🇵🇦
