The day before the journey begins

The journey began with a brother who wanted to bless the children in Panama with some toys, but God had a bigger plan than that. As BIC began to meet, the Holy Spirit began to inspire a wider vision, and as we prayed and fasted the mission began to be revealed. First a 20 foot container was donated and the communication with the pastors in Panama began. As their needs were made known, God put in place the people to fulfill those needs and at the same time began stretching the men and women involved. Each person involved has their own God stories As we walked in faith and the omniprences power of the Holy Spirit is working in Panama and at the same time churches throughout the countryside that didn't communicate before are now working in unity as they prepare for our arrival and they also have their God stories that we hope to share with you. Now eight months later, the container was expanded to a full size 40-foot container with over 600 new toys and many used toys, musical instruments, drums, congas, bongos, guitars both electrical and accoustical, key boards, moroccos, tamborines, sound boards, refrigerators, freezers, over 150 chairs, 45 large boxes of clothes, office funriture and much more were donated. Praise God for this provision. On December 28, the trailer departed for Panama and is due to arrive on Jan. 2. The team of 13 people that God has ordained for such a time as this will arrive on January 3. BIC would like to thank all of the men, women and families involved from the smallest details to the biggest ones. Thanks once again for your obedience to God's prompting. We know you will be blessed many times over. Please continue to pray, this is just the beginning. Your Brothers In Christ.
