A peek back and the week ahead...

Wow, two weeks have flown by since the last post. So much has happened...I will try and summarize it as much as I can.

Our Weekly Schedule:

Monday: Campus (9-4:30), Bible Study (3-4:30), Training night (7-8:45)

Tuesday: Campus (9-4), Team fun or Guys time/Girls time

Wednesday: Campus (9-4:30), Bible Study Prep (3-4:30), Free night

Thursday: Campus (9-4:30), Weekly Meeting (12:30-2), Project Fun night

Friday: Campus (9-3), prayer meeting (6:30-8)

Week: May 17-21

Our team primarily worked within the Business Faculty this week, as we finally received permission from the administration to be there (long story cut short: the administration said we werent allowed to be there until we had a schedule of what we would be doing and they had a meeting with the Panamanian Staff Member, Secundina). We had a classroom talk outreach, and also had a small movie outreach.

Occasionally we were meeting up again with students from science, whom we met in the prior week, to further answer their questions about God, and the Gospel.

Week: May 24-28

This week, we focused even more in the Business Faculty, as one of the Vida Estudiantil student leaders is in this faculty. His name is Ruben. He's been a huge help to our team in translating and has a contagious enthusiasm for life, God, and reaching others for Christ.

We were able to have two outreach classroom talks, with first year students. During these "classroom talks" we presented some material on "Relaciones Exitosas" or "Successful Relationships," followed by a personal testimony and then a Gospel presentation.

and now, THIS WEEK!

This is our last week on campus!!! I cant believe it.

This week we are really focusing on following up with those who we've shared the Gospel with and those who heard our presentations in the classrooms. Often, these follow-up meetings are quite challenging, as students will agree to meet up, but for whatever reason, simply dont show up to the actual meeting. If you could pray for these meetings, that students would come and really discover a dynamic relationship with our living God, that'd be awesome!

Pictures help tell the story a bit better...here are couple snapshots of our time here so far:
