Panama Central District establishes first church in indigenous area

by | 22 Jul 2015

Fuente de Vida Church of the Nazarene, the first Nazarene church in the Guna de Wargandí indigenous area, was established June 28.

With great joy, Panama Central District Superintendent Carlos de la Cruz guided congregations and members from other district churches to the opening of the church and the dedication of a dining room. Afterwards, Fuente de Vida Pastor Abel Lopez Oller continued the celebration in the sanctuary.

The highest authority of the area, the saila, gave words of appreciation to the superintendent for this new church in the community. After seeing the interest in helping the people, he approved the church's use of the site.

Those assembled at the event praised the Lord in Spanish and Guna, the local language. de la Cruz then brought the message to the people, translated by Brother Palestino. The message emphasized the love of God for all, and de la Cruz also prayed for the sick.
