The following is a short summary of a missionary trip made in early January, 2017, by a group of 21 based out of Skandia Evangelical Free Church.
Day 1:
The first of two groups left Minneapolis at 5:00 a.m., the second at 6:00 a.m. With different layover durations and locations, the separated groups found themselves over seven hours apart upon arrival in Panama. After such a lengthy day of travel, the team sought slumber.
Day 2:
As the sun breached the horizon of La Chorrera, 21 missionaries from Minnesota started their first full day with the Alpha & Omega Family Ministry. Their first view in the daylight was new for most, but beautiful to all. From the back of Beth-El, they would be treated to that same view for the next six mornings.
After breakfast, everyone gathered for an introductory briefing. At this time, those from 2,600 miles to the north were introduced to another four missionaries from Kansas, most of which were part of the groups medical team.
