Mission Panama
Living Waters Retreat Center
Wednesday, January 28 to
Wednesday, February 4th, 2026
Mission Opportunity,
Purpose
Each year, the LWRC hosts hundreds of people, some of which travel to Panama through the Living Water Foundation. Short-term mission trips are an incredible opportunity to grow spiritually, to cultivate an awareness of the world and needs around you, and to respond to God’s call to share the Gospel through personal and servant ministry. As a mission, we look forward to the opportunity to introduce visitors to all the work God is doing in Panama through the LWRC.
We desire for you to catch a glimpse of our vision and hope you will be excited to be a part of it. No two mission trips are the same. The most successful trips generally have a few things in common: strong group leaders, humble team members with willingness to learn and serve, and a common respect for the host country and missionaries. Your team will have an opportunity to impact the people of Panama through the LWRC, just as much as the trip itself will have a long-term impact on your team members’ lives. We strive to offer everyone the opportunity for hands-on ministry. We trust that God will work through all the planning, preparation, and prayer to make your trip a powerful experience that glorifies Christ.

Honduras
Honduras is a unique mission experience. You will be challenged physically, mentally and spiritually. Your heart will be changed and your eyes opened as you experience God's presence during this life changing trip.
How you can support this mission:
-
We are seeking donations to purchase Spanish Bibles. God has burdened our hearts to give out 5,000 Bibles to spread the gospel message. Each Bible costs $3.00
-
We are collecting money to purchase 15,000 pounds of beans to give away as we go door to door.
-
Medical expense money. We encounter many people that need medical attention and we pay for those services when possible.
-
We continue to build homes when resources are available. Each block home costs $5,000.
I would love to share with you or your Lifegroup how God used Honduras to transform my heart and change the direction of my life.

Compassion International (Mission Partner)
We're a Christian child sponsorship organization working to release children from poverty by meeting their right-now and long-term needs in partnership with the local church.
-
Christ-centered. Children living in poverty need the hope of the gospel. That's why we share the gospel with every single child in a way they can understand. We go beyond offering humanitarian aid, introducing children to Jesus, their eternal hope.
-
Church-driven. Local churches know best the needs of children living in their communities. We partner with local churches only, giving them the resources they need to know, love, and protect children in need.
-
Child-focused. No two children are the same. Our local church partners tailor their support to each child's unique needs.
Purpose
In partnership with the local church, we meet each child's right-now needs, such as nutrition, medical care, and encouragement, as well as their long-term needs, such as education and vocational training.
But we don't just meet a child's physical, mental, and emotional needs. We also care for them spiritually by introducing them to the gospel. While children living in poverty face many challenges, eternal hope is found in Jesus. And it's Compassion's mission to share him with those in need.
With their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs met, children can become healthy, strong, confident, and empowered to journey out of poverty.
