My name is Jamie Kuzia, and this is Rachel. She's six months old.

2
00:00:04.970 --> 00:00:10.850
I live in Panama at Agua Dulce in one of the guest rooms with

3
00:00:10.850 --> 00:00:12.330
my husband and Rachel.

4
00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:16.040
We've been here for almost a year.

5
00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:22.080
Well, I think that the needs in this community would be just a real awareness of

6
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:23.340
the ways

7
00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:28.120
of the Lord and what is truth and how to align their lives with truth.

8
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.760
because I think that some of the issues stem from a lack of knowledge of who their

9
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:33.040
creator

10
00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:36.360
is and also a lack of alignment with his will and his ways.

11
00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:42.100
So I think that, yeah, just some biblical teaching about basic truths about,

12
00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:44.080
yeah, the gospel

13
00:00:44.080 --> 00:00:48.880
as well as how we're supposed to live the practicalities of that I think would make

14
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.520
a massive impact on people's lives and the quality of their life.

15
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.800
I think that that could be accomplished by empowering some of the locals

16
00:00:57.800 --> 00:00:58.820
and really

17
00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:03.020
investing in a couple key local members like Simone and Amalia here for

18
00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:06.800
instance really empowering them to go and reach their own community members

19
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:11.340
and equipping them with the skills necessary to do that they're able to

20
00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:16.920
relate on more of a cultural level than we could as gringos like I know

21
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.880
that they supply Bibles, for instance.

22
00:01:19.780 --> 00:01:23.980
And then Simone and Amalia go and share with their families

23
00:01:23.980 --> 00:01:27.680
and they've helped equip Simone with the ability

24
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.400
to drill for water and some of those practical needs.

25
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.600
They've helped them with that as well.

26
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.220
Just a really great group of people that came to serve

27
00:01:38.220 --> 00:01:40.300
and they've been going, going, going non-stop

28
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.820
since they arrived nine days ago.

29
00:01:44.820 --> 00:01:50.820
And yeah, just with a really open heart to love and serve in

30
00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:53.600
any capacity while they've been here.
