Meet Rafael and his family. Their home is beautifully painted with prayers and proclamations to God on the walls of their house. When their home was at risk from a faulty roof, Missio Dei was called to collectively raise funds to pay for his roof.

It is truly powerful to know that God has allowed us to be the answer to those prayers! This work was done with coordination of the Anglican Church in Panama and our missionary family the Omar’s.

Obed is the Senior Pastor of Iglesia Cristiana Unida en Santidad. (on the right)
