What an awesome day! Today we had the opportunity to visit and minister in a nursing home. What a great blessing it was to be there on Father’s Day to show the love of God with the people that may not get that love shown to them!
The team loves hearing what you guys have to say back home! Keep checking back for more updates and more pictures!

Nursing homes are amazing…finding people that have been able to keep their joy through even the most difficult times, and confronting the bitter who are finishing their lives with the pain of life-long disappointments…a lesson in living life with the end in mind!
Nowhere, though, are there people who long more to be remembered and have someone willing to listen and love them! What an awesome way to spend Father’s Day! I think about you all constantly through the day, and when I “think” I pray! I know God is “jamming” the days with His glory!
Love you,
Barb
Matt, you look like you are getting into the drama!!! (xxoo)

Philip Patriquin,
Looks like the dramas are touching hearts and making an impact.
It’s amazing how much compassion you feel for those you meet, but remember encouragement is real ministry. Always, speak grace and mercy. Your family is praying daily and Hershey is missing you bad, so run with the ball.
Yours
Dad
Tell the Butler team to touch base with home.

Let your faith continue to grow and be ready for God to show up and watch and see how He will move because you were willing to Go!!! Thanks for being such a blessing. We love you bunches!!

I know you’re behind the scenes, where we can’t see you, but we know you’re a vital part of all that’s being accomplished.
I love you, and I’m proud of you.

It is such a wonderful opportunity to share God’s love and compassion with others. My heart is so touched by seeing such precious Youth (and leaders) being the hands and feet of God, and sharing his heart. Sarah, my precious daughter, I’m so very blessed to be your Mom, you make me so proud.

Oh you guys… I can just imagine what an awesome time you are having. My eyes are filled with tears as I think of the lives that you are touching…even with just a smile and the touch of a hand you are showing the love of God. I’m so proud of each and every one of you for catching the vision, for taking a step of faith, raising the funds and getting to where you are today. As you are touching the lives of those around you take the time to realize that God is touching you and you’ll never be the same for it. Enjoy each site, make the very most of it because you will never be right there ever again… just soak it in! God bless you all. Mombo Baca

Thank you for the Father’s Day messages! The messages were a pleasant surprise and a blessing to both Father’s and Mother’s.
I know that the nursing home residents were truly blessed by your visit and happy to have a wonderful group of caring and loving believers spend the day with them.
My precious daughter, Stephanie, shared with me that hundreds of students were saved today. She said it was an awesome experience and God is working in wonderful ways. I am thankful that God’s plans are being fulfilled in Panama and that she is part of his plan.
As you leave for the San Blas Islands on Thursday, I pray for God’s protection over each of you and that he will give you guidance and compassion as you lead others to him. As devoted stewards for God, you will yield excellent rewards.
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
God bless you … you are making a difference!

Good Morning to all
Thanks so much for the wonderful Father’s Day emails and video! What an awesome idea! My husband was so thrilled!
I think going to the nursing home was such a blessing, not only for the nursing home people, but as much for the Ministry team and those that went. How often the elderly get forgotten. My thankfulness for taking those kids!
Just a note to say ‘hi’ and our love and prayers are with all of you today! KTO, thanks again for your email to your Dad! It meant the world to him! Your awesome! We are so proud of you! You are truly a blessing to us, and always have been! We love and miss you! Love always, Mom & Dad
