This is the Bay of Panama. The buildings across the bay are the high rise apartment buildings of El Chorillo where I have worked in past trips. It is an area of extreme poverty. Eric and I went there today to help with an information meeting on an upcoming Ann Graham crusade.
The next few photos are taken from the La Rivera community where we will be working in during our trip in March.
Most homes are two bedroom homes and made out of concrete with a metal roof. There is no air-conditioning and the temperatures are very warm.
Some people in the area can afford an automobile and others keep their lawns neat.
There is a sense of pride among the home owners in La Rivera. The people who live here are the working middle class.
The structure in the middle is the remains of an old convent dating back at least to the 1700’s. We passed this on the way from La Rivera to El Chorillo.
This is the information meeting for the Ann Graham crusade. It was held at El Chorillo Baptist Church. Compare the photos of this church to the churches I'm going to post in the next few days.
This is an upclose photo of the El Chorillo area. As you can see it is a far cry from La Rivera.

I didn't mean it that way. I was just saying that some have cars and some have neat lawns. There is no relation between the two.
hey matt its joel i didnt know you went to panama again. I hope you had a good time. Best wishes.
What's up Jonely Bonely? I took the same kind of planning trip that you and I went on last year. The missionaries asked about you.
