2024 highlights
Arms of love Guatemala with John and ilsi Collins
Dear Friends and Family,
As we reflect on 2024, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your incredible support. Your generosity has fully funded the completion of the Arms of Love Ministry Center, a milestone that will enable us to expand our reach and share Christ’s love with even more families.
Our ministry focuses on serving single mothers and children from low-income families, providing essential support through education, feeding programs, and skill training. We aim to empower these families by creating job opportunities and helping them become financially stable. Additionally, we look forward to starting a school that will offer scholarships, ensuring children in our community have access to quality education. Through these efforts, we aim to reflect Jesus’s love in tangible ways.
We look forward to completing the ministry center around September or October of 2025, which will enable us to further our mission and impact even more lives.
With heartfelt thanks,
John and Ilsi Collins

There are three missionaries working for “pan De Vida” in Panama. Michael Young is the Vice President in charge of Panamanian missions and works closely with Wilfredo and Luz Montenegro and their two daughters. The Montenegro family targets the indigenous people of Panama. Their goal is to win and disciple the people. This year they have had 79 people seek Jesus and have made significant progress in discipline those.
Herbert Ospina is involved in outreach ministry in partnership with several different denominations. He targets un reached and under reached communities. He plans and executes medical clinics. Children gospel events as well as community get together to watch and participate in singing, preaching and ministering. In one area, a woman who was on the verge of suicide because her husband had left her and her young daughter without any means of support was given hope and help. This woman is now one of our outreach leaders

The ladies ministry is also growing a lot. We had 40 ladies the last meeting. Also the cell groups keeps groin the Lord. The leaders team in bigger and the desire to serve the Lord is in every heart.
