Dia 1, universidad latina: 

Despues de pasar todo el dia del viernes en el aeropuerto esperando por vuelos retrasados, finalmente llegamos a Panamá y empezamos a recibir las bendiciones de Dios y experimentar su trabajo en nuetras vidas mientras teniamos tiempo de bienvenida y planificación para las siguientes semanas.

Hoy nuestro grupo tenía 2 opciones, ir a la Universidad católica o a la universidad Latina. Pero nos enteramos que en la universidad católica no habría clases, así que decidimos ir a la Latina. Una vez allá, llamamos a nuestra amiga Paola quien esta siendo discípulada por los líderes de cru en Panama, y esta comprometida con construir un movimiento en su universidad. Ella estaba en clases así que tuvimos que esperar un poco, pero mientras ella llegaba nosotros oramos por la universidad y los estudiantes que conoceremos, pedimos al señor que prepare sus corazones y nos de estrategias para compartir el evangelio con ellos, de manera que mostremos el amor de Cristo a sus vidas y ellos puedan ser transformados por el mensaje de la cruz.

Luego de orar, Paola llegó y nos dió un tour por la universidad, enseñándonos las áreas mas frecuentadas por los estudiantes y diversos salones donde se da clase,  después de explorar la universidad decidimos ir a almorzar en la cafetería de la universidad, mientras estábamos allí hablamos con ellas varios puntos acerca de lo que ae quiere al construir un movimiento, ellas nos expresaron su deseo por anunciar el evangelio y nos enseñaron un poco sobre su cultura. Terminamos nuestro recorrido del 1er día y volvimos al hostal. Mañana nos espera otro día desafiante y pedimos a Dios poder tener conversaciones con estudiantes que necesiten conocer de el.

-Mateo 28;19

Day 1: Universidad Latina

Hi Friends, after spending a whole day at the airport waiting for delayed flights we finally made it to Panama and we started receiving God's blessings and experiencing his work in our lives as we had briefing and planification times forthe following weeks.

Today our group had 2 options: either going to the catholic university 'USMA' or going to 'La universidad Latina'. But we found out that there wouldn't be classes in 'USMA' so we decided to go to 'la Latina'. Once in 'La universidad Latina' we tried to reach our friend Paola who is being discipled by the leaders of cru in Panama, and committed to building a movement in her university. She had classes so we had to wait for her for a bit, but while we were waiting we prayed for the hearts of students and asked the Lord to prepare us and give us strategies to share the gospel with them in a way that we can reflect the love of Christ with our lives and so they can be transformed by the message of the cross. We also prayed about a special permission that we need in order to get to enter into the building since it is a private university,  of course God's answer was shown to us in no time and that's something we praise him for.

After praying Paola showed up and took us for a tour around the building showing us which areas are the most commons for students to hang out and some classrooms where we could find students to talk to. Once done exploring/touring the building we went to the cafeteria for lunch and talked to Paola about her hope and dreams about her university, and how she wants the Lord to use her so others can know him through sharing the gospel and growing a movement at 'La universidad Latina' she also told us a little bit about their culture and how students think about the gospel and religion in general.

So we finished our exploring day and came back to the hostal. Tomorrow will be another challenging day since we'll be going to the catholic university, and for that I'm excited and also praying the Lord he would help me find students to talk to who need him as much as he wants them to know him.
