In 2010, Awe star will venture into Panama for our twelfth year of service. For several years, our trips have been hosted by Selegna Diaz who has an enormous heart for the lost people of her country. In recent years however, we have had the privilege of partnering with Selegna's sister and brother-in-law, Marielena and Todd Tillinghast. During our mission in-country, we will paddle and hike into the jungles and take the gospel to indigenous tribes. Walker Moore, our President and Founder, has the honor of being named co-chief of the Emera Puru people in the jungle. 

In addition to ministering in the jungle areas, our contacts will lead us to many urban areas where numerous people's lives have the opportunity to be forever changed by the power of the gospel. Step out of your comfort zone and into God's leadership to Panama.

Testimonials

“This summer God showed me that missions are not only for the qualified.  He can use any and everyone if only we will lay down our lives and allow Him to use us for His glory.  Because I was obedient to go, my life will never be the same."  Katie

"During our Awe Star trip God showed me how I am to live the rest of my life.  Not as a citizen, or person of the world, but as a missionary with the schedule of a missionary.  Whether that be home or abroad.  My life is to be my mission field."  Heather
