Challenges for Prayer
Panama’s strategic location and stability also attract many other forces to the area. Proximity to Colombia and the prevalence of offshore finance mean that drug cartels and other undesirables are strongly present and using much of the economy to launder money. Pray for a government that will root out corruption and oppose wickedness.
