Meet Rafael and his family. Missio Dei is raising the funds to pay for his roof. He has painted prayers and proclamations to God on the walls of his house. It is really powerful to know that God has allowed us to be the answer to those prayers! This work is done with coordination of the Anglican Church in Panama and our missionary family the Omar’s.
