While I was in prayer in my home, I had a vision and
began to pray about what I saw. In the vision, I saw a baby with
a white baby hooded cap. The baby had a well rounded face
and a completion of pale white. Under the hooded cap the baby
had no ears. I prayed for this baby and went on my way
through the rest of my prayer time.
A couple of months later, I was invited to go to San Blas
Islands in Panama. We visited three islands: Irigandi, Ukupa,
and Playon Chico. The people were pigmy Indians called Kuna
Indians. They did not speak English or Spanish but a dialect of
Kuna Yala.
Our team met up with a Pastor of a Baptist church. He
allowed us to stay at his church while we would visit the islands
and do medical missions. We administered a stomach medicine
to help get rid of worms that was a major issue because of the
unsanitary fruit and vegetables the people ate.
We slept in huts on hammocks to keep from get bit by the
rats and covered our hammocks to keep from getting bit by the
mosquitoes and bats. Fresh homemade bread, bottled coke, and
the catch of the day fish or prawns were the staple food that was
safe to eat for us.
The clear blue water was deceiving as it looked like it
was shallow, but it was several feet deep. Starfish were
beautiful and sea urchins were abundant. Plantain bananas,
breadfruit, coconuts, and mangoes were good if you picked it
fresh and ensured nothing was in it before you took a bite.
The people were small in stature, bronze in color, and
most of the men had large muscles on their forearms. Big dark
brown eyes peeked at us while we would preach at the church
hut that was lit with lantern. It was not much light at all, but the
joy of the people lit up the atmosphere. They traveled far from
one part of the island to the other just to hear what we had to
say.
