The history of the New Apostolic Church in Panama began in 1974 with the establishment of its first congregation. During the early years, many ministers played a vital role in building the foundation for the Church’s work in the region.
In 1992, Panama became the base of operations for Apostle Yepez, whose leadership extended beyond Panama to include many other countries over the next 30 years. Under his guidance, the Church in Panama was richly blessed, and the country emerged as a significant source of support for the Church’s mission.
Today, Bishop Rangel continues to provide steadfast leadership, caring for and serving the Church family across the region. His dedication ensures the ongoing growth and strengthening of our community of faith.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Church’s work in Panama, District Apostle Schnabel delivered a meaningful message, drawing from Ruth 1:16: “... for wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.” This passage highlights the heart of the Church’s mission in Panama: a simple but powerful desire to follow and serve. This attitude has been the key to God’s abundant blessings and it will continue to pave the way for future growth and outreach.
While the intricacies of God’s plan may not always be fully understood, the members place their trust in His perfect will. Even when His ways seem unexpected, there is confidence that His guidance is always for the best, and His work will continue to unfold in His perfect timing.
In summary, The 50th anniversary of the church in Panama marks not only a milestone in its history but also a reminder of the faithfulness and trust that have guided its growth. As the our family in Christ look to the future, they remain committed to following God’s will, confident that His blessings will continue to flow.
