Chicá, Panama
About Our Partnership
In the fall of 2021, Hope Church began a partnership relationship with Iglesia Bautista Torre Fuerte (Strong Tower Church) in Chicá, Panama under the umbrella of EFCA's Global Fingerprints program. As a church, we have sent short-term missions teams to Chicá and we also currently support over 40 children in their neighborhood. The church there connects with these children regularly to help assess and provide for their physical, emotional and spiritual needs, all with a focus on sharing the love of Christ and the Good News! It's our goal to grow this relationship to build a true ministry partnership and continue to send short-term teams regularly as we minister together in Panama and in Iowa. We are so blessed and excited to see what God has in store as we grow deeper with them!
January 10-17, 2026 Trip
This January, we’re sending a team to Chicá, Panama to come alongside our partner church—helping lead a children’s VBS and continue important construction projects.
Recap of previous tripS
On previous trips, we sent a team to Chicá to serve alongside the local church and build relationships within the community. Together, they extended the roof off the back of the church to create new classroom and ministry space, added a kitchen and bedroom, replaced existing roofing, painted, and shared practical care by offering a CPR class.
