Together, we are currently making disciples, training leaders, and establishing churches and campus ministries in more than 80 nations.
We remain centered on Christ—he is the foundation and cornerstone of everything we do.
COLOSSIANS 1:1–18
We welcome and celebrate the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, who enables us to honor God and become effective witnesses of the gospel.
ACTS 1:8
We demonstrate the compassion and character of Christ to communities and cultures.
PROVERBS 14:31
Since we received the call to go, our Panama church plant team has seen God open miraculous doors for them to reach the campus.
Our team comes from different nations including Peru, the Philippines, and the United States, all with the same vision: to plant a campus-reaching church. We began reaching out to students in Panama City in 2020 through online English classes and built relationships with both students and faculty. One-by-one, the church planters moved to Panama
and have focused on reaching local universities with the gospel. In March 2022, Every Nation Panama officially launched.
Every time we go on campus, every time we meet a student, God does something. God shows up. And he’s been working in the lives of students long before we even go, long before we even plant a church.
By God’s grace, we’ve baptized people, trained students to minister, and have even opened a student center strategically located between five major universities.
One student, Eduardo, was initially reached through the church’s online English classes. While he got to know our Every Nation missionaries, God was working on his heart.
Eventually, Eduardo began asking what it meant to have a relationship with Jesus. He heard the gospel at a time when he was ready to receive it, and since then, Eduardo has been a faithful disciple of Christ who is actively reaching his friends.
Panamanian students are being transformed by the gospel and hearing God’s call to go and make disciples. As God continues to change lives in the nation and on campus, our team has dreams of planting more churches that would reach the campus.
Our heart is to reach those students, train those students, and they would be leaders in the nation of Panama. Once we’ve planted our church here and it’s growing, we want to extend to the rest of Central America. Our dream is to plant a church in Costa Rica, to plant a church in Honduras, El Salvador, the rest of Central America, starting from Panama.
The Apostle Paul exhorted Timothy to “guard the good deposit … with the help of the Holy Spirit” (2 Timothy 1:14). Like Timothy, every ministry has a good deposit that must be guarded. In Every Nation, our foundational values articulate for us the good deposit we as a ministry must guard together, lest they be lost. Whether we’re building a discipleship group, a music group, or planting a new church, these core values are the essential issues and help describe how we build.
Because Jesus is “King of kings and Lord of lords,” we believe that whole-hearted submission to God’s will and his Word is the starting point of the Christian faith and the foundation of all spiritual growth.
COLOSSIANS 2:6
Because God’s heart is to reach the lost, we’re passionate about preaching the gospel and doing ministry in a way that engages people outside of the Christian faith. We seek to build churches primarily through evangelism, not transfer growth.
JOHN 3:16, LUKE 19:10
Because we’re called to make disciples, our primary focus is establishing biblical foundations, equipping believers to minister, and empowering disciples to make disciples—not conducting meetings, facilitating programs, or building buildings.
MATTHEW 28:19,20
Because we’re called to establish churches and campus ministries in every nation, we’re committed to a culture of empowering leadership. We’re intentionally multi-generational, and we deliberately create opportunities and platforms to develop the next generation of leaders.
2 TIMOTHY 2:2
Because the family is the foundation and validation of ministry, we refuse to sacrifice our marriages and our children on the altars of temporal success. And because we believe God has called us to be a spiritual family, we embrace community, reject the idea of disposable relationships, and choose to walk in love, respect, and unity.
PSALM 127:1,3
