Hello from Panama!

Throughout their time in Panama, the T Bar M Team will send updates and prayer requests, which will be shared here. Check back throughout the week to this same page to hear about their trip.

Final Update:

The team arrived home on Saturday, March 15th! They were greeted with celebration and prayer by local family and friends in New Braunfels. As they sang together, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow", we know it to be true! Thank you, God for power of your Gospel throughout Panama, provision and safety, the blessing of fellowship and community, and salvation through your Son Jesus.

Day 6 & 7:

Update from Tori Feaster: "We had a great time exploring Panama City and the canal yesterday. We are ready to board our flight back to the US!

Days 4 & 5:

Update from Tori Feaster: "The past two days have been AMAZING!! We have hosted camp in the morning with over 100 kids and many of them have been very receptive to the gospel! After 3 days in a row with them, they feel like close friends and it will be hard to leave them! In the afternoon both yesterday and today, we split our group in half and half of us went hut to hut, sharing the gospel and getting to know people in the community. The other half put on camp for 2 different communities (one yesterday, one today).

At both camps and in our home visits, we had many people accept Christ for the first time and many others who were already believers but had more questions and were very curious! Each of our coaches has gone ABOVE & BEYOND to engage with the kids and families and they have not let the language barrier stop them! The translators and trip leaders have been such a blessing, and everyone agrees that we do not want to leave tomorrow!"

Day 3:

Today was the first day of school for the community (their “summer” break is Christmas until today), and they canceled class for the team to come and host camp for the kids. They played games, did skits, and walked through the Gospel through Gospel beads!

In the afternoon, the team went to different houses, asked people questions, then shared the Gospel and prayed for them. In the evening, Brady shared a message about David from the Bible, they worshiped together, and then played the Jesus Film.

When reflecting tonight, a common theme was an awe of the goodness of God and an amazement at the hunger people have for Him. The team is excited to do it all again tomorrow!

Day 2:

After an adventurous ride through the jungle, the team made it to the school! They are spending tonight setting up camp and preparing for their first camp tomorrow morning.

Day 1:

The team has landed safely in Panama City! They are currently at their hotel, eating dinner, and gearing up for their travel day tomorrow.

As we receive updates from the trip leaders, we'll continue to add to this page with pictures and stories - so stay tuned!

Thank you for your continued prayer and support as this team steps out to share the love of Christ in Panama! If you feel led to give, you can still do so here.

How to Prepare Your Child for Overnight Camp

There’s nothing quite like the joy and growth that happens at overnight camp. It’s a place where kids get unplug, try new things, and build deep friendships—all while having a blast. For many families, it’s a first-time experience, and that can come with just a few nerves (for parents and campers alike!). We’re here to walk alongside you and help you prepare your child for an incredible week of camp at T Bar M.

Adopt A Cov This Summer!

For over 30 years, the T Bar M Staff Medallion has been handed to those who have faithfully served (though many served before this tradition began). Over 6,000 people have been part of this team we call family. Whether your medallion still hangs around your neck, is carefully tucked away in a safe place, or hangs where it’s easily seen, the sight of it takes you back to a season of sacrifice, service, and how God changed you.
