Cup of Cold Water Ministries, Panama

CUP OF COLD WATER MINISTRIES

Cup of Cold Water Ministries is located in El Valle, Panama. The Ministry is managed by David and Lisa Carter and supported by a number of Churches of Christ here in the USA. 

Sharing the good news of the Gospel is the primary objective. But what makes the effort one of the most satisfying I have ever experienced is getting to know all the wonderful people you meet. And El Valle is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I have been visiting El Valle since I was a child and have many wonderful memories. 

The town is located in the flat wide caldera of the 6 km wide El Valle volcano that is inactive; there is evidence that it erupted as recently as about 300,000 years ago.  Because of its elevation (600 m), it is cooler than the Panamanian lowlands. Natural attractions near El Valle include the Chorro El Macho waterfall, Las Mozas waterfall, the "square" trees behind Hotel Campestre, and a group of small thermal pools (which consist of three cement pools of mineralized water that varies in color depending on the specific minerals present at a given moment). The area around the town is also known for being one of the last habitats of the critically endangered Panamanian golden frog. Some of the forests around the town are protected areas.

(Isn't Google wonderful?) 

The Carter family is one of the mission groups we have followed and worked with over the years. They are dedicated and very effective. They love their work and invite others to share in it. They are out of town for a few weeks but when they get back I will ask them for a link to their church here in the USA. I invite you support them and contact them if you want to know more.
