About › Family › World › Panama

The Alliance entered Panama in 1998, and our workers are engaged primarily in church-planting ministries, focusing on Chinese immigrants. A vibrant Chinese Alliance church has been established in Panama City, where our workers are reaching out to this influential ethnic community with the love of Jesus.

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
