Major challenges facing Evangelicals:
a) Spiritual unity in vision. Although there has been progress made in recent years, too often local churches are more concerned about larger buildings, denominational loyalty and fame than they are in working together to reach the lost, especially beyond their own local interest.
b) The moral decay which impacts family life. Family conflicts and break-ups are common. Over 72% of births are illegitimate. Domestic violence has become a serious issue because of its increase. Pray that Christians may demonstrate an alternative Biblical model. Pray for the Holy Spirit to convict many of sin and lead them to the Savior.
c) Effective ministry to young people. Many are disillusioned by the traditional church and authority structures. While efforts to minister to teenagers and children have increased, dynamic ministries dedicated to their blessing need to emerge. There is an increasing problem with young people forming gangs and taking drugs.
d) Theological training that encourages holiness of life and spirituality. There are now 25 or more Bible schools (15 AoG with 500 students) and seminaries, as well as four TEE programmes. Pray for more Panamanians to be called into full-time service. Godly, mature leadership is needed to energize the church and combat the widespread activities of cultic groups.
