CLC World Report Summary
2023 was a challenging year, with a combination of joys and challenges. During October and November, the country was immersed in strikes preventing the free transit of people and vehicles. This situation had a great impact on the ministry to such an extent that we had to make staff reductions.
CLC in the town of David was the most affected, with almost two months without being able to receive a supply of goods. To solve this situation we proceeded to rent a truck to carry more than six pallets of merchandise. It was a long journey as we waited 12 hours at a roadblock, even having to sleep in the truck. We praise God we were able to reach our David bookshop. He surely sustained us during a very difficult time in our country.
We praise God for the many opportunities and divine appointments we had at the 2023 Panamanian International Book Fair mid August. Through our social foundation, we had the opportunity to collaborate in various training events, workshops, and even a national spelling bee contest.
