rhema nursing college intake for 2016
Rhema USA School of World Missions students finish their studies each year with a one-month internship somewhere in the world. Typically, each student goes to a different country to help share the Good News. This year the Lord led the school's program director, Joe Duininck, to send all 22 students to Panama's Darien Jungle to minister God's power and love to those living in darkness.
Rhema graduates Dennis and Jeanne Cook have established and built a ministry in the Darien to share God's life and light with the Chocó Indians. Working with the Cooks, the Rhema students experienced missions work first-hand.
During the day, the students helped with construction work at the Cooks' compound. In the evening, they ministered in churches and saw the Lord perform many miracles.
At one church, several missions students were warned that three teenage boys there were known as thieves. The students were told to keep an eye on their personal belongings. Filled with compassion, several students decided to go talk with the rebellious boys and tell them about Jesus.
"I gave them a salvation message about what God did for them, and the three of them responded," shared third-year missions student Remon Baseleous. "One of them was even crying. Then we asked them if they would like to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and one of them spoke in tongues. That was a new beginning for them."
The Rhema men and women shared the Good News boldly, and God continued to touch lives throughout the month. By the end of the trip, the Rhema group had held outreaches at six villages, shared the Gospel on the streets, and visited and ministered to children and youth in public schools. Over 200 people received salvation, 99 were healed, and 70 were filled with the Holy Spirit.
Third-year missions student Hannah Goodspeed said the Panama trip confirmed her calling to be a missionary. "Doing the Lord's work is what we were made for," she shared. "There is fulfilling joy when we are doing what we were made for. I came back excited. He's got such amazing things planned for us. And we get to be a part of it."
