A youth mission group from Seventh-day Adventist churches in Maryland is “safe” and returning from southern Panama after being unable to leave a compound for more than a week due to social unrest over inflation in the country that links Central and South America.
Travel arrangements are pending for close to 30 Seventh-day Adventist young people and their escorts after their mission trip to southern Panama was threatened by social unrest in the region. During the past week, social and economic protests have paralyzed ground transportation in the Central American country.
Around 30 missionaries in Panama, including 17 teenagers and their chaperones, are heading back home to Maryland after being trapped in a compound for over a week by social unrest in the country.
