    An Opportunity Lost

    In 2007 I had the opportunity to work with Global Focus, an international ONG that was
    working initially in Africa, but looking after expansion to Latin and Panama making social
    community works and Evangelistic outreach throughout the presentation of the movie
    "Jesus". Their main purpose in Panama was to preach the gospel in the mountains of Cocle,
    mainly in communities where there was no electricity, making like a completely free Movie
    theater with a big screen and sound systems.

    I was the one in charge of all the audio and visual equipments. Working there I met Ted
    Trandahl, a soul's passionate pastor that became to be like a father to me and my personal
    English tutor for couple months, I learned a lot from him and his family.

    Ted was the manager of the organization in Latin America with offices in Panama. Ted and
    his family moved to live in Panama for over a year, nevertheless due plan changes the head
    court's of global focus in United States decided to work in Nicaragua rather than in Panama,
    so I stopped working for them but I still used to visit my friend at least once a month,
    because they remain living in Panama meanwhile they were setting up everything to go to
    Nicaragua.

    That was when my opportunity to work aboard shows up, just as a happy dream in the
    middle of the night. My friend helped me to get my passport ready in order for me to travel
    with them to Nicaragua, I was excited, all things seemed to be almost ready.

    Unfortunately due legal process with Nicaragua's government and with the unexpected
    economical collapse that United States suffered in 2008 my friend and his family had to go
    back to the States and my opportunity left with them.

    Even though I lost that opportunity I learned many things from them. What I am sure of is
    that God has a perfect plan and if something does not go as supposed then something
    better in coming.
