LHI Newsletter: July-September 2019

Hello everyone!

We hope this letter finds you all well and enjoying the start of a new season. Here in Panama, rainy season is in full force which means slightly cooler temps but also less reliable electricity. We had a few weeks of issues with our electric but thankfully things have improved.


In July, we hosted a short-term team from my (Bethany) church in Atlanta. We had a wonderful time with the group, and they were able to help us extend the roof on our eating area of the dorm to stop flooding issues, screen in the eating area, install our backup generator and build houses for ducks to help fertilize pond demonstrations. The group of 6 adults did an excellent job on the projects and were a joy to host. Our kids absolutely loved them, and we appreciated the kindness extended to Annie and Ben through the group. When you host groups in your home with small children, you never know what to expect either from kids or the group. Thankfully it was a wonderful experience.

Over the last couple of months, we have continued to work on setting up demonstrations for the Auburn grant. We have had to deal with a number of issues in getting some of the simplest things found or installed, but we continue on and look forward to seeing the results of our hard work.

We will be hosting another group of Ngobe farmers next week on the farm.  They are coming to receive the additional training in the fish farming projects and Biblical training as well.  It is always exciting to see how God will work among these Ngobe men.   

Now for our most important update……As you have read in our past newsletters, Lasting Harvest has been dealing with a great deal of financial stress the past two years. Last year, funds came in at the end of the year because many of you responded to our newsletter expressing the need, which was a huge blessing.  However, this year the situation has grown even more problematic.  Funding has continued to be a major issue all year long to the point that the mission has had to incur a large debt to keep us here this year.  This has led our board and us to take a hard look at the facts. After much prayer and discussion, we (our family) has felt God leading us to return to the US, and our board is in agreement. As a mission you cannot continue to accumulate debt. That is not prudent and not being a good steward; therefore, we will be returning to the US at the end of October.  Our two fellow Ngobe workers, Fermin and Oracio, will continue to take care of the demonstration farm so that we can fulfill the commitments that we have already made here in Panama, and Corey will travel back to Panama as needed to fulfill those commitments.  Moving was never on our radar, but as we promised ourselves and others, we are in Panama until God leads elsewhere…and He now has. The finances have made that very clear. We don’t understand what is happening, but we are trying to follow God.  Our thinking is by us returning to the US, we can better deal with mission’s debt, keep the workers on the farm, and right our “financial ship.” Once we know more about the future of the farm and our own situation, we will be sure to update everyone; however, at this time we really need your prayers and your continued financial support. We need to be able to pay Fermin and Oracio, and we cannot pay them if funding stops. Also, as a mission we need to pay off the significant debt that we have built up trying to make it through this year.  We also need help moving back to the US, so please continue to send funds.  If or when this need changes we will let you all know.  For now, we do not know where we are moving to, as Corey does not have a job yet.  We just know that God is speaking, and we are trying to trust and obey even though at this point He seems to be asking us to take a big step into the unknown.   


We appreciate all of you and your continued support of Lasting Harvest. We do not know or understand everything the Lord is doing, but we know this, He is faithful and His plans are best. Please do keep us in your prayers. Moving Stateside is moving “cross-culturally” for us. We both have not lived in the US for more than just a few years since college, and needless to say things have changed a good bit since then. Pray also that Annie and Ben transition well. Annie is leaving the only home she has ever known and although she is happy about the news, she keeps asking about the places, people, and things she is leaving behind.


Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support of Lasting Harvest. If you would like to give to LHI, please make checks payable to Lasting Harvest International and send the check to 45 NE HWY E, Warrensburg, MO 64093. You can also give online at www.lastingharvestinternational.com. Again, your donations and prayers are greatly appreciated at this time. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to serve the Lord and follow His leading for the work here in Panama.

LHI Newsletter: February - March 2019

We hope this newsletter finds you all well and hopefully enjoying the beginnings of spring. Here in Panama we have had some days of 102F before noon. We are coming to the end of summer here in Panama, but the heat is not letting up any time soon. Since we spent most of January in Missouri, and then Georgia in February and part of March, we experienced a good bit of cold, so the heat and sun was a welcomed change.

First, we want to thank all of you who gave so generously to help us through the major budget short-fall at the end of 2018.  Not only did your donations keep us afloat, but it was a huge encouragement to us personally.  We are still operating with monthly pledges well below what is needed to keep the mission going; however, we are trusting God for His will about the monthly short-fall.

In February, we began the trek to Georgia and spent some time in Alabama. We were able to visit two supporting churches in Alabama and reconnect with supporters. It was so good to see many people we have not seen in a while and update people on the recent happenings in Panama. Later that month, we took part in my (Bethany) home church’s week-long missions festival. It was a wonderful time of catching up with other fellow missionaries and supporters at the church, and receiving some spiritual renewal. Sadly, I lost my voice for part of the week, but God restored it just in time for me to speak at the Women’s Missions Tea later that week.

During our time in the States, we were also working on collecting various items being stored for us in Missouri, Alabama, and Georgia to ship to Panama. We were given donations to help outfit our dorm in Panama, and through buying used items in the US and then shipping them to Panama, we were able to find good quality items for a fraction of the price it would cost to buy them locally. We also purchased a shipping container that would be filled and then driven to Florida to be shipped. We had so many people come together to help us fix, clean, store, and load items, and it truly was such an encouragement and blessing to us all. If you were a part of this adventure, we thank you again for all your help. We could not have done it without you.

After the container was finally filled in Atlanta, Corey and his parents began the long drive to Miami. During the first part of their trip, the container started to lose control due to its weight and almost flipped both the container and the truck towing it. Thankfully God protected everyone, and helped Corey get control of the vehicle which was able to come to a safe stop. They were able to fix some of the issues but had to then drive the whole rig at only 45mph; however, with this speed, they would not make Miami in time to put the container on a boat and Corey get back to Atlanta to fly out with the rest of the family. Amazingly, God worked out some last-minute details and got the container to a shipping location, and Corey back to Atlanta for his flight. We are now trying to get logistics figured out on this end to receive the container. Please pray for us as we deal with immigration, customs, and getting the container from one side of the country to us on the other side.

We returned to the Panama on March 12, and since then, we have been readjusting to being home after being away for a few months. As much as we loved seeing family and friends, and visiting churches, it is good to be home and back in our normal routine. One huge blessing for us personally happened since getting back home here in Panama.  We have hot water!  In the 15 or so years of ministering in Latin America we have never lived anywhere with hot water in the shower. We did have a few “widow makers,” one of which started an electrical fire in the shower with Corey and another gave him and electric shock while showering, but now we have an on-demand gas water heater and hot showers!!!  

We are now looking ahead to what this year holds for us in Panama: visitors, Auburn grant, short term teams, farm development, and training programs. Please continue to keep us in your prayers that we prioritize our time the way God directs and not just in what we hope to accomplish. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support and we look forward to keeping you posted on what God is doing through Lasting Harvest in Panama.

LHI Newsletter: January 2019

Happy New Year from all of us at Lasting Harvest!

We hope your new year is off to a wonderful start. 2018 ended for us quite differently than we expected. Our plan was to stay in Panama until February and then return to the US for our support raising trip; however, it was not to be. As we mentioned in our last email, Corey had hurt his shoulder and we were trying to assess the damage. After getting very different opinions from two doctors in Panama, we decided to return to the US right before Christmas for a third opinion. Even before landing in the US, we made an appointment for Corey’s shoulder and were told we would not be able to get one until the middle of January. We were frustrated, but were also thankful we could get an appointment and hopefully figure out the issue. After we met with the doctor on the 14^th, we were happy to find that Corey’s shoulder did not need surgery and that he would just need physical therapy to help heal his shoulder. After a few visits, Corey’s shoulder is greatly improved.

Along with dealing with Corey’s shoulder, we have been able to begin our support raising trip by reconnecting with supporting churches and individual supporters. With a support drop in 2018, and about to begin a new year, we have been worried about how we would be able to continue doing ministry with minimal funds. However, God is always good and His timing perfect, and we have received enough unexpected support to help us pay our bills at the end of 2018. It has been such a blessing to see how old friends and new have helped to bridge the gap and have allowed God to spur their generosity to help us finish 2018. 

Currently we continuing to reconnect with supporters and network to make the most of our time in Missouri. We were blessed to have a congregant at one church put together an informational video for Lasting Harvest, which you can access on our Facebook page. Just search for Lasting Harvest International, and scroll down our wall to find the video we posted in January. In February, we will be continuing our support raising trip through the Southeast. Below is a list of the dates and places we will be visiting:

- Sunday, February 3- Sedalia, MO at Parkview Christian Church at 9:40am (Corey speaking in Sunday school).

- Sunday, February 10- Demopolis, AL at First Christian Church at 9:45am (Corey speaking in Sunday school).

- Sunday, February 17- Lanett, AL at Spring Road Christian Church (Sunday morning services)

- Sunday, February 24- Atlanta, GA at Mount Paran Church (Sunday morning services)

- Wednesday, February 27- Atlanta, GA at Mount Paran Church (Wednesday evening)

- Saturday, March 2- Atlanta, GA at Mount Parach Church (Bethany speaking at Women’s Breakfast)

- Sunday, March 3- Atlanta, GA at Mount Paran Church (Sunday morning services)

For frequent updates and details/times of speaking engagements, you can visit our Facebook page. We appreciate all of your prayers and support more than we know how to express and how you have all partnered with us and God to help us through 2018, and we request your prayers and continued support for 2019.  If you would like to give to LHI, please make checks payable to Lasting Harvest International and send the check to 45 NE HWY E, Warrensburg, MO 64093. You can also give online at www.lastingharvestinternational.com. We look forward to reconnecting with many of you. Please feel free to email us if you would like to meet with us during our time in the US.

LHI Newsletter: October - December 2018

Greetings from Panama!

It is amazing to think that in just a few weeks we will be welcoming in 2019. The end of this year has been shaping up to be a quite interesting one for us at Lasting Harvest. God has provided for us in some amazing ways both in ministry and our family. Financial stress continues, but God has provided for us through many generous donations these past few months. These donations have helped us keep paying the bills and maintaining the demonstration farm. To all of you who gave or prayed for our finances these past few months, we cannot thank you enough. We received so much encouragement from your generosity.

Since our last newsletter, we have welcomed the newest member into our family. Our little boy Benjamin Jeremiah was born on October 8 at 8.25 pounds and arriving a week before his due date via cesarean. Little Benjamin had some issues with clearing liquid out of his lungs post birth, but thankfully he recovered quickly and the next day Corey and I were able to hold him and have him in the room with us. Corey’s parents were able to come to Panama to help watch Annie while we were in the hospital. This was a huge blessing and helped relieve a lot of stress for us knowing our daughter was happily playing with family. We had also found out a week before Ben’s arrival that our doctor would be in Germany when our son was due to arrive. One of the main comforts about the decision to stay in Panama for his delivery was our doctor, but God provided and our new doctor gave us an equally good experience.

A couple of weeks after Benjamin’s birth, Corey flew to the capital (Panama City) to start the process of changing our little man’s last name to only one name.  In Panama, like many Latin American countries, a child receives both his mother and father’s last names. The problem is I, like many US women, took Corey’s last name when we married so we only have one last name to give our children as is the culture in the U.S. but here in Panama that causes some problems. We had to register Ben having two last names, Courtwright Courtwright, which can cause some confusion both in Panama and the US. The process to get this name change is a quite lengthy one, which involves a lot of trips to the capital and pestering government officials to do the paperwork in a relatively timely manner. Upon speaking with the officials in the capital, Corey learned that the process had changed again and that David (the city near us) had given us the wrong information; therefore complicating the process. We were very frustrated, but kept visiting government offices to hurry along the process and made a US embassy appointment in Panama City for the day Corey’s parents left for the US. We knew that it was a long shot that any of the paperwork would be ready on time, but when we got to Panama City, some very kind officials were willing to help us push the process through. The Panamanian officials said they would try to have everything done by our US embassy appointment, but they could not promise anything as the paperwork had to pass MANY steps and finally be signed by an official three positions under the nation’s president. Multiple visits later, and through the kindness and grace of Panamanian officials, we had all of our son’s paperwork in hand within two minutes of needing to leave the Panamanian government offices to drive to the US embassy. We made it to the embassy just in time to apply for Ben’s US passport. God was so good in this process. This is something that can take many months or even years to get fixed, and God made it happen in 2.5 months and just minutes before our US appointment. We still marvel at God’s provision.

In the midst of this crazy time of changing Ben’s name, Corey ended up hurting his shoulder. He has now been to an orthopedist here in Panama, and the MRI shows tears and damage to several ligaments.  We are in the process of deciding the best treatment options and how long healing will take.  Please pray for wisdom in this process as we look at the possibilities of changing our travel plans if Ben’s passport comes through soon.

These past few months God has provided for us in ways we couldn’t imagine. Through our son’s birth and paperwork, Corey’s shoulder having less pain than one would imagine, and the provision for LHI expenses, God has shown himself to be the one who truly provides and that His timing is perfect. Our son’s name “Jeremiah” means Jehovah provides. How wonderful to see this playing out in his precious little life even from birth. These last couple of months have truly been a reminder of God’s goodness in our lives, and we are truly thankful this Christmas season for these wonderful characteristics of our Savior.

Work on the farm continues slowly, mostly looking for projects that need labor and not materials, since LHI still does not have the funds to continue to develop the farm or to conduct Ngobe training programs.  Due to all of your generous extra donations, we have been able to pay the bills these past few months; however our funding is still very low with some very big expenses coming in the next few months.  As we finish this year and look ahead to next year, we still are in need of substantial funds to keep the ministry afloat. As we have seen these past couple of months, God will provide in one way or another, but we need your help to make this possible. This has been a year of financial struggles for the mission, and it has been a major point of stress for us as missionaries. We will be honest with you, it has really burdened and frustrated us as we have been serving this year in Panama, and yet to see old friends from around the world give to participate in what God is doing here in Panama has encouraged us more than we know how to express.  

Please prayerfully consider giving to us this Christmas season and helping us spread the Gospel among the people of Panama in Word and deed. If you would like to make a donation please make checks payable to Lasting Harvest International, and send checks to 45 NE E Hwy, Warrensburg, MO 64093, or visit our website to donate via PayPal. Please remember that when donating via PayPal, they do take a small service charge. We are also looking for new churches and people to partner with LHI, as we are trying to expand our support base. If someone you know would be interested in having us speak in their small group or church, please contact us via our email at lastingharvest@gmail.com. We hope you all have a very blessed Christmas season celebrating our Savior. May God bless you all abundantly in the new year.

LHI Newsletter: June - September 2018

Greetings from Panama!

We hope this letter finds you all well and enjoying the start to a new season. Here in Panama we have been “enjoying” rainy season since May and will continue with this type of weather until “summer” begins in December. This year seems to have been a truer rainy season, whereas my (Bethany) past 4 years here has not been the norm. I personally prefer all the beautiful sunshine, but the rainy days bring cooler temperatures like 74F where we live, and that is a blessing.

This has been an interesting year thus far to say the least. Financial support has been very low this year, which has added a great deal of stress and has put us in a position of having to slow (and at times stop) development on the farm, as well as projects in the mountains, to keep costs in check. After our last newsletter it was very encouraging to see old friends send unexpected gifts that really helped us through some unplanned truck repairs and other expenses.  However, as we look ahead to the end of the year, yes, even in September, we see a number of large bills coming due for Lasting Harvest and right now the finances are not there to pay them. Every missionary has those seasons of support loss or lack, and God is faithful and will provide; however, we need your support, whether financially or through prayer. We have our land payment we must pay or we will lose the property. We have insurance to be paid, farm upkeep, materials for training programs, worker pay, etc. that must all be paid. We like to be open and honest with our supporters, so we are bringing this need to you and pray that God moves in your hearts to answer in whatever way He leads you.

We are also about a month from welcoming a new little one into our family. Due to baby Courtwright’s arrival being in the fall, we will not be back in the US until the end of February for our yearly support raising trip. With our low funding, this does not help our already anxious hearts, so please pray for God’s provision for us. We will be spending the rest of the year developing some of the farm, adjusting to our new addition to the family, and trying to get all of baby Courtwright’s papers in order (both for Panama and the U.S.), so we can travel in February. Please pray for this for it is quite a process and will involve a number of long trips to Panama City (the capital) to deal with getting these documents processed.

In other news, we are happy to announce that we have been given a grant for research work on the farm, and in the Comarca, from a development fund administered by Auburn University. This is a huge blessing because it provides funding for some equipment on the farm, and the research will help further knowledge of fish production methods at high altitudes here in Panama. We are very excited about this wonderful opportunity and look forward to sharing with you as the research unfolds. The funds from the grant will not be available to buy equipment for the farm or to begin the research until next year Therefore, We will be conducting research from 2019 until 2020.

As I mentioned above, farm development has slowed due to finances; however, we have found some other ways to creatively continue development. One of the biggest developments has been terraces on one of our many mountainsides. Fermin and Oracio, our fellow co-labors on the farm, have done some hard work hand digging terraces that will serve as an example for those around the world who live in impoverished, mountainous regions. This project was very time consuming, but has yielded some excellent results.

Please also be praying for me (Bethany) as I will most likely be undergoing another cesarean delivery with our little guy. The recovery is long and will be harder with a little toddler involved. We are however so incredibly thankful to have Corey’s parents coming to Panama to help take care of us all, but specifically Annie, during my hospital stay. Please pray for things to go well with Annie as we add a new little one. She is very excited to be welcoming her new brother into the family soon.

We so appreciate all of your prayers and financial support. We have really had a lot of people step up and help us out with a number of projects this year, and we are so grateful for their sacrificial service. If the Lord is leading you to give financially to LHI, you can make checks payable to Lasting Harvest International, and send checks to 45 NE E Hwy, Warrensburg, MO 64093, or visit our website to donate via PayPal. Please remember that when donating via PayPal, they do take a small service charge. Please remember that giving to LHI provides an opportunity for you to impact the people of Panama, as well as, those who come from other ministries to train on the demonstration farm. Our goal is to glorify the Lord and serve people as we make His name known among the nations.

2017 is here!

Greetings from Panama everyone! The last few months have been a whirlwind of activity with one short term team, a missions festival, hiring a new worker, and lots of progress made on farm development. We are excited to share with you all that God has been doing so far in 2017.

After our return to Panama at the end of December, we immediately began to prepare for the Missouri State University’s Christian Campus House group. This was our first time hosting a group from MSU, and we had a wonderful time. The group worked on sealing one of the ponds on the farm, which is a quite tedious task. They made significant progress on the pond and also led a one day VBS in the Comarca with the Ngobe. This group was such a joy to host and a real encouragement for us as missionaries. It is good to see young people wanting to take part in missions and an organization like the Christian Campus House, who is helping mentor and encourage these students to follow Jesus. A special thanks to all of you who have been a part of campus ministry on our university campuses in the US. You are making a huge difference in young people’s lives.

At the end of February, we traveled to Atlanta to be a part of a week- long mission’s festival at my (Bethany) home church in Atlanta. This is a wonderful time to reconnect with people at Mount Paran, spend time with fellow missionaries, and meet new contacts through the home visits each missionary has during the week. One of our home visits was hosted by my former high school teacher, Mrs. Crosby, and it truly meant a great deal to me for her to set up a nice meal for us to meet other people from Mount Paran interested in what we do through LHI in Panama. We were also able to speak with some of our friends who are recently retired from the mission field and get some good advice and encouragement. At the end of the week, we continued our travels to Alabama, and spoke at Spring Road Christian Church where Corey and I attended church our first year of marriage. We were able to reconnect with the leadership of the church, as well as, friends, and share what God has been doing in Panama recently.

The development of the farm continues as time and money allow.  In January, we harvested a few trout grown in a pond that was formed by damming one of our spring branches.  The trout were just a trial to see how well they would grow because the water is warmer than one should really consider for growing trout.  However, the trout grew at an acceptable rate, and we plan to restock soon, now that the rainy season has returned.  The emphasis of the fish production on the farm will still be tilapia, but having a spring cold enough for trout gives us a wider range of applicability in varying altitudes and regions of the world. 

Over the last few months, we have been doing a chicken breed trial.  It is hard to pin down exactly what breeds of chickens are available, so we have 4 different groups that we are growing out to look at meat production, egg production, and feed conversion in each variety.  We continue to use the greenhouse (far roof visible in the picture above) to test and trial different crops and varieties of crops, and thankfully, the plastic roof has made it through the windy dry season with only limited damage. 

In February, we were blessed to hire a second full time worker on the farm.  This was necessary as just taking care of the plants, animals, and keeping the weeds chopped down is at least a full-time job.  Having the second employee allows us to keep the maintenance jobs happening and have time to slowly develop new demonstrations as money allows.  Continuing to develop the farm, as well as, finishing the dorms is critical right now as we have training groups of both Ngobe and international trainees that are planning to arrive at the farm in the coming months, and we still have a lot to do to prepare for them.

We have accomplished a lot so far this year thanks to your generous donations to LHI. However, with the monthly land payment, farm development, and needing to complete our dorm and classroom for use with the upcoming training programs, we are in need of additional financial support. Please consider donating to help us finish the dorms and continue to develop the demonstrations on the farm in order to house and teach those that are anxiously wanting to come and learn on the farm.  If you feel the Lord is leading you to donate to the ministry of LHI, please make checks payable to Lasting Harvest International, and send checks to 45 NE E Hwy, Warrensburg, MO 64093, or visit our website to donate via PayPal. Please remember that when donating via PayPal, they do take a small service charge. Thank you for being our partners in serving the people of Panama.

August 15' Newsletter

Greetings from Panama! We hope this newsletter finds you all well and enjoying the last bit of summer. As you know, Corey and I arrived in Panama after our trip to the US for Corey’s surgery at the end of July. Since then, we have continued developing the farm, as well as, hosting a group from Parkview Christian Church and Northside Christian Church in Missouri. The group came to work on the dorms that will house students, missionaries, or Ngobe that will be training on the farm.  This is a huge blessing because both the manpower for the construction and funds were desperately needed. The group spent the next week working on the exterior walls of the dorm. In addition to the dorm, the group also continued work on animal pens that will be used to house rabbits, or possibly quail for the small animal projects. The whole group did a wonderful job on the construction work. 

They also had the opportunity to visit with a local Ngobe pastor in the Comarca, or Indian reservation area, that LHI has worked with for over a decade. Corey and Matthew drove the group through the area showing them some of the poverty and need for such aquaculture/agricultural projects that are offered by LHI. It is hard to truly explain the poverty of the Ngobe without some hands-on experience, and the life of the Ngobe is quite different from that of the Latins. Through the LHI demonstration farm, we will be able to bring in the Ngobe for training both in the classroom and through the first-hand experience of working on a farm. By addressing the physical needs of the people, we will then have an opportunity share Christ with them and if the indigenous that come are Christians, then we are able to help our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ better provide for their families and their community. And, it is because of short term teams like this one, that we are finally getting to a place where we can house people on the farm. Their hard work will be leaving a lasting impact for years to come. That is why we love having groups come to Panama. Not only are their lives changed by the experience, but they are also changing the lives of the people here in Panama for years to come.

UTV fundraiser

As our August is coming to an end, we want to thank everyone who has given to the matching challenge and helped us raise over the amount we needed for the UTV!  We are in the process of getting the UTV, and we look forward to having it to accomplish work on the farm. This is a huge blessing for LHI, and we are so grateful for everyone’s generosity and the Lord’s provision.

Other News

We continue with the dorm construction and planting various plant projects. We also are continuing the finishing touches on many of the animal pens. It is also during this time of year, that we begin to plan our time in the US for support raising and recruiting. Once we have a better idea of our schedule, we will be sending that out in a newsletter in hopefully September. Please keep us in your prayers as we plan our time in the States.

In September, we will be welcoming a team from my (Bethany) home church in Atlanta this September. The group was canceled in July due to Corey’s back surgery, so we thank the Lord for working out the details for the group to reschedule and continue helping us with dorm and farm development. Please keep us in your prayers as we also prepare for this next group.

We also are excited to announce the new logo for Lasting Harvest. As you can see below, we have updated our logo and this is now the logo you can look for when you want to identify LHI. We are sad to see the old logo go, but are happy to have a logo personally and uniquely designed for Lasting Harvest.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support. We really appreciate all the encouraging emails we receive, the prayers, and the financial gifts. God is working to do a wonderful expansion here in Panama, and we are excited to be parting with you to make this a reality. For frequent updates on life and work here in Panama, check out our Facebook page.
