Tribal people called Wounaan, who live on a Panamanian island near the Colombian border, have been visited by a team of Logos Hope's volunteers, who shared their various cultures and unifying faith.

More than four decades ago, a pregnant young woman named Rosaura came to the mainland in Panama, knocking on doors in a neighbourhood occupied by North American residents and asking for help and food. Eventually she met a Christian couple who felt compelled to show compassion towards her. The couple welcomed her into their home, found her a job and shared the gospel with her.

The American woman who had welcomed Rosaura had the habit of spending many hours each day praying out loud in a language that she herself did not understand. It is when the two ladies started praying together, that they both realised this language was the dialect spoken in the Wounaan tribe, from which Rosaura had come. Thus began the indigenous young woman's grasp of the greatness of God.
