Back2EdenLifestyle Center Panama Project
Donation protected
Blessings to all our Back2Eden friends, family and followers! Many of you have been on the journey with us as it pertains to the establishing our Back2Eden Lifestyle Center in Boquete, Panama. We have made a conscious effort to share our progress with you as we believe that God has been faithful in opening up the avenues for us to have this Lifestyle Center. We have also received inquiries from many as to what our project is all about and how you may be able to aid us with it. This Go Fund Me Campaign is created to give you all the recent updates, share with you our goals and also request your support for us to continue the progress of this project in Panama.
Our Goals
These goals are twofold
1. To promote physical and spiritual health through the upholding of biblical principles as found in the word of God. Back2Eden has a practical approach whereby we aren’t only speaking to others about healthy lifestyle but allowing them to experience it at our center. Our goal is to host lifestyle guest who will be able to receive practical lifestyle training, cooking & baking classes, medical missionary training, agriculture training, relationship counseling and bible education.
2. It is our objective to do agriculture on the Back2Edenlifestyle center property in Boquete, Panama whereby we would grow organic produce and dedicate a portion of this produce[i] to aid the less fortunate and those who have been struck by natural disasters. The Back2Eden family has strong ties to the Caribbean and has personally experienced the aftermath of a natural disaster in the like of hurricane Irma. For this reason, we have established that our relief work would include hurricane and natural disaster relief in and around the Caribbean. This relief work entails growing organic produce that would be labelled and stock by Back2EdenLifestyle by using dehydration or the water bath and pressure canning method. This way we would be able to store food for a long period (5 to 10 years) without using ‘harmful or animal’ additives and preservatives yet still maintain the nutritional value we need from them.
What have we done thus far?
The Back2Eden family has moved forward in accomplishing as much as our own personal means could carry us as we are strongly convicted that God has called us to move into this direction. We also believe that God will do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. However, He does require us to take the first step in faith. Hence, we have put the following principal as found in James 2:17 into practice: “faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead”. With that in mind we have ventured out and were able to accomplish the following by the grace of God:
1. July 2017 visited properties in Panama;
2. December 2017 established Back2Eden entity in Panama;
3. Feb 2018 Back2EdenLifestyle purchased 16 hectares of property in Panama
4. June 2018 completed the registration of the property;
5. December 2018 hired architect to make Master plan for the entire property;
6. July 2019 master plan completed, environmental impact study completed, building permits requested, bridge design and road network plan completed;
The rainy season in Panama causes the tide to rise very high. For this reason a hydraulic study was done which considers the flow and the behavior of the river over the last 100 years. Based on this study and a special soil study the location and the type of bridge was chosen. Below you will find the architectural design of the 20x4.2 (meters) concrete and steel bridge. The bridge has 10 meters base (foundation) on both sides which totals to 40 linear meters.
7. August 2019 clearing the boarders and planting natural fence;
As you see by God’s grace we have been able to steadily make progress with this project. We have now come to a point wherein the property needs to be utilized for the purpose it was purchased and the plans that have been made can be executed in phases.
The next phase is to clear the rest of the front so we are able to complete the road network to the water stream. After this road network is completed our goal is to build the bridge that will connect the front of our property to the back.
How can you help?
Many of you have been asking and indicating that you would be willing to help. The time has come whereby we can truly use your help in financing some of the infrastructure for the property. We are requesting your help per phase so you are able to follow the progress as you make your donations.
The first financial aid we are requesting would be to start and complete the construction of the access bridge (one-vehicle traffic). The estimated total cost is €155.000,-. This phase will be executed in two sub phases; the first entails the clearing and preparing of the road /access area to the bridge, and has an estimated cost of €35.500,-. To complete this phase it would take up to 8 weeks. At the completion of this phase we will be selecting two donors who will receive an all-inclusive trip to the location of the center so that they are able to give everyone a live update of the progression of the work on site. In this way we would like to have each one of you personally involved in every step of this project.
The second sub-phase entails the actual construction of the 20 meters steel bridge, which has an estimated cost of €119.500,-. To complete this phase it would take up to 4 months. At the completion of this second sub-phase we will be selecting two new donors who will receive an all-inclusive trip to the location.
We hope and pray that you will prayerfully consider contributing to this project so that we are able to bless many through you!
