The Schmidt family lived and served alongside the Ngabe, an indigenous, marginalized and impoverished people in the Caribbean Island regions of Panama, for nearly four years. During their time there, they were blessed to gain the trust and friendship of many Ngabe. They worked to share the love of Jesus by improving the health, nutrition and economic standing of their friends. The Schmidt family now lives stateside but continues their work through the establishment and efforts of Grow Therefore, a 501c3 dedicated to improving the lives of their friends. You can learn more about their projects in agriculture, clean water access and cottage industry at
