Heartbeat

Anthony and Lizzette Owens are pioneering Free Methodist work in Panama. Anthony was born in Panama and ordained in the Free Methodist Church in Florida, where he planted and served in various church settings. In 2024, he and Lizzette took a step of faith, returning to his native Panama where they now serve as international missionaries, answering the call to expand the Kingdom and establish the Free Methodist Church there. Since they arrived in Panama, a strong and thriving house of peace (house church) has been established and is already seeing fruitfulness. Their short-term focus is on sharing the good news and discipling new believers. Eventually, they hope to establish a network of transformational house churches and established congregations.

Susan and Brook Selby are excited to follow Jesus’ lead in pioneering a church-planting and multiplication movement in Panama, working alongside Antony and Lizette Owens. As a gifted leader and administrator, Susan enjoys creating systems and structures to disciple people into more peaceful, trusting and God-honoring ways of doing relationships. An ordained elder in the FM Church, Brook raises disciples and leaders, helping them identify what God is doing in their lives while assisting them in taking the next steps of faith in following Jesus toward advancing the Kingdom.
