September is the Month of the Bible in Panama. The Good News Church finished out the month long emphasis by hosting a "Festival de Musica". All songs were taken directly from the scriptures and arranged to original music. What a blessing to hear the Word of God sang as well as seeing many Christians use their talents in music and poetry for God.

First place in the trio division of the Music festival went to a group from the Good News FWB Church. Batherline, Stephany and missionary Steve Torrison were the members of the group. Lori Torrison was one of the judges.... now we know...!
