HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS
Romans 10:15
The original members of New Shoes Quartet, Deb & Rick Boehm, Harold Boettcher & Jeanne Tourek became acquainted in the Celebration of Life Choir, an interdenominational choir in the Council Bluffs/Omaha metro area in which Deb served as director and Rick, Jeanne & Harold sang.   Their love of Jesus and of Gospel music inspired them to take their ministry a step further by forming New Shoes. After 8 years of traveling the Midwest and singing God’s praises, Jeanne’s and Harold’s family and church commitments led them to step away from New Shoes.
 In 2017 Deb & Rick were joined by Marty & Norman Forman of Forman Ministries from Fulton, MO, to form the “new” New Shoes Quartet. Deb & Rick continue the ministry of New Shoes as a duet and as a quartet with The Formans when their schedules allow. They look forward with anticipation to the plans God has for them. As Norman says, “When you get New Shoes, you get 3 groups–1 quartet and 2 duets!

The Loynachans were established, formally, in 1998 and sing Southern and Contemporary Southern Gospel music. This trio has been spreading the good news of Jesus Christ as far as the Lord has lead them including churches, nursing homes, prisons, homeless shelters, picnics, ice cream socials and other venues in Alaska, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Tennessee & Wisconsin and would consider it a privilege to minister in all 50 states and beyond.
 Mark 16:15- And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." NIV
This southern gospel trio is truly a family group consisting of Jack (father), Judy (mother), Jamie (daughter) and even Cory (Jamie's husband) who travels as the groups full-time sound man.
Joshua 24:15- But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...but as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.

Sounds of Inspiration

    Members from left to right are:  Chris Wing - bass;  Chris Rose - Tenor;  Tom Anderson - Baritone;  Bob Galloway - Lead.  In the center playing piano is Dorinda Diehm.
    This new Quartet, at least to us here at the Panora Gospel Sunday Night, comes from the Newton Area and brings a great message of the Gospel in Song.  
    These are the present members, the group began ministering in 1973.  They travel around Iowa sharing their love for Jesus and gospel music.

WHO WOULD THINK A FAMILY from Minnesota Wisconsin(!) would love Southern Gospel music, much less share it with audiences across the country? And yet The Garms Family, hailing from Arkansaw, Wisconsin close to the land of 10,000 lakes and 20 million mosquitoes, is doing just that and enjoying every mile together. (Yes!  They have purchased and moved into the old Elementary School in Arkansaw, Wisconsin!!!)
     David and Kris Garms with six of their children — Ben, Taylor, Leesha, Sam, Jayme, and Caleb — count it a privilege to minister to fellow Christians and invite the seeking to believe in Jesus as their Savior.  Since their simple beginnings of singing hymns in the living room to the release of multiple CDs, The Garms Family has been blessed to sing at a variety of churches, festivals, and events. They travel full-time, sharing the Gospel through their beautiful harmonies and solid instrumentation. Their tours have brought them across over 20 states—and counting!
     This home schooled family loves to work as a team, and their joy as family overflows as they sing and play together. They weave Southern Gospel, gospel bluegrass, and their own unique musical style to create a memorable concert experience, and each song is an adventure as they play over 20 instruments on stage.
     The Garms Family carefully tries to balance professionalism and authenticity. Above all, their aim is to glorify Christ with one voice and encourage people to live the Word. Their smiles, gospel music, and the message of Jesus Christ will brighten your day, give you hope for tomorrow, and leave you inspired. You will blessed and encouraged, moved to laughter and tears, and your soul will be directed heavenward by this anointed family.
I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known  through all generations. Psalm 89:1
Our purpose is to fulfill Christ’s great commission by presenting His word through  song.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
Our prayer is that God is glorified by the songs we sing and that any who may not know Him prior to attending  one of our performances will leave with the soul-saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  John 14:6
HHQ members are committed to following God’s leading by spreading His Word through song as frequently  as He enables us to do so. We have appeared at church services, special church events, nursing homes, gospel  sings, community events, and private events.

Higher Power has been sharing their faith through their music and personal testimonies since 1996. God has been faithful to provide them with everything they have need to build their ministry into what it is today. Higher Power sings gospel, southern gospel, progressive gospel, and contemporary music in its concerts. A typical concert will be filled with music, ministry moments, testimonies, and reflection. Higher Power provides concerts for churches, community celebrations, and special concert events. The group has also provided concerts for two marriage enrichment seminars held in the Caribbean and has opened for the Gaither Homecoming Tour and many other professional gospel groups. This group is known for their high energy and humorous,  yet touching concerts, but their deepest desire is to show God's love, grace and forgiveness through the songs God has given them to sing to those who do not know Him, and to encourage those who do know Him to come to a closer relationship with Him.

The mission of Ambassadors of Grace is to give praise, honor and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ through the songs that we sing and the way we conduct ourselves in our daily lives. We consider it a blessing that the Lord desires to use us to accomplish His will and purpose in spreading His Gospel through song.
We have a three fold purpose when we sing in a concert:
     1. To present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are not believers.
     2. To encourage and uplift fellow Christians who may be going through trials and difficulties.
     3. To remind us all of the hope we have through the redemptive work of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

      We believe that many times songs, instead of the spoken word, will reach into the heart and soul of a person in a powerful way.  It’s our desire that the Holy Spirit work through us to minister to these people in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Liberty Belles are a music ministry of Liberty Baptist Church in Columbia, Missouri. They are honored and blessed to be allowed to share the gospel in song. The Belles first began singing together in 1997. The original group were all members of Liberty Baptist Church. Each loved to sing and were active in solo music ministry and in the church choir. The group came together as a trio. Jane Hayden, an original member of the group, resigned in November 2012, and in 2014 Christina Davis joined the group. In 2015 Judy felt that God had a new call for her life, so Dee and Christina are now prayerfully seeking a replacement member, if that is God's will for the group. Dee's Granddaughter, Hailey, has begun gracing the stage with the group on occasion.
The Belles have been “studying to prove themselves approved unto God” by attending the Steve Hurst School of Music Ministry since 2004 (when scheduling permits), and have been allowed to have instruction by some of the most recognized names in southern gospel, such as Joyce Martin, The Mark Trammell Quartet, The Talleys and the Browns! The Belles would love to sing for your church or special event and do not charge a booking fee, but gratefully appreciate a love gift that considers travel and other expenses.

The Formans

Norman: Norman has been performing Southern Gospel music since he was in 7th grade when he began singing in a quartet with his brothers, Ron, Glenn, and Todd.

 Norman and his brothers Ron and Todd began singing as a trio in 1989 and brother Glenn joined them in 1990 to re-form "The Forman Brothers Quartet." Along the way, Norman also joined his three brothers in becoming an ordained minister of the gospel. He continues to do revivals and fill the pulpit as a supply preacher whenever he is called. Norman's life verse is Philippians 4:4 with the belief that we wouldn't have time to worry about our needs if we placed the needs of others first in our lives.

Marty: I've been singing in church from my earliest memories. My first solo in church was on my 10th birthday when I sang, "It is No Secret", one of my mothers favorite songs.  So sharing the gospel through music has always been one of my greatest joys in life.
There is no one I would rather sing with than my best friend and the love of my life, my husband Norm. 

The bible verse most often on my mind now is II Chronicles 7:14 , If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Harbour Lights Gospel Quartet

Based out of the Winterset area, this Southern Gospel Quartet comes with a desire to present Jesus Christ through music.  You will be blessed as they share their hearts through testimony and song. 
Formerly known as the “Smith Family Quartet” only one of the Smiths are still singing -  LaDonna (Tenor/Lead).  Ben Turner a pastor from Lorimor, IA is singing lead, Glen Jones is singing Baritone and Gary Freeland a pastor from Panora, IA is singing bass.
They are always interested in spreading the word of God in song and words.  If you would like to schedule the ministry of Harbour Lights for your church or event please email Gary Freeland @ garygfree@netins.net.

CONTEMPORY CHRISTIAN MUSIC 

  STORIES OF  CHRISTIAN FAITH   

 PIANIST AND VOCALIST

Matt & Debbie met and were married in 2004.  In early 2005, they were at church and met a group that was looking for a tenor singer.  Matt, who has sang since he was 4, was excited for the opportunity.  He joined the group, Ambassadors of Grace, and sang with them off & on for a couple of years.  During this time, our first daughter, Ryleigh Jean, was born.  Trying to raise a baby, work and being in the group was stressful on the family--and the other members of the group were feeling the call to become a full time ministry--so Matt decided to step away from the group.  In June 2009, we added another daughter, Emmalee Jane, to our family.  After taking a little break from singing, we felt called in early 2011 to start our own ministry.  We had several engagements during 2011, so we purchased our sound equipment. God has blessed us since we have started this ministry and we are truly excited and looking forward to the future.  We can't wait to see what God has in store for us and how He is going use this ministry for His honor and glory as we continue to grow in Him.
Joshua 24:15...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord
