Missionary kids (MKs) Abby Slingerland and Joshua Lopez represented Panama in the national Independence Day parade November 3.

Abby, daughter of Bernie and Rhonda Slingerland, is a senior at Crossroads Christian Academy. She was selected to carry the Panamanian flag, an honor her older sister Hannah held two years ago.

Joshua, son of Edwin and Wendy Lopez, was a part of the drum line.

“It was an honor to participate in the parade and celebrate with all of Panama its independence,” Joshua said.
