Newsy Letter for June

Greetings,

Hope You all are doing good...

We're keepin' on keepin' on for Jesus. Going to the truck stops week after week as God's circut riders!

Luke 14:23 says "and the Lord said unto the servant, Go out unto the HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES, AND COMPEL THEM TO COME IN, THAT MY HOUSE MAY BE FILLED."
Thanks to your help we have been able to carry out the GREAT COMMISSION so far.

You will be blessed...Now, he who plants and he who waters are one: and every man shall receive his own REWARD according to his own labors. 1 Cor. 3:8

1. BIBLES - Will you provide a brand new complete Bible to a driver for just $4? Thats 24 Bibles for 24 drivers for just $96...We'd like to put Bibles in the Drivers Lounges every Week.
2. SPANISH SALVATION CD'S - We want to produce a spanish salvation CD Master - production cost is $25 from Kingdom Tape... 100 CD Blanks and cases will cost about $45.
3. GAS to go to the truck stops. Round trip to all the truck stops would be about $100 a month.

Well, as you can see it is never ending. To carry on a ministry $$$ is needed. We can go through a case of bibles in a couple of weeks. CD's 6-10 in every truck stop which keeps the secretary busy making cds late into the night on Friday's so the circuit riders can go out on Saturdays.

Today, JP and Dave were only able to go to OshKosh to the Plainview as there was only $5 in the ministry checkbook and then Dave gave a $3 donation. When they were down there the truckers were watching TV and the newsman said that gas prices were expected to go up to $4 by summers end. Not good news for those who travel across these states in trucks transporting our food and clothes to us along with other needs to sustain us daily.

YOU all have a blessed day and keep your eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.

JP and Louise

What's Happening at GNM?

Nothing.............No money...........No ministry.

Perhaps our next posting will be more newsy. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come. Well, we will keep plugging along and work with what we have. God always comes through at the mid-night hour.

You all have a great day and keep on smiling. Not going to worry about the future, cause God is still on HIS throne!
JP

A New Year!

Following is our newletter for January 2009♥

Greetings in Jesus...Hope this finds you all doing well and ready for another good year should the Lord tarry.

A BIG THANK YOU to Faith Community Church in Waupaca for hosting Good News Ministries and especially to the "740 Men's Ministry" for breakfast and being able to give my testimony and tell about God's truck ministry based in Appleton, WI.

January 10th was a Hallelujah Day as we explained how we are able to pass out hundreds of Bibles and CD's. There was a genuine concern by the men and a generous offering was received. PTL! The case of Bibles ordered with monies from Waupaca just came today!!!

We are in the process of sending out more requests to Christian Foundations to receive monies to purchase up to 10 cases (240) Gift and Award Bibles, CD's and cases for duplication of various testimonies and music CD's, Bible studies, office supplies, postage and $$$ for gas to run the circuit of 5 truck stops covering 250 miles. One major expense is the car, that is needing constant repairs to keep going. Good News Ministries has worn out 4 used cars including this one! (See below) A 4-door '94 Century which we paid $750.00 2 years ago. We would like to get a van or larger car that gets GOOD gas mileage and is in good condition, as we can then take more people to church and carry more things to pass out when we have opportunity.

We also send Bibles, CD's and tracts to Peshtigo truck stop, plus a few other distributors and truckers in different parts of the country.

As we mentioned in our last newsletter the cell phone has been another avenue we use to minister to truckers on the road. Mark, Shane, Joshua and pastor Ron will either call or JP will call on his "free minutes" to minister to them, but usually they end up ministering to JP. The cell phone runs about $33.45 per month, a good investment.

A FEW TESTIMONIES........
1. Last week we put 4 Bibles in the Oshkosh, Planeview drivers lounge, went out to the car for CD's and by the time we got back to the drivers lounge a driver had already taken the plastic off and opened a Bible and was reading it. PTL!
2. A driver picked up a music CD and Buddy Farris CD at a truck stop in Green Bay, called wanting 12 of each CD to pass out as he drives cross country. He stopped by to pick them up and we were able to give him a few more CD's.
3. 100+ people have been led to the Lord Jesus since this ministry began 13 years ago.

We still constantly deal with rejection but the rejections are less and less as JP is finding more drivers are open to the Word and taking the Bibles, CD's and tracts. Never underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit, HE works in places we cannot see.
