Happy New Year - 2011!!!!

It has been quite a long while since we last posted in this blog. GNM is still chugging along at a VERY slow pace. As, "no ministry can run on fumes", we have found it very hard to continue the same way we were. There have been a few donations, but not many. Just enough to keep the PO box open, the cell phone going for the few truck drivers that do call, get some bibles and now the checking account, as they are wanting more money to keep it open.

Ministry-wise. 2010 has been a very bad year for donations. We still get a few bibles, tracts, and cd's out at Forest Junction every week. We have not made it to the Planeview truck stop probably since the first of September. Transportation down there has been nill as the '94 Century has many things wrong with it and is not safe to go out on the highways. Plus the ministry needs gas to get to these truck stops and that is not happening.

We still pass out tracts here and there, so all is not lost. Hopefully the new year will bring new areas of ministry.......only God knows that, we just have to find His will for this ministry, but maybe 2011 will bring that light at the end of the tunnel..........we can always hope!!!!

Until then see you next year ~JP and Louise~

A New Blog Facelift for Good News Ministries

We gave this blog a new facelift, JP likes blue because in the old testement blue was to remind the people of the commandments........so blue it is.

Here are a few pictures of the Planeview Truck Stop in OshKosh. These were taken a couple of months ago, when Louise went on truck ministry with JP. May 1st as a matter of fact, we went to the Annual African Violet Society Sale and then on to the Planeview Truck Stop.

JP is not allowed to go up to the truck or driver in the lot. But he can put out tracts, Bibles, and CD's in the drivers lounge. If he had a truck, there would be not problem with him going into the truck lot.

We are still putting out the From Mafia to Ministry CD's along with An Ex-Con's True Story, Buddy Farris and a few others which seem to be popular. We have also put out Romans, and John 1-10 and Psalms 117.

Another part of this ministry is to the Latinos. For them, JP gives "El Camino A Dios" one~on~one to the Mexican/Spanish people which are very open to receiving free CD's. I've not seen a CD or Bible be rejected or even heard JP say the spanish CD's and Bibles were rejected......so that is a good thing.

So you see, Good News Ministries, Inc. is still going strong. Finances are not going strong though, we can only go as far as the finances stretch and for now that is just to Osh Kosh and occasionally to Green Bay, which was the case this past Saturday. There were ALOT of detours and it took extra gas to get there and back. So that will be a once every couple of months trip.

If you would like to donate to this ministry you can send your donation to Good News Ministries, PO Box 2542, Appleton, WI 54912. You will receive a tax deductable receipt as we are a 501c3.

Well, you have a great day ~ "Go ye into the Highways and Hedges and compel them to come in"

~~~Still Working for the Lord~~~

It's been 10 months since Good News Ministries posted on this blog........where does the time go anyways???? We must be having a great time as the time is flying by leaps and bounds....getting closer to hearing the sound of that trumpet everyday. Even so, Come Lord Jesus!

Good News Ministries is still flourishing (if that is the right word for it) although the donations aren't. We still go to the Planeview Truck Stop on Saturdays with the help of Dave who gives $6 for that trip every week.

We did take a break for the month of February, well needed, although we did not go anywhere special and did still send bibles, CD's and tracts to a truck stop in Peshtigo. Every week a little truck stop in Forest Junction receives Bibles, CD's, tapes and tracts on our trips to Church at Mark 15:16 Ministries.

We still minister to 4-5 truck drivers weekly on our cell phone. Either they call or we call, a little refreshing for all concerned. Their calls will come from across the county and is always interesting to hear where they coming and going. Sometimes they ask for CD's and tracts to pass out on their travels across the country. The word of God getting into the highways and hedges of America. Only God can do the work, we are only his vessels. So we just keep on keeping on, no reason to quit.....Go ye out into all the world and PREACH the GOSPEL.

So as you can see, we are still getting the word out, not as much as we would like, for we can only do what we can do with what we have and are allowed to do with what donations that come in.

If you would like to donate to this ministry, it would be welcome. You can send your donation to: Good News Ministries - PO Box 2542 - Appleton, WI 54912

Thank you and have a great day in the Lord,
Good News Ministries,
