Happy St. Patrick's Day to all you Irish lads and lasses!!! Hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather God has blessed us all with today. Could not be any better, sunny and in the 70's!!!
Ministry wise there has not been much going on. It's been a long winter and not so snowy as the last couple of years, but tolerable. We have not gone down to the Plainview truck stop for a couple of years now as our cars are one by one dying on us. The car we drive now just stays in the Appleton area as it needs $1000 worth of work. So our hands have been tied, literally.
Our only truck stop that we tend to is the one in Forest Junction. Still putting out bibles, tracts and CD's. JP still talks to a few truckers on a weekly basis, but not as much. Our Pastor is a truck driver, so JP talks to him every other day or so. So Good News Ministries is still alive and well, but very so quietly doing the work behind the scenes.
You all have a great day in the Lord and keep looking up for your redemption draweth nigh!
JP and Louise

September Newsletter
"Life is hard but God is Good!!!" Just heard that song last night. All the words were my exact feelings on everything. Shall have to find it.http://youtu.be/FXsDfZUgyd4 Here it is, go take a listen.
So what has been going on with Good News Ministries you might ask? MMMMMMM good question. We are only at one truck stop now. Both our cars are disabled in many ways, too many things wrong with them to take them out of town. Plus gas is a problem and I guess the ecconomy has disabled alot of donors also. So Good News sits waiting for God's leading, of which we do not know where he is leading. Life is Hard but God is Good!
JP goes out on Saturdays to the church instead of truck stops and does cleaning and landscaping. Then the pastor (who is a truck driver himself) takes JP out for a hamberger and puts gas in the car for him to get to church. don't know who is getting blessed, JP or Ron.
We still put out tracts and CD's but not as many as we used to. We were able to buy a case of Bibles with a donation, but the bibles are almost gone. That's a good thing.....right?
Mark, Shane and Joshua, all truck drivers still call JP every now and then to gab. Mark just got married and hauls sod in TX. Joshua moved from TX to KY, his wife is doing much better. Shane lives in ME and travels cross country every month. I see Shane on Facebook so I can keep up with him. I guess we are still doing truck ministry, but not in the same ways we used to. Good News Ministries has taken wings and is flying in a different direction.
Onward and upward......Life is hard, but God is Good!!!
Here, there or in the air!

How to get to Heaven according to the BIBLE!
The Good News is that getting to Heaven is a FREE Gift from God...
It is as simple as A-B-C...
A- Admit you're a sinner
For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God. Romans 3:23
B- Believe Jesus Christ died for your sins
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever
believes in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life. John 3:16
C- Confess with your mouth
That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart
that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
Pray a little prayer from the heart something like this:
Heavenly Father I admit I'm a sinner, I believe, Jesus died for my sins,
and died on the cross for me, and rose the third day and is seated at the
right hand of God in heaven.
IN JESUS NAME. Amen

Good News Ministries
Good News Ministries began 12 years ago. JP had a vision and a goal to minister to truck drivers on the road. As he was a truck driver also, there was a special kinship to the trucker.
Over the years this ministry has changed and grown in different ways and many people have helped in many different ways and needs. Today JP ministers a lot on the cell phone and going to about 3-7 truck stops every month depending of the availablity of gas which seems to go up in a heartbeat. Desiel fuel now sits at $4.57. Pretty soon truckers will pull over and then this country will be in a bigger mess, with no food on the shelves. Do we really realize how much the trucker does for us? I think not.
There is much to tell about this ministry, that can't be said in one or two paragraphs, so this blog will be an on-going, week by week talk on the blog. I will be teaching JP how to do his on posts, and you will be hearing more from him, then I, his wife Louise.
One of the things this ministry does is, we put out lots of bibles, tapes, tracts and since last July CD's. We have mostly put out the testimony of Tom Papania "Mafia to Ministry" an awesome testimony about how he got out of the mafia, and is now ministering around in prisons.
Well, I will cut this part of the blog short and let JP get his words in about the ministry that God gave him.............stay tuned.
