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

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~

MoRe GoOdNeWs
MORE GOOD NEWS !!! PRAISE THE LORD for a case of Spanish BIBLES and two kinds of Spanish tracts. A generous Christian Foundation sent us $3000... allowing us to continue to
"... Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15
THREE otr truck drivers, Carl, Ruben, and Tarrence, have prayed for salvation since 9/6/2008, PTL!!!
TO ALL BORN AGAIN, BIBLE BELIEVING, CHRISTIANS --- ACTS 11:26...
Num. 31:26-27 sets forth the principle that those behind scenes and those
on the front lines receive equal reward!
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
Phil 4:17 kjv
Every penny of the $3000 has been invested in SOULS - TO HELP THEM
GET TO
HEAVEN ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. HALLELEUIA!!!
Here is a picture of the CD's we pass out to truckers at the different truck stops, because of the money received we were able to invest in a CD duplicator, 7-1 and lots of cd's.

Hi You All...
Hope this finds you doing well.
Recently we sent out newsletters to individuals and foundations.
We're hoping to pay for BIBLES, CD's, etc. get gas to go to truck stops to help drivers
and others get to heaven according to the BIBLE.

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.
