A Whole Year Has Passed......What's New?

Greetings in the The Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. How have you all been doing this past year. I am sure many changes have taken place for you and for us at Good News Ministries. Which is good in some ways, yet sad to see in other ways. We still minister to a few truck drivers and still are in contact with a few others. They have continued the ministry by giving out their own CD's and tracts....so the ministry still goes out, but in different directions. Jesus is still preached in the highways and byways by those who have been touched through this ministry in some way. One thing satan can not do, is stop what God has started. What God starts no man can end. We still continue on like an old work horse, plodding along and getting the fields plowed. Race horses come and go but never reach the finished line, they have pooped out before the race is won. So like the old work horse, we still pass out a few CD's, Bibles and tracts at the Forest Junction truck stop. The pastor (who is a truck driver) at the church we go to, passes out CD's and tracts and ministers to many people on the road and off the road. JP meets up with him on Saturday's, to clean the church and practice on the piano and accordion. Then they go for a hamburger and fries. We did get a donation of $50 at the end of the year and were able to get 42 King James Version Bibles. Someone was leaving Bibles at the same truck stop, leaving them on the stand when we had no Bibles to give. God's perfect timing, I would say.

Well, as you can see, the word still goes out and God is still working in the little hamelets of Forest Junction. We work with what we have. I am sure the Deciples did not have a lot to work with but they still went out and preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified and many souls were touched and saved. God can do more in a few seconds then we can in a life time. That is something to remember, it's not us that are doing the work....it's God through us that the work gets done. Keep looking up for your redemption draws nigh, JP and Louise

Greetings in 2012

Choice Christian greetings to you all in this New Year 2012. Hope things are well with you and your families.

Good News Ministries is still ministering in the small and obsolite places. Guess that is good. One donation came in towards the end of 2011. $200. We were able to buy a case of KJV Bibles, some tracts and pay the cell phone bill and tithe. Here are a few pictures of the tracts.

When JP first started passing out tracts, calendars were the main tool. Every person he handed a calendar to were open to receiving them. He had no problem dispersing them, everyone needed a calendar...........hard to know how many lives were touched by that simple calendar.

The above picture shows the calendar and a Santa Claus tract, ready for use next Christmas to pass out.
The above tract says, Jesus said, "I am the bread of life. Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation! For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ." John 6:35, 11:26 Heb.2:3, 2 Cor. 5:10. Some pretty powerful scriptures that will cause a person to think, where will they spend eternity?

A few truck drivers still call every now and then to talk to JP. A local truck driver calls every other day about. Which is one reason why we still hold on to our "dinosoar cell phone." So you see, Good News Ministries is still plodding along, never swaying to the right or the left like an old work horse. Getting the job done and plowing up the fields and planting seeds. God will water the ground and seeds when the rain is needed. The plants will grow, we may never see the growth, but God sees it all and that is all that counts. Better HE sees the growth and not us.....our helmets may not fit our heads.....lol!

Time to close this blog, I will try to do at least one or two blogs a month, Lord willing. You have a great day and keep looking up for your redemption drawth nigh.

Hello Everyone,

Good News Ministries, Inc was founded 16 years ago. We've gone to lots of truck stops, gave out lots of tracts, tapes, cd's and bibles (much to numerous to count). We've seen alot of truckers saved and many not so saved. We've traveled alot of miles and seen alot of faces but the best part is knowing we were doing it for the Lord Jesus, serving Him the best we could with what we had to work with.

That hasen't changed, although the finances are just not there anymore, not since November has there been a donation. We are still working with what we have, although MAN says it is over, God has not given up on us or the truck driver. God still wants that all be saved and that includes the truck driver and his family. Romans 11:29 "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentence" (God will not change his mind about the calling)

We have not given up, nor have we stopped doing truck ministry. GNM has just taken another turn into unfamiliar territory, so we keep on keeping on, doing what we have been doing. Putting our hands to the plow and not turning back, looking forward, never straying to the right or to the left, but keeping our eyes fully on Jesus Christ and the finish line.

There are alot of truck ministries out on the road today, and many of the truckers have picked up the cd's from us or from others and duplicated them and are passing them out themselves. What better ministry is that, then to have a trucker ministering to another trucker??? Like a cowboy to cowboy or football player to a football player or poor person to a poor person or actor to actor....whatever the case. People listen to those who are like minded and understand where that person is coming from.

So the truck ministry still continues whether you desire it to continue or not.......it will continue because God is in it and God disires that ALL BE SAVED!!!!!

So ends my little "soapbox preach".........hope you all have a great day and remember when you see a truck driver, they have a soul too, and that soul is going to spend eternity someplace, whether it be heaven or hell. So have compassion for them........Jesus does.
