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. 
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.
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.
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,

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

- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

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 bel
ow)
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.
Please visit our blogspot, you will get a feel for what this ministry is all about, and would not be, had it not been for Jesus. so do visit and please leave a comment. Go to: http://www.goodnewsministriesinc.blogspot.com/
