Dear Good News Reader,
Have you had the opportunity to listen to the Good News
radio program? “The important news behind the headlines”
is the vital theme of this weekly, educational and engaging
facet of the work of the United Church of God, an International
Association.
Having first debuted on August 12, 2000, more than 50 programs
have since been recorded at the Church’s home office
radio studio in Cincinnati. The broadcasts, which cover an
extensive array of biblical, current-event and prophetic topics,
are expressly designed to convey the sparkling truth of God’s
Word to listeners across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Gary Petty, a former professional television and radio broadcaster
who now pastors the San Antonio, Texas, congregation of the
United Church of God, prepares and hosts each 27-minute program.
The programs, which often include one or two guests, cover
informative and enlightening topics in a vigorous, thought-provoking
and challenging style. Many guests are longtime ministers
who have authored booklets or articles in The Good News
or in World News and Prophecy, or who have specialized
biblical or secular knowledge on significant contemporary
issues and problems.
We recently added one new station to our radio log. Beginning
July 20, our program began airing on 20,000-watt, news/talk
WOOD 1300 AM in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our show, which airs
every Sunday at 7 a.m., immediately follows the popular Focus
on the Family program by Dr. James Dobson.
Our complete radio log is available on our Web site at www.ucg.org.
If you don’t live in an area where our broadcast is
heard, you can still listen to the programs online. We hope
you take the time to do so.
Also, we recently offered our latest booklet, The
Middle East in Bible Prophecy, to Good News readers.
Through the end of July, 26,637 subscribers have responded
to the offer, nearly exhausting the initial printing.
“This is the first time we’ve had to order a
booklet reprint in the same month in which it was first printed,
but that’s a nice problem to have!” Scott Ashley,
Good News and booklet managing editor reported.
“This is an important booklet that covers a lot of
biblical ground, and will really help people understand what’s
happening in the Middle East and where it’s leading,”
said Mr. Ashley. “Because the Middle East so constantly
grabs the headlines, I don’t doubt that this will be
one of our most popular booklets ever.”
If you haven’t had a chance to request this new booklet
yet, you can do so at www.ucg.org.
Sincerely,
Roy Holladay
President
United Church of God, an International Association
