Dear Friend,
I want to thank you for your ongoing interest
in and support of The Good News magazine. The
Good News continues to impact lives in many nations
around the world, and we are doing everything we can to reach
the hearts and minds of more people with the message of Jesus
Christ's true gospel. We pray that what you are reading
and learning is providing vital understanding, hope, wisdom
and encouragement.
Some might consider August a slow news
month, but not here! In the coming months we plan to mount
a vigorous advertising campaign to further spread the Word
of God. For example, our new booklet, Marriage
and Family: The Missing Dimension (see
photo below) will be featured in a subscription brochure
titled, "Are
You Prepared to Teach Values?" (see photo below), which
will be mailed six times beginning in September to 3.3 million
subscribers of American Baby magazine. Most of these
readers are new mothers who have a strong sense of parental
responsibility, and we can think of no better basis for child
development than the truths in the Bible.
In October we plan to distribute
nearly a half million copies of subscription brochures in
over 4,500 "Good Neighbor" displays
that are placed in prominent entrance and exit areas of major
supermarkets and discount stores across the United States.
These new brochures feature the following booklet titles,
which you can see in the accompanying photos:
All of these advertising ventures will also offer a subscription
to The Good News. We pray that God will bless these
efforts to reach as many people as possible, and we hope
that He is enriching your life through this literature.
Also this month we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Good
News Radio program, which has aired in 46 cities over
these five years. It is now also available on XM Satellite
Radio and on the Internet at www.gnmagazine.org/radio.
Work is also rapidly progressing on the new media center
that will enhance our abilities to produce timely video
for our Web site and for cable-access television. We are
having a meeting early this month to finalize plans for
video production. You can find the radio and TV stations
we are on in each issue of The Good News.
As always, please be sure to let us know if we can be of
further help to you.
Sincerely,
Clyde
Kilough
President
United Church of God, an International Association
