HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Featured on the front cover are 64 Champions; no, they are not standing on a podium with a medal draped around their necks; they are much more, they are serving the Lord and mankind with all their heart and soul. There are no words adequate enough to describe what a profound difference they make to the: homeless, foster care, feeding the poor, ministering to the school youth in need of mentoring or taking in the unwed mother and children in distress. I've been anxious with anticipation for months waiting for this THANKSGIVING issue. To our faithful GOOD NEWS readers: We have 90 to 100,000 readers . Just think about the awesome difference if we ALL contribute even $10 or $25. ➡� Become a CHAMPION; please show them your respect and support this THANKSGIVING, please turn to page 40, read about their mission and join me AND MAKE EVEN A MODEST DONA- TION by picking out a handful of charities. We feature each Charity and list each website, pull out your credit or debit card; Together we can change lives instantly. Make a statement, even if you work/volunteer or currently contribute -pick out another charity and show them respect and that you care; please join their army of supporters TODAY and in so doing it will come back in amazing multiples. I am grateful. PUBLISHER 2 NOVEMBER 2018 Good News • South Florida Edition South Florida Edition • Good News • November 2018 • Volume 20, Issue 8 - Leslie J.
