This year it was easier than ever! - Judy Majchrowitz When I was ready to start advertising my Real Estate business in publications, I knew I wanted to work with Good News however I could. From my first meeting with Buddy, I was blown away by the vetting process to ensure that businesses that are given the opportunity to advertise are putting the growth of God's Kingdom first. I have felt welcomed into the family since day one. Whether it was a guest at a luncheon or the follow-up communication with Shelly and Buddy, I am so pleased by our partnership. Since I started advertising a little over a year ago, I have had the wonderful opportunity to help people find properties to buy and rent, we have had lovely conversations about the Lord. It has been so uplifting and encouraging. I love teaching and helping others through the vehicle of Real Estate. I cannot wait to see what the future holds with Good News and the clients I will be able to help and share the love of Christ. Thanks! Nina Christina Pechonis Realtor® It’s an honor to serve with such great leaders in South Florida. Thank you Good News for this opportunity. - Dr. Mary Drabik, President, South Florida Bible College & Theological Seminary Thank you for the recognition and for all that you do for the community! - Suzanne Marcellus, CEO & Founder, House of Protection, Inc. Great paper, disappointed that I can’t get it anymore at Chick-fil-A. - Kimberly Weeks Mathis Our small church was able to pack 95 boxes tonight. Such a blessing to be a part of this mission! - Carol Franklin Our church participates every year as well and it is such a blessing to be a part of something so important for these precious children. Not just for the children though because actions such as these little shoeboxes have a ripple effect; when it introduces a child to the Lord Jesus Christ it can, in turn, introduce Him to their parents, grandparents and so many others, therefore, causing many souls to be born into the Kingdom of God. Amen. - Lynda Tucker We Get Letters
