LETTERS 10 NOVEMBER 2025 www.goodnewsfl.org Good News • South Florida Edition This is the person who should have been awarded a Nobel Prize… some countries are focused on one thing only, money and influence!! Let it be. Our people knew who deserved most, we move on and continue the good works with or without the prize!! We are rewarded by the people’s good faith in God and trust with our President!! - Consuelo Generoso – Griffith He was a warrior for Christ! - Vicky Reeves No rest for Charlie. He is still crowding up Heaven. - Wanda Streetman-Lemoine A real revival is happening all over the world because of him. - Scoop Mendenhall May Charlie’s words continue on now even louder and more powerful than ever before!!! - Barbara Sproul Good News Media Group, he was a podcaster. You guys act like he was Jesus himself. Lol - Donovan Deltron Valentin A hero of the Faith, Family & Freedom. He lived for those convictions without apology, and he died for them without compromise. We all owe him our gratitude for his guidance, courage and love for our country. - Tilenna V. Wright Truth or Consequences by Omar Aleman, Aleman and Associates Great story. Continued prayers. - Danny Ball A Life Dedicated to the Restoration or Faith and Rebirth of Patriotism by Shelly Pond, Good News Editor I was greatly encouraged by the front-page cover of Charlie Kirk, as well as the article by Pastor Rob Pacienza and the overview of Charlie Kirk's life by Shelly Pond. His life , and untimely death were deserving of that honor. As much as I was encouraged by the reporting of the Good News, I was also dismayed by that portion of the church community that chose to minimize, if not completely, ignore Charlie Kirk's death, and for some to disparage his character and the impact that he had. Regardless of what one might think about Charlie Kirk, his death brought the message of Christ to the world and prompted our governmental leaders to testify about Jesus. Stay tuned...the revival is coming! - Mike McDermott, Seniors and Probate Specialist, The Keyes Company Thank you for all you do for South Florida! I LOVE the picture of Charlie on the latest issue! My prayer is that the Charlie Kirk effect will not wane but will continue to grow and grow… to honor the Lord! - Ginger Loomis One of the great guys that will go down in history. - Margaret Blain Please, he wasn’t a saint. - Vicki Currier PUBLISHER . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8 Parables – by Leslie J.
