Jesus has instructed us to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation”. (Mark 16:15) He also said “I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. (John 4:35).
GOOD NEWS for Everyone! (GNFE) exists to provide copies of the scriptures to anyone who would like to them. GNFE members come from a wide range of denominations and backgrounds and look for opportunities to:
• Present Bibles and copies of the New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs
• Lead assemblies and religious education classes in schools
• Share the Word of God personally
• Pray for and encourage each other
• Provide Scriptures for distribution around the world
Members from the local branch of GNFE have been active in all of the above. In our own community, over 5000 have gospels have been distributed in Clitheroe and Waddington. Future distributions are being organised. The gospels are given out in magazine form – currently Explore magazine. Explore Magazine contains the gospel of Luke (New International Version) and is specifically aimed at unchurched people. It answers questions like: Who is Jesus? Why was He killed? How is He relevant today? It also unpacks Christian vocabulary, explaining the meaning of words like “sin”. In addition it contains testimonies. At the end of the magazine is a page where people can record their decision to commit their lives to Jesus Christ. Readers are also invited to get in touch with GNFE if they wish to seek further help. GNFE will seek to put any enquirers in touch with local churches.
None of the endeavours listed above will bear fruit with out the work of the Holy Spirit.
Some things we can pray for include:
Local
• The Holy Spirit will bring conviction to all those who read the Gospel. That the spreading of the gospel in our community will lead to a harvest of souls.
• That the Lord will raise up people to enable the GOOD NEWS for Everyone! ministry to complete its work. That those whom God is calling into this ministry will respond to that call.
• That God will open doors, particularly in local schools, hospitals, and hotels to enable his Word to be widely distributed.
National
• For vision and grace for the GNFE National Office team, that the team will be able to lead and guide the organisation in accordance with God’s will.
• Continuing financial provision
• For grace for those organising regional and national Scripture Focus distributions taking place at major sports events.
• That the Lord will use the GNFE Bible App to draw many people to Himself.
International
• For fruitful partnerships with GNFE and other scripture distribution organisations around the world – in particular Shareword Global operating in Sweden, Eastern Europe (Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Moldova and the Czech Republic) and Canada.
• For lasting fruit from recent “Go” mission trips to Chile, Peru Cuba and Nicaragua.
• For the Lord’s direction regarding possible future mission trips.
