Good News From GoodNews Christian School

Hey Friends,

Thanks for joining me today. I have an update on the school in Nigeria. They are working hard to complete the latest building phase. 

We are excited for their progress. Our plan is to help them with the money needed to complete the building. Also, we would love to help them with funds to furnish it!

BFM has recently received some donations for the school. We sincerely appreciate every generous gift. The funds will go to help our friends in Nigeria!

 

I will let an update of Bro. Shobanke’s email close out this post.

Trinity Pentecostal Tabernacle March 2026

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for joining me today. I am finishing our Sunday recap. Yesterday, I wrote about our Sunday morning, HERE.

On Sunday evening, we were in church in Moss Point, Mississippi. We love our friends at Trinity Pentecostal Tabernacle. 

Pastor J.R. and Sis Teresa Alexander have been long-time friends of our family. We have gone to church together at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church for many years. I grew up with their children as my close friends. 

The Alexanders have stayed connected to Mom and me. We appreciate their prayers, friendship and encouragement. It is wonderful to have excellent people in our corner!

It was wonderful to visit with them Sunday night. Their church always makes us feel loved.

Most of all, the service was great. Bro. J.R. preached so well. The Lord was there to bring the lost back home. Several responded; it was so wonderful to watch the Lord touch them! I pray they continue to seek God!

I only snapped a handful of photos during our visit. I will post them in closing. See you tomorrow!

Tanner Williams Holiness Church March 2026

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by. Yesterday, on Sunday, we had a full day. We were rolling toward Alabama early in the morning. We arrived in Richton after midnight on Monday. It was a great day!

Sunday morning, we were in church at Tanner Williams Holiness Church. Pastor Donnie Williams invited us to sing and be with them for a service. We were thrilled to see our friends again!

We have been making a March visit there nearly every year for a long time. They have been a part of our road family for many years. 

Pastor Donnie and Sis. Gayla Williamson and their crew in Wilmer, Alabama, are wonderful. We love visits and cherish the time we spend with such special friends!!

Here are some pictures from our visit with Tanner Williams this time. I will tell you about Sunday night tomorrow.

Livingston Texas Visit March 2026

 Hey Friends,

I hope you are having a great day. We are traveling today. We enjoyed our time in Texas immensely. 

This week, we spent a few days with Pastor Don Goodwin and family in Livingston, Texas. It was so encouraging to spend time with our precious long-time friends. We greatly appreciate their time and friendship.
