THE GOOD NEWS CLUB!
Mid May was shopping day at the Good News Club. It is a joy to have the opportunity to share the goods that YOU provide with these deserving children. It is impossible to adequately thank all of YOU who donated these items that have become “PRIZED POSSESSIONS”!

Prison Outreach
A delegation from the State Prison System – including the national Head Chaplin – visited us to show their appreciation for the ministry efforts that CGWU has been providing. You have donated for “security bars for the chapel, 1000 rolls of toilet paper when they were out, some mattresses, etc. But mostly, Michael has been faithful to provide spiritual encouragement and the Gospel every Sunday. They tell us that the morale inside the prison is changing in correspondence with the Bible training and evangelism that they have seen. This is a tremendous ministry field.
