Welcome to
GOOD NEWS for Everyone!

Over the past two years one verse has become somewhat
of a theme verse for us: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now
it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in
the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19.
When God gives you a verse, you cannot ignore it.
So, after much soul searching, we feel God is calling
us to a new season under the new name of
GOOD NEWS for Everyone!

However, it’s much more than a change of name or logo.
It’s a fresh call for Christians to respond to Jesus’s words
in Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the
gospel to all creation.”

Formerly known as ‘GideonsUK’ we have made several
significant changes in our Association, most importantly
opening our work for both men and women to join in
their own right and on the same basis. We also have a
new emblem showing an open Bible rather than a closed
jar, to better reflect the work we undertake – placing and
presenting the precious Word of God.

Our commitment to share God’s Word far and wide
remains the same, but we felt it was important to give
every Christian – men and women alike – an equal
opportunity to respond.

Over the past 70 years by God’s grace, our forefathers
have built a wonderful foundation on which we continue
to grow. It’s a legacy we are proud of, but it’s vital that we
adapt in line with God’s prompting.
As it says in Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens”. With
the establishment of GOOD NEWS for Everyone! – we can
officially start a new, exciting chapter in our story.

We hope you share our excitement for this important step.
People are seeking the Lord and together we can help
them to find Him and His “peace... which transcends all
understanding” Philippians 4:7.
