t a time when people in our communities are social distancing, their interest in spiritual matters and Bible prophecy is climbing, and our outreach methods must adapt. Good News TV is one way that has proven effective in reaching hearts for heaven. Good News TV (GNTV), widely recognized as one of Arizona’s premiere soul winning ministries, has been spreading the news of Jesus’ love and scriptural truths for almost 12 years, with both English and Spanish channels. Viewers throughout the state are blessed to be able to tune into Good News TV for life-changing, Seventh-day Adventist programs, 24 hours per day. With COVID-19 resulting in many restrictions on outreach and close contact with others, people are spending more time at home watching television. In these unprecedented times, this ministry has become an even more important and effective method to reach souls and then connect them with a local church family. In advance of the pandemic, an ongoing HD upgrade project, entitled “Perfect Vision in 20/20,” was launched, along with a new children’s channel, called “GNTV Kids,” designed to reach young families for Jesus. The ministry has since completed the upgrade to HD for their English channels, and they are fundraising to upgrade the Spanish channel by early next year. Likewise, the kids’ channel has been launched in five of the seven communities, and they are hopeful to finish the final two before the end of 2020.
