Faith in one minute or less
We’re doing something new with our YouTube channel, and it’s making a difference!
YouTube “shorts” are snippets clipped from longer videos. Google favors these and pushes them up front where people see suggested shorts, based on their viewing history, whenever they open the YouTube app on their phones. It’s an opportunity to reach more people and ultimately bring them to GNM’s website. Hundreds of people watch our shorts — many more than the full-length videos.
See youtube.com/@CatholicGoodNewsMinistries/shorts and find a topic that interests you. Give yourself a quick faith-boost!
Whenever you see our shorts, please share them with family and friends. They are great evangelization tools because they make important points in 60 seconds or less.
We also have split our Spanish-language videos away from our main YouTube channel. We’re now producing so many Spanish podcasts, daily prayers (beginning August 1st), and shorts that the new channel became very necessary. See youtube.com/@.
May you be blessed more than you need!
How you change lives: The impact of support
Did you know that Good News Ministries will celebrate 30 years of continuous service next January? Did you know that it’s only possible because of those wonderful champions of the Catholic Faith who support this apostolate?
Ours is very much a grassroots effort (i.e. there is no money invested in advertising and marketing). And yet it requires two full-time workers supplemented by three part-time workers, plus our own server to run several databases, plus expensive pro versions of podcasting sites and other tools.* The support you give — because you see the value in this work — is absolutely necessary.
Here are important ways that you can provide support:
- Pray that God’s will is done in these efforts.
- Spread the word about Good News Ministries to your family and friends (share pages, forward the daily reflections, recommend our prayer resources, etc.)
- Follow and share our posts on X (Twitter) and Facebook and LinkedIn and Pinterest and Instagram.
- Subscribe, like, and share videos from our YouTube channel.
- Join and share our groups on the Telegram text messaging app.
- Support this apostolate financially; visit gnm.org/donate today.
*It costs about $12,000 (USD) each month to run GNM, and we typically receive about $7,000 in donations each month. Without some big support today, we could run out of funds in September
