Dear Friend,

Thank you for your continuing interest in The Good News magazine. In a world filled with incredible religious confusion and moral confusion, we certainly hope the magazine and our other literature is giving you critical insight, knowledge and enlightenment.

It is our sincere desire to make the rich understanding of the true gospel of Jesus Christ available to as many people as possible. Recently, three new advertising brochures were designed (see inset photos) that we hope will attract the interest of many new potential Good News subscribers. We have arranged to test a total of 900,000 copies of these inserts in various direct mail advertisements, including the following:

(1) Teaching Values "mother teaching son" double-postcard - 300,000 in January 2004 and April 2004 Christian Home School Connection card-pack and 150,000 in April 2004 Young Family co-op mailer

(2) Are You Prepared to Teach Values? "mother & baby" insert - 150,000 in March 2004 Especially For Mothers co-op mailer and 150,000 in March 2004 New Parent co-op mailer

(3) Are You Prepared to Teach Values? "mother teaching son" insert - 150,000 in April 2004 Young Family co-op mailer

These new advertisements are specifically designed to reach younger families with children aged newborn to twelve. Our sincere expectation and prayer is that many young parents will respond by requesting a subscription to The Good News. If these tests prove successful, we hope to mail or distribute over three million similar promotions during the next fiscal year.

Again, we thank you for your ongoing interest in our work of educating all people about the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. This mixed-up, misguided and morally-bankrupt world needs this precious truth now more than ever. Please don't hesitate to let us know how we can be or further service to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Roy Holladay
