2007 Kicked Off

2007 has rocketed off the launch pad!!

Every year so many of us make resolutions to change. For me 2007 has started with some advances that you should all know about.

First, I want to share with you the story attached. God continues to work here on the island of Hispaniola in ways I least expect. This little story is one of those ways.

Second, my mailing address is changed effective immediately:

John E. Martinez
Agape Flights STI 13731
100 Airport Ave
Venice, FL 34285

Everyone knows the story of the turtle and the hare. G.O. has got both of them going on to raise support for the ministry this year.

Third is the turtle way GO is raising funds: Instead of using a great big search engine if you use GOODSEARCH.COM and plug in G.O. Ministries, where it asks for “designated cause.” We get a small sum of money each time our name is used. Please share this with friends and family to exponentially increase God’s money for mission in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Fourth is the hare way to raise money. We are seeking volunteers to work with us during the Kentucky Derby at Church Hill Downs. We will be right in the middle of the action. We need 85 volunteers to make a big chunk of money for just Friday, Saturday and Sunday May 4,5, 6. There are various ways to assist us PLEASE contact Jeff Rogers at
jeff.rogers@go-ministries.org for more information. I and the entire GO Staff will be working the Derby this year. Make this a mini-mission trip for your family, your church, bible study, men’s group, boy scouts or Sunday school. It will be fun and God will provide many opportunities to share His love.

Fifth and finally everyone knows the age of technology is upon us. In order to remain on the cutting edge of this new age I have a computer, a battery back up when the regluar power goes out here in the DR and I have also started a blog. A blog is a place on the internet where I will be posting pictures, more frequent updates, stories about what is going in ministry, prayer requests and my life as I live it. You can also post comments about what you see giving me feedback. If you are interested click on www.gojmartinez.blogspot.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
