Take The 20/20 Challenge

http://gnrtwentytwenty.yolasite.com/

Dear Friend,
We’ve written this message to personally thank you for your support and involvement in this radio ministry over the years. Now entering our 21st year, we marvel at all that God has accomplished, and we trust that He will continue blessing our efforts to proclaim His message of love and hope through the Gospel of Jesus.
If you’ve tuned in recently, you’ve probably heard us reference our 20/20 Challenge. The link below shares details about our vision for Great News Radio and hope that you will joyfully stand with us in moving our goals forward – to continue effectively educating, edifying, and evangelizing listeners for generations to come.
We are thankful to God for all who join with us in broadcasting the Good News of Jesus through word and song, 24-hours a day.
Whether you take the 20/20 challenge by becoming a monthly giver, your support of any amount is cherished and appreciated.
Along with the apostle Paul, we are “straining toward what is ahead, [we] press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called [us] heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (NIV)
All for the glory of our God,
Mark Burns and staff

Learn more and sign up here:  https://greatnewsradio.wufoo.com/forms/creation-museum-and-ark-encounter-tour/

We'll provide a formal way to sign up and pay soon . . . but below is information to help you plan. The group pictured was from our visit a few years ago. Date: Sat, Nov 12-Sun, Nov 13 Price $165, (covers deluxe motor coach, hotel accommodations, Creation Museum ticket, Planetarium ticket, Ark Experience ticket) Overnight stay at the La Quinta Inn, Florence KY, which includes: free warm breakfast, free internet, microwave and small refrig in each room, indoor pool, nice accommodations. ***My quote is based on at least two people per room (some rooms have two queens, others only a king, these will probably go to couples). If you don't want a roommate, the cost goes up $65 to $230. We will be boarding our motor coach at 6:15 am, from the far east lot (east of Dick's Sporting Goods) at Market Place Mall, Champaign, promptly leaving on or before 6:30 am. There may be a pick-up in or around Danville, TBD There may be a pick-up at the Beef House, TBD On sat, Nov 12, we'll go directly to the Creation Museum and stay until the 6 pm closing, then head to our hotel (dinner is on your own, as there are restaurants near hotel). Free hot breakfast at the hotel, Sunday morning. The Ark Experience opens at noon, so we may attend a local Church or hold service at the hotel, or allow for free time, TBD . . . and your input is appreciated. Leave the Ark around 4-5 pm, ET, arriving back home around 8-9:30 pm. Other things you should know: •Consider bringing along snacks, a sack lunch or other food items for the two days, if you so choose. The museums have restaurants where you may choose to eat at your own expense, and there are restaurants near the hotel. •Bring along a Bible, notebook, pen and camera. •Dress comfortably and casually, as it will be a long ride there and back. Maybe layer your clothing (weather dependant); you can leave things on our locked bus. •There will be sharing and testimony time on the bus, “no pressure”, but for those willing, consider sharing something that the Lord has taught you lately. :-) •A group photo will be taken when we arrive. •Our planetarium viewing will be a specific scheduled time. We'll know when, once we check in. So be aware if you wander off, you may miss it. • We will stop for dinner on our ride home.
