Publisher’s Note
“I have held may thing in my hands, and have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.” Martin Luther
Looking back over the last 19 years since the first issue of Birmingham Christian Family magazine was published, I am reminded of the many, many ways God has guided and grown His ministry of Good News. The magazine was established as a resource for families and over the years we have grown as a “family” of magazines as well. As we thank God for allowing us to be in our 20th year of Good News in Birmingham, we also celebrate 15 years in Anniston/Gadsden, 11 years in South Alabama/Bay Area and 10 years in Nashville, Tenn. Behind the scenes in each of these markets is a publisher who works week in and week out to give their community Good News and help local businesses and organizations grow. The longevity of each of their publications is evidence of their sacrificial love for the communities they serve. It is also evidence of how our Christian Family readers and advertisers rally around and support the Christian Family mission of bringing Good News to the communities we serve. Thank you for allowing us to do what we do to the glory of God. To celebrate this milestone, we hope you will join us January 11, 2020, for our Celebrate the Family Expo! A day of free fun and resources for the whole family, www.birminghamchristian.com/expo
Again, thank you for reading and giving us the privilege of sharing God’s Good News every month!
