URGENT PRAYER REQUEST:  Tanya’s daughter-in-law, Chrissy Kirby, had a stroke Sunday morning, May 2, 2010.  She had been moved back to Atlanta Medical Center after some complications. Thursday, July 8th, she was moved to the Shepherd Center for rehabilitation.  We are thrilled because the Shepherd Center has an excellent reputation. The Good News Trio desires your prayers for a full recovery for Chrissy.  She is only 30-years-old.  Pray for the entire family as they cope with the health of Chrissy and the care of her little babies.  We know that our God is an awesome, powerful, mighty God.  Chrissy is in His hands.

THE GOOD NEWS TRIO

Tanya Messer, Max New, and Marcelene New have been traveling, carrying the Gospel across the Southeastern United States since January 1996.  They never expected to still be together and doing this for more than thirteen years. Many people have been singing longer. But rarely do you find the same people staying together. Tanya, Max, and Marcelene have been amazed to see the hand of God at work in their lives; from the founding of the Good News Trio to His leading in their personal lives.  They continually look to God’s leadership in all that they do. 

The Good News Trio’s latest project is “WALK WITH ME JESUS.  “We wanted to get a new CD recorded much earlier, but the timing has not been right until now. We have included a number of old traditional gospel songs, such as “I’ll Fly Away.” There are some songs written by Max and some other songs which are special to us.” The title song, “Walk With Me Jesus,” is one of those songs which Max wrote. If Jesus is not walking with us our paths stray so easily. This song says: “We will not get far, Lord, unless you’re leading the way.”  Marcelene writes, “Our prayer for us and for you is that we will ask God to continually walk with us. He is willing and waiting to do just that. Just ask and receive.......receive the peace of knowing God is holding you in His hand, receive the comfort that only He can give, and receive the blessings He so wants us to share with Him.  The Good News Trio has gone through many experiences in the past years.  We have struggled with family and friends who have had serious health and spiritual issues; we have seen those whom we love go home to be with our Lord; and we have had many, many wonderful experiences in our lives.  And, through all of these things, we have seen God’s hand at work in many lives.  We give Him all honor, glory, and praise, for we have been so blessed.”

This group has been truly blessed by the Lord.  He has protected them so many times: during a potentially fatal traffic accident; during health scares and major health problems; and through daily obstacles in their lives.  They know that God still has a work for them to do, and their mission is to complete that work.  Each knows that they must always strive to be in the will of God for their lives. They wish to share with you their testimonies of God’s love and the Good News of Jesus Christ through their music.  The motto of the Good News Trio is:  Wherever He Leads, We Will Go!!! With love and blessings from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!!!
