Caleb Good
News Ministries is a Christ-centered, charitable, non-profit
organization. All of our personnel are volunteers.
We are located in Seattle, Washington. Nearly every month donations from many
sources are shipped directly to villages, orphanages and
hospitals in Romania and other third world countries.
Warm clothing and shoes, nutritional supplements to the
malnourished, non-perishable foods and groceries, medicines
(over the counter and prescription drugs), health care supplies,
toys, household supplies, blankets and sleeping bags, household
goods, and tools are given freely to the
many peasants, villagers, elderly, orphans, street children,
homeless adults and schools.
CALEB
MINISTRY TURNS THIRTY YEARS OLD
Founded the first quarter of 1990
by Jerry Riess while on mission to Romania along with Pastor
Gary Van Horn and Romanian Missionary-Pastor Vladimir Caravan,
Caleb was birthed out of prompting of the Holy Spirit, visits to
shepherds in their impoverished villages, and a clear directive
from the Lord.
Letter
from Caleb's director...
In 2020,
Caleb has shipped 366
boxes of food, clothing, medical supplies, school supplies,
theological book treasures, and household goods to The
Philippines so far this year. We have also provided grants
to overseas affiliates for food and family funeral services of
Caleb workers of over $13,750.00.
Want to help? Join the packing party the
last Friday of each month, Caleb House, 10 AM. A good opportunity
for people who work most weekdays to participate in packing. We can always use donations of white rice, canned meats or
fish, grains, and school supplies for the children.
If you think of it while shopping, we can use bulk white rice to
send to The Philippines. Each filled coffee can of rice feeds a
family for a week. We sent over 550 cans of rice in 2019,
distributed by Pastors to poorer families!
FIVE church groups have AFFILIATED with Caleb Ministries during
May! The largest is Bethel Youth Mission of Rwanda, operated by
Sawado Nahimyimana. They plant churches throughout their
country, undertake evangelisms, hold training seminars to bring
youth to discipleship, work in refugee camps, and hike the entire
country spreading the Gospel! Also joining are two churches in
Kenya, one in Nepal and one in Tanzania!
Caleb completed Director Jerry
Riess' testimony which was videotaped for the TV program "Overcomers"
with Chuck Reich as host/ The program, produced by
Horizon Media Studios, will be aired a minimum of
15 times on their network of the following broadcast systems
under the title "Answering The Call", "Upflift tv", or "Overcomers":
Uplift TV broadcast to 20 million Direct TV households, 15

Live streaming free on Apple TV, Amazon Fire, ROKU, and Google

clickingJerry Riess Overcomers.
Our thanks to Chuck Reich and his team for giving us this
opportunity to share Christ with others! They have offered to
come to Seattle and videotape a full Caleb promotional video for
our use for $3,800.00, well below their normal charge of
$10,000.00, because they really like what our ministry is doing.
We would love to do such a program but cannot from ministry
funds and any such a gift would not be tax deductible.

Not forgotten...
Light Under The Bridge goes
where most charities will not go, they go under the freeways,
bridges, and into the woods looking for the homeless that are
not involved with the missions, shelters, and soup kitchens.
These are the homeless that indeed feel forgotten, that is until
they meet the volunteers from Light Under The Bridge. They not
only feed, clothe, and bring various supplies to the homeless,
but through the relationships Light Under The Bridge has
established with various faith based recovery homes, they are
able to offer the homeless real hope-Jesus Christ and a way off
the streets!
Join Jon Meer, director of the NW division of LUTB,
every Saturday as they go under the bridges of Seattle feeding
and ministering to the homeless. Are you interested in helping
or have questions, call Jon at (206) 779-4263.
Caleb
continues to sponsor monthly free medical clinics in Nigeria, Togo, The
Cameroons, and The Philippines, along with continuing our daily and
monthly clinics in Petrosani, Braila and Bucharest, Romania. Our
affiliates now extend to Liberia, Kenya, Malawi, Zambia Nepal,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, The Philippines, Belize, Honduras,
Thailand, Malaysia and Maramar (Burma). Local Services and
goods are provided by Caleb Ministries to Light Under the Bridge street
ministry, The Cross Church, House of Mercy and other programs.
