GOOD NEWS COMMUNITY CHURCH Good News Community Church (GNCC) has been the Partner Church of St. Andrew’s since 2013, when it was designated as one of the New Ministries of Faith that Works. GNCC serves the inner city, impoverished and spiritually starved Miracle Manor neighborhood of Tucson, including the homeless, addicted, and hurting people who roam the area, an area that has been overrun by sin and darkness for decades. Many regular attending members are new believers from the community. St. Andrew’s has assisted GNCC with volunteers in renovating and updating the church building and also volunteers and funding for community outreach projects. We are helping, along with two other large Tucson churches, to provide financial assistance for the Pastor’s salary. Pastor Jeff Markland has stated: "We are called to go into the Harvest Field that is the Miracle Manor neighborhood, to represent Jesus’ love and grace, to bring people in need into a right relationship with Jesus, and to make disciples in the image of Christ.” Contact: Pastor Jeff Markland 520-358-5818 Good News Community Church 701 W.

GOSHEN INTERNATIONAL CHURCH TUCSON Goshen International Church was started in 2017. It seeks to create a multi-cultural and multiethnic English-speaking mission church in Tucson focused on attracting and harnessing the energy of young adults who have immigrated from Africa. It focuses a lot of its energy on refugees and asylum seekers, particularly as they navigate the complex US immigration system, find housing and employment in Tucson, and seek a church home for their spiritual needs. The church is affiliated with Goshen Ministries International, a Tucson organization that plays a vital role in supporting an orphanage and school in Uganda. Both the church and the ministry receive continuing support from St. Andrew’s. St. Andrew's Contact: Sandy Kreamer sandrakreamer@gmail.com GOSHEN MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL Goshen Ministries is an international ministry based in Tucson which exists to provide homes for orphaned and abandoned children in East Africa, with the goal of enabling them to become “Godhonoring adults able to care for themselves and others.” Currently more than 100 children are being provided the daily necessities of life, education, and spiritual care, including a school with grades pre-kindergarten through fourth grades. A new widow’s program serves eight widows and their 39 children. The ministry has planted two churches with an average combined attendance of 500. And it has recently added Kenya to its existing operations in Uganda.
