JGM News December 2024
In Luke chapter 2:13 it says, and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. The reason why the first thing the angels announce is peace is because no one in the world had peace nor can anyone have peace in their heart apart from a relationship with Jesus. The Old Testament tells us that there is no peace with the wicked, and we are all wicked apart from Jesus Christ. We were created for God and to have a relationship with Him, and we will never have rest in our hearts and lives until we find our rest in God. Jesus said in Matthew 11 to Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Apart from Christ, the whole world is heavy laden with no rest in their souls. When I received Christ in my life, it felt like a thousand pounds of weight was lifted off of me and I didn’t even know I was carrying that around until it was gone. I didn’t realize how unpeaceful I was until His peace that passes all understanding blanketed my heart. Jesus said in verse 29, that when we come to him we shall find rest for our souls. We will never find that rest through any drug or relationship on earth, but only through an intimate, alive, vibrant relationship with God through Jesus Christ His Son. 
In Luke 2:10 the angel said to fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Notice His promises and blessings are for all people. We were blessed this past year to minister to so many people at numerous FFA Conventions, farm shows, and fairs in the US and Canada. Romans 10 tells us that who
ever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Whoever means all people including the worst of sinners if they truly repent and believe and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.
It never gets old telling the world of the redemption we have in Christ. I love seeing the looks on people’s faces when I share the Good News of what Christ did for us on the cross and how much He loves them personally. Most recently I saw this when I ministered to groups of FFA kids from rural Oklahoma at the Tulsa farm show. I was amazed that they were so hungry for God that most of them stood and listened to us for long periods of time and many prayed to receive Christ. At the Peoria Illinois farm show, I prayed with a couple of older men who did not have the assurance of their salvation, but now they do.
As we enter 2025, we have some news to share. Since 2005 our ministry has operated under Victory World Outreach Church, Inc. lead by our dear friend Pastor Jeff Wright. This past July, Jeff Wright graduated to heaven where we know he is receiving great reward for a life in service to God. After praying about the direction we should take now, we know it is time for Jeff Goss Ministries to be its own organization. We asked 2 local pastors and a long-time friend to be on our board and have incorporated as a non-profit organization. Our application for 501c3 status is in process and while in process, and once approved, all donations retroactively are tax deductible. Beginning January 1, 2025 donations will flow through this new ministry. Although this is a new organization our mission and ministry remains the same; to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to inspire and train others in evangelism, so that they can reach those in their world. We look forward to the great things God has ahead and are so grateful for your continued prayers and support.
This past year we saw multitudes come to Christ but I still believe with all my heart that the biggest harvest of souls is still ahead of us. What a great time to be alive and to live for God and to share His good news to hurting world.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Jeff Goss
