Google Advertising in Scandinavia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While the United Church of God has cut back on
Google key word advertising, we have been able
to still do some in the Nordic countries to
add subscribers to the Good News
magazine. Since June 1 of this year we have
added these NEW subscribers to our English
Good News magazine.

Encouraging Report about Developments in the
Serbian Languate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John
Marinkov, United Church of God member in
Sedro-Woolley, Washington oversees our
Serbian
language efforts to preach the Gospel. Plans
are underway to translate
all 12 Bible
Study Course lessons into Serbian. So far
four lessons are completed and uploaded to the
Serbian literature Web site at http://ucg-nwwashington.org/serbian_literature.htm.
We hope then to translate one or two Good
News articles. Once the Bible study lessons
are translated, then we'll begin translating
booklets that support the lessons with deeper
information. Hopefully the demand for Serbian
literature
will begin to pick up.
Johnnie
Lambert who oversees much of our work in Eastern
Europe has offered the help of volunteers in New
York who lay out our Estonian and Russian
translations. You can see the cover of the
lesson two of the Bible Study Course on the
right.
Our
work is strictly volunteer. We need more
helpers to help with Serbian translation. If
you know of anyone with this skill, please let
us know. We pray that God can send us these
laborers. |

On the left are some of the responses that we

and questions. The most requested booklets we
offer have been the prophetic ones: US and
Britain in Bible Prophecy, You Can
Understand Bible Prophecy, Are We Living in the
Time of the End? and The Middle East in
Bible Prophecy? In recent weeks we ran out
of several titles. The booklet titled What
is Your Destiny? is most requested and is
also available in Swedish. We also get requests
to our email address and literature is
downloaded at

Hej har fått The Good News några gånger. Jag
undrar om det finns några booklets att beställa
på svenska? Finns det nåt för Barn/ungdomar?
Har en 10 årig tjej som börjar påverkas av
skolundervisning/kompisar/världen. Gärna nåt som
Does God Exist? Tack på förhand.
