How to host a Good News Goods in your church? There are three ways.

1. Texas Baptists can host a Good News Goods Market at churches as a single one or two day event, usually in the fall. A variety of consumable and non-consumable products are sold. The Good News Goods Market requires church volunteer support for set up, sales & inventory. It is a colorful, fun way to share with the whole community.

2. A second way is to host a Good News Goods Trading Post. The Trading Post is a mini-market of consumable products only. The partner church sells fair trade consumables, coffee, tea, sugar, rice, olive oil, lotions, chocolate and cosmetics on a regular basis designating particular Sundays to set out a table and sell fair trade consumables or by having a supply of products at the church office, coffee shop or bookstore. The church will keep a stock of product and reorder from www.goodnewsgoods.com whenever they run low on stock.

3. A third way is as a Good News Goods HOPE Partner. Churches sign up to be "HOPE" partners through www.goodnewsgoods.com and are given a purchasing code. Congregants will link to TradeAsOne.com, buy products on line and then Trade as One will ship, for free, all the items bought by a church to the church. This is an opportunity for a congregation to focus on a whole series of justice issues, discover Christ’s call for us to take action, and to use their spending power as consumers to take tangible action to bring hope and dignity to many across the world.
