“This year during Advent, our church focused on what it means that through Christ’s birth, chains are broken, peace is ushered in, and oppression ceases.  We asked ourselves how we can participate in this liberation, especially during a season that focuses not on freedom, but on consumerism. Good News Goods was the perfect complement to our Advent theme.”
-Rev. Todd Ferguson, Willow Meadows Baptist Church, Houston, TX

Can you believe it? Summer is almost over, school is starting, and fall is fast approaching, although our Texas weather doesn’t seem to reflect that yet.    Football is already on the brain, and before we know it the holiday season will be upon us, filling our time with parties, family functions, shopping, and church events, perhaps, a Good News Goods Fair Trade market.   Our calendar is booking fast for Fall 2010, so contact us and schedule your church’s Fair Trade market today!

What is a Fair Trade Market? This is a shopping event, hosted at, and by your church, where church and community members can choose from a large display of Fair Trade products, place their orders at the market, & have products shipped directly to their homes.  This event allows your church and community members a convenient and fun way to positively impact the world with their spending, while also receiving a high-quality product with a story of hope.

Did you know that Americans spend an average of $40 billion each year around Christmas time?  Have you ever wondered how our spending impacts people all around the globe—people who we will probably never meet?  That amount of money could eradicate poverty worldwide two times over.

So this holiday season, buy a gift that pays a fair price and provides dignity; a gift that lifts families out of poverty and women and girls out of bondage; a gift that “brings good news to the poor and freedom to the oppressed.”

Good News Goods will also be present at various conferences throughout the fall such as The No Need Among You Conference in Waco, TX, and the Global Voices Summit in Austin, TX. Come by and visit our booth!
