Special thanks to Sarah Schexnayder for her custom cover artwork depicting Exodus 14:19-20 [...] and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

Why This Magazine? This magazine takes inspiration from two key passages in scripture: Mark 1:14-15 and Philippians 4:8. The first passage shares the greatest news ever proclaimed —THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM— while the second encourages a life that reflects those values and is pleasing to God. The Worldwide Church of God (WCG) produced a magazine called The Good News, which aimed to provide valuable support and encour- agement to those seeking the path to eternal life, while also proclaiming the good news of God’s soon-coming Kingdom. In the same spirit, A Good Report, published by the Church of God Assembly (CGA), seeks to car- ry on this commission, offering insight and encourage - ment to both our members and visitors. We trust you will find each issue informative, helpful and inspiring.
