A sad goodbye to one of God’s faithful stewards,
Rev. Donald S. Crisp
We regret to report that a great servant of God and regular presenter on the Good News Christian Ministries broadcasts has been called home to be with our Lord and Saviour.
Pastor Don, affectionately called “Don the Baptist” by his friends, will be sorely missed by the many listeners to the ‘Good News in the Morning’ radio broadcasts (6:30am Sundays on CFRA), and around the world through the internet.
Our deepest condolences to Don’s wife, Tricia, and the Crisp Family.
Farewell, Good Friend, Until We Meet Again!

Starting 20 May 2012, listeners to Good News in the Morning have been treated to a brand new group of Godly presenters, filling the shoes of Rev. Dr. Allen Churchill, and the late Rev. Donald Crisp.
They are:
Rev. Juliet Schimpf . . . . . . First Baptist Church, Perth Rev. George Sinclair . . . . . Church of the Messiah, Ottawa Rev. Brian Russett . . . . . . Sunnyside Wesleyan Church, Ottawa We are very excited about the beginning of a new chapter of GNCM, and we invited you, our radio audience, to join us for an opportunity to meet all four on 22 June 2012.
Meet the New Preachers
The evening turned out to be special indeed. There was barbershop music from Papa's Friends (extracted from the Capital City Chorus), brought in by Brian Wilkie, who is one of their members.
Alma and Allen gave us an update on Don Crisp's health, with prayers. By the end of the evening everyone present was extremely comfortable with the four who will carry the Good News torch into the future.

For several months now The Reverend Dr. Allen Churchill and The Reverend Donald Crisp have led the CFRA Radio Christian broadcast “Good News in the Morning” in partnership. However, after eleven and a half years, Dr. Churchill will no longer be preaching on the programme although he may be speaking periodically for short periods of time. In honour of Dr. Churchill’s faithfulness to the Good News Christian Ministries and the radio broadcast we invited listeners to a special evening of thanksgiving, praise and appreciation featuring the music of Jim Jarvis and Tara Lee Ferguson. The event was held at Bethany Baptist Church, 382 Centrepointe Drive, Nepean, Ontario on Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. There was a reception following, thanks to the good folk at Bethany Baptist. May we take this opportunity to thank you again for your prayers and financial support in helping us to continue this important ministry.

The Rev. Donald Crisp delivered his first talk on Good News in the Morning today, introduced by Rev. Dr. Allen Churchill. The subject of his talk (heard all too rarely from pulpits these days) was "His blood, shed for you and me." Allen will be back next week, but Don will be sharing the considerable workload in future months. We on the board of Good News Christian Ministries (as it will shortly become) warmly welcome Rev. Donald Crisp, senior pastor of First Baptist Church, Smith's Falls.
10 year anniversary of Good News in the Morning On 7 March 1999 the first broadcast was made by Allen Churchill of a new program of words and music,
bringing a Christian message of hope and encouragement to those who are looking for an intelligent, meaningful and spirited approach to faith and to life.
On 24 May 2009, from 7 pm to 8:30 there was a special event at Dominion-Chalmers to mark 10 years of uninterruped weekly broadcasting - 520 times that Allen has
faithfully constructed little gems of Christian wisdom and hope, which have inspired so many and continue to do so.
This was a celebration by
his listeners, the ACCM board of directors, and CFRA. Included in the musical content was Cathy Goddard, the Ottawa singer whom Allen features
regularly on the show. Steve Madely and Jack Derouin spoke for CFRA. Rev. Doug Ward brought tribute to Allen. The Dominion-Chalmers Choir sang, and Alma Churchill spoke and sang. Deborah Gyapong spoke of his role in
Christian communications in a secular world. The pictures

Improvement to the quality of the on-line version of Good News in the Morning As from Sunday 19 August 2007, those who listen to Good News in the Morning on one of our Internet links will notice a significant improvement in the quality of the audio. CFRA is making the broadcasts available to our webmaster as an MP3 file, which he then streams as before. Not only does this bring fidelity to the music spots in the show, it provides them in stereo - which is not available to our AM listening audience.
A Festival of Faith
In celebration of what God is doing with this ministry, we held a spectacular evening of words and music - a Christian message of praise and thanksgiving. Copies of Dr. Churchill's new book, A Lively Hope - transcripts of 15 of his Good News in the Morning broadcasts - were available for purchase.
First Board MeetingThe first board meeting of The Allen Churchill Christian Ministries (now The Good News Christian Ministries) was held in Kanata on November 2, 2004, attended by most of the board members listed at "Who we are." Board meetings are held approximately every six weeks. ACCM applied for charitable status as an unincorporated non-profit organization following the first meeting. This was granted with an effective date of January 1, 2005. |
