Our story
27 years online – and still the best-kept secret in the Christian world
Where is the good news?
In a world where the news is often negative or trivial, have you ever wondered where the good news has gone?
The mainstream media focuses on conflicts, problems, and sensationalism, while Christian media can sometimes get lost in theological controversies or subcultural activities.
But where is God at work in today’s world? Where are the forces for good, and where are the solutions to our problems?
These questions inspired a Dutch journalist to start a journey that led to the creation of Joel News.
Where is God at work?
The book of Acts tells the thrilling story of the early church and the advance of God's Kingdom.
But is Acts still happening today? Where is God’s Kingdom advancing now? Where are Christians making a real difference, and how is the Gospel transforming communities and changing the face of the church?
If you’re interested in discovering these stories – reliable accounts that fuel your faith and daily life – Joel News is for you.
Joel News reports on the advance of God's Kingdom across six continents, inspiring thousands of Christians in over 100 nations every week.
'Good news from a distant land is like cold water to a weary soul.'
