How did GNFC get started?
In 1981, a group of Christians living in Northern California began praying for Catholics, seeking opportunities to reach out to them in the love of Christ. Several were former Catholics. All shared a burden for helping Catholics find salvation in Christ. Jim McCarthy wrote a booklet entitled Good News for Catholics and the group distributed 800 copies of the booklet at a Catholic event in San Jose, California. That distribution marked the birth of the ministry of Good News for Catholics, its first publication lending it its name. Since then GNFC has produced a number of materials to help Catholics. These have been translated into various languages and distributed in the U.S. and around the world.
