A 41-year-old newsletter: the Heineys’ journey of consistency

Do you know any personal publication with 41 years of history?

Here at GLO, we can’t think of anything that compares.

Next month, Tim and Beth Heiney’s newsletter will celebrate an incredible milestone: 41 years since its first issue, written in February 1984.

“And aside from a few blanks here and there, it’s been about every month!” they wrote in their latest edition.

This isn’t just any newsletter. They’ve filled two large binders with their faithful updates, plus a smaller one for a children’s edition. It’s a beautiful archive that reflects the countless miraculous ways God has worked through their ministry over the years.

What makes their newsletter unique? It’s like a handmade treasure, featuring colorful, hand-drawn illustrations surrounding the text. Even though it’s now sent digitally to subscribers, it retains its personal, heartfelt touch.

Month after month, Tim and Beth pour their hearts into sharing inspiring stories from their ministry in Guinea, creating a testament to God’s faithfulness and their commitment.

“One of the best things about having that history,” they write, “is looking back and reminding ourselves of all the wonderful and miraculous ways God has worked over the years. He has been amazingly faithful and good to us.”

And retirement? It’s a question they hear often. Their response says it all: “Whenever God decides to retire us!”
