Associates
Associates are the heart of Good News Associates. The mission of GNA is to support the work of its Associates who in turn will be offering the services of their ministries to the broader public. The ministries of the Associates have several distinct characteristics in common:
- Each ministry requires financial and emotional freedom to find the time and space in which to be faithful to the process—and thus to the ministry.
- Each ministry falls outside the scope of most churches and para-church organizations.
- Each ministry needs to belong to a working community for a sense of professional identity, for networking and expertise, for financial stability, for ministry infrastructure, for promotion and development, and for discernment and accountability.
The process of joining GOOD NEWS Associates is a step by step process of mutual discernment of the potential Associate, the existing Associates and the Board of Directors. For more information, contact Jan Wood, Director of GOOD NEWS Associates

Who am I? Like most of us, I’m a mix: I’m a nature-loving hiker, artist, wife, mother, scholar, and teacher. I’m Alaska-born, a world traveler, avid reader, lover of God, retreat leader, teacher, organizer, and spiritual director / companion. Oh, and picking blueberries is a highlight of my summer. Go figure.

Rosemary Zimmerman
I am a nurse practitioner offering free home-visit primary care for people on the margins: the uninsured or underinsured, the undocumented, the medically complicated, the homeless, the abandoned, or simply anyone who finds themselves fallen on hard times. I’m driven by my Catholic faith in the Incarnate Christ who always stands on the other side of any line we draw.

Thirty years ago, I made a transition from university teaching in the UK, moved to Richmond, Indiana. I graduated from Earlham School of Religion and served Quaker organizations in the USA. After retirement I twice served as an intentional interim pastor.
