1st Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Gospel Outreach Trip
November 24–28, 2026 • Hosted by The Good News Truck Ministries
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." — Mark
16:15 (KJV)
The Lord has provided us a means, and we have been able to rent a beautiful 7-bedroom, 2-kitchen, 2- living room (8 beds, 2 pull-out couches) vacation home in Newark, NJ. This special 1st annual event is being offered at no cost to registered attendees. You must provide your own transportation to and from the event.
Join us as we take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the streets of New York City. This Thanksgiving, we are heading to New York City for a special evangelism outreach event during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade—one of the largest and most recognized events in the country. With over 3 million people gathering in the city for the parade, we have an incredible opportunity to hand out tens of thousands of gospel tracts (generously provided by The Bible Baptist Church of DeLand) and to boldly go out and preach the good news of Jesus Christ.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one
that believeth..." — Romans 1:16 (KJV)
This trip is about more than just visiting New York, or watching the parade. We are going for the purpose of the great commission: to tell people about Jesus Christ and the message of salvation offered by His finished work on the cross at Calvary. Whether you are experienced in evangelism or have never participated in an outreach like this before, we invite you to come alongside us, being good soldiers in Christ. We will work together, pray together, encourage one another, and take full advantage of this unique opportunity to reach lost souls from all over the world.
"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ..." — Galatians 6:14
(KJV)
