About WCN
Purpose & Goals
There are approximately
100 regional Christian newspapers now being published throughout
North America. However, until we launched Wisconsin Christian News
in April of 2000, there really was no serious Christian newspaper
here in our state. As a result, our paper has been extremely well
received.
Wisconsin Christian
News is directed not only to Christians, but also to those
who are seeking. We hope to reveal and promote our belief in Christ
as Savior to help support those who are seaching for a foundation
of truth, love and life.
We offer Information, Education
and Inspiration. In every issue, you will find stories on issues
impacting the family, and the body of Christ throughout the World,
the Nation and our home state of Wisconsin. In addition, our readers
enjoy news of upcoming events and activities throughout the state,
a wide array of teaching articles on specific topics, features on
interesting people and ministries you should know, our popular Pastor
Profile feature, Christian book reviews, thought-provoking editorials
and columns, inspiring devotionals, a complete Family section, and
so much more we don't have the space to tell you about it all here!
Our writers include such
well-known names as Billy Graham, Chuck Colson, John Whitehead,
and Dr. D. James Kennedy, as well as pastors and Christian leaders
from throughout Wisconsin.
Please take your time and
look around our website. We think you'll really enjoy what you find
here, but please keep in mind that there is so much more in every
issue of the paper than we have here on the website. If you haven't
had the opportunity to see the paper yet, we invite and encourage
you to order a free sample copy, and become a subscriber so you
can receive each monthly issue delivered to your home.
We also invite you to check
out our Ministry Partners and business sponsors. We encourage you
to patronize the fine Christian advertisers in Wisconsin Christian
News. You'll be supporting us by supporting them. Plus, by buying
from Christian business people, you'll be assured that a portion
of your consumer dollar will be tithed to the Lord's work! Tell
them you saw their ad in Wisconsin Christian News!
Finally, let us know what
you think! We welcome your input, as well as articles, manuscripts,
story ideas, and letters to the editor. So take a look around, and
then drop us a note. We'd love to hear from you today!
Together in His service,

Endorsements
Wisconsin Christian News is doing a tremendous service for the people of God in these difficult days. So much within contemporary Christianity is merely fluff -- but not WCN. Keep the faith Rob, and keep up the good work!

Ever since moving to Wisconsin and picking up my first issue of the Wisconsin Christian News, I've been impressed by the integrity, hard work, commitment, and excellence with which Rob Pue puts together each issue of the paper. It must be a thankless job yet it blesses and encourages countless numbers of Christians. Most importantly, he promotes the truth backed by the Word of God without compromise or apology, so that many others would draw closer to Jesus Christ. This encourages people to "Preach the word, in season and out of season". More true believers need to read this paper!

I was delighted to find a copy of WCN when I moved into a new area! It is refreshing to read positive news--to see the Holy Spirit moving in many areas and uniting Christians! WCN is a valuable tool in reaching the lost--Pass it on. I'm blessed in being a part of the Prayer Ministry and glad to make a small monthly donation to support this ministry.

I cannot express my deep appreciation for Wisconsin Christian News and, especially, Rob Pue. I value the insight and inspiration I find when reading the articles. Not only my camp, but all of our partner programs, advertise in WCN. (If you want another example of the value we place on WCN, we even provide the newspaper to our campers.) For me, the greatest benefit is the WCN Expo each year. The opportunity to talk with other Christian groups, learn from the different speakers and offer our ministries to people in need is invaluable. If you would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact me at barry@clbc.net.

We are MPK Christian Celtic Band (www.mpkband.com) and have been advertising in Wisconsin Christian News for a number of years now. It has been a great help for getting us "out there" and the yearly cost of advertising is extremely reasonable in comparison with other media outlets. The annual Wisconsin Christian News Expo is a great networking opportunity for musicians to interact with each other and have opportunity to perform. We really appreciate Rob and all the people we have formed bonds with over the years. Thank you WCN!
Deb Johnson
MPK Christian Celtic Band, Chili, Wis.
WCN is amazing! It encourages me, strengthens my faith, and helps me connect my faith to relevant social issues. I have been able to use many of the articles as a bridge to witness to my unsaved friends. What a treasure! Many thanks to Rob and all the contributors.

“Over the past several years, I have been personally blessed by Rob Pue and his ability to stick with his vision of his Wisconsin Christian Newspaper being the deliverer of articles and information from diverse theological view points. These articles have helped me to understand some of the views of some groups that I never would have had the opportunity to learn otherwise. WCN is a great asset to the Christian community of this state."
Ted Nelson, Pastor
The Grace Station, Wausau, Wis.
“We are honored to partner with The Wisconsin Christian News. They provide fascinating news, articles and opinions for Christians on a variety of topics important to our faith. In times when core principles of our Christian faith are under siege, WCN offers information and perspective crucial to our walk with Jesus Christ.”

I have been a columnist and advertising partner with the Wisconsin Christian News (WCN) for over three years. Not only do I find reading the paper to be informative, encouraging and enlightening, working with Rob Pue has been consistently a pleasure and a rewarding experience. His ministry personally and through the WCN is one filled with God’s love

"Want to be inspired instead of depressed? Then find hope and encouragement from the Wisconsin Christian News! It is the positive alternative as Rob Pue does his best to give from his heart to inspire us here in Wisconsin. Also a great place to advertise to the audience that is looking for Christian products to further enhance their lives."

Wisconsin Christian News is a rare find. It provides an amazing variety of resources and challenges for the reader on every page. For the Christian seeking information and growth it is part vision-casting, part how-to, part meditation, part family advocate, and certainly a central vehicle for building community in an age where we need each other. Thank you Rob and Lisa for providing this valuable resource.
Lynda Savage, M.S.

I am proud to be associated with Wisconsin Christian News. The organization has a heart for Christ and a love of God, which is inspirational. WCN is an outstanding body of work providing stories, news articles and feature reporting - essential reading for any Christian seeking to have their faith focused, spirits lifted and their roll as an evangelist challenged. I pray for God to continue to bless Wisconsin Christian News. Working with them has certainly been a blessing to me.

"I have been involved with WI Christian News for many years and find it a great way to network with other Christian organizations! I advertise in it, have presented at the Expo for the past 3 years and recommend you read the stimulating Christian articles therein contained. We are all a stronger, more directed Christian voice when we network and that is a strong focus of WCN. Feel free to contact me at Mel@mandmteam.com or 608-576-2636 if you have questions about our support and interaction with WCN."

WCN is a great Christain Newspaper because its authors are accuate and ineresting and many important topics are covered each month.
Jim Lees
Great Partners With Youth, Milwaukee, Wis.
Here is another example of the value of Networking through WCN. I had an exhibit at every WCN Expo since the very first one. At that first one is where I met the Saviors Songbirds and have come to love and respect them more each year. As a result of meeting them at the Expo, I eventually had the privilege of inviting them to my Church, Fellowship Bible Church, of Marathon, Wi. We advertised their concert as a Celebration of Life because of the miraculous way God has blessed us with the Songbirds Daddy Bill's healing after a devastating series of strokes. God also blessed our own Hoyt family where Daddy Mitch suffered an injury that left him paralyzed from the chest down. The two families have become close friends and shared the stage at this years Expo. For those who missed it, Mitch played the guitar and sang, accompanied by his wife Chris at the Keyboard and his four precious daughters doing a great job of singing. They touched many hearts. And it all happened because God blessed the idea of WCN and the annual Expo. May there be many more.

“Among the many things I am most grateful for is Rob Pue, our editor and creative genius behind Wisconsin Christian News. You know the saying, ‘You don’t miss your water until your well runs dry?’ Well, Rob is the wellspring of wisdom, compassion, honor, faith, humility - if you don’t think so, just go a month or two without reading the articles in his paper - when the well dries up, you will realize what you have lost...”

I am writing to tell you how greatly I have benefited from the monthly newspaper you have sent me. I have been moved from the county jail system to the Wisconsin Prison System. As you may imagine, my life as in inmate can be hard and sad. But I want to tell you the Wisconsin Christian News has given me peace, hope and inspiration during this trying time in my life.
I especially like to share it with other men who are in here with me so that they can also have that peace. I am not very good at giving testimony, but when speaking to others who have read the same article in your newspaper, I then can communicate how each article relates to my walk with Christ Jesus and how I can apply some of the wisdom, knowledge and strength I gain from each article with the men that I share with.
So once again, I thank you for sending me the Christian News and will remain committed to sharing with each new paper.

“Wisconsin Christian News is a solid, Biblically-based publication that is reaching out to Christians and non-Christians across Wisconsin and Northern Michigan. It is a publication that has been long over-due in this region and one that I know has personally touched many lives through the diversity of articles and authors. There is something for everyone in Wisconsin Christian News.”

“I am writing this note to endorse and recommend to you a long time friend, Rob Pue. He was one of our Awana clubbers when he was in the third grade and one of our best in memorization of Scripture. He was the first Timothy Award winner at our club and has continued through all the awards in Awana, including all memory work from third through eighth grade, over 600 verses. He is currently a member in good standing at the same local church, and an Awana leader himself. His integrity is one I can trust. God is blessing the ministry of Wisconsin Christian News through him and I recommend to you use this ministry to further your local ministry and reach beyond.”
Roy Koopman
Awana Missionary to Central & Northern Wisconsin
“I have been honored and humbled by my involvement with Rob & Lisa Pue and their work with the Wisconsin Christian News. They walk the walk, the word comes from their surrendered hearts in service to the Lord, and in the darkened and chaotic world of today, what could be more important and more uplifting than to remember and strengthen our relationship with the One who created us? I endorse your support of this fine and worthy cause whole heartedly. It will truly bless you and everyone who is touched by the work.”
Dr. James Bowman
Alternative Health Concepts, Stevens Point, Wisconsin
“Pick up any traditional newspaper and what you will quickly find is depression. The front page is usually filled with the emotionally-laden stories tied to the ‘ain’t-it awful’ theme. In striking contrast, Wisconsin Christian News is a joy-builder since it gives the good news related to Christ at work in today's world, including here in Wisconsin. Say thanks to God and Rob, by supporting this noble, challenging effort!”
Dan Kohn

“If I want to know what is going on in the North Central Wisconsin Christian Community or if I am looking for a resource for a special event, the Wisconsin Christian News is the first place I turn. Besides being loaded with resource information, the encouragement and inspiration from the variety of local contributors and nationally known leaders is sure to provide inspiration and encouragement to the Christian reader.”

“Wisconsin Christian News is a blessing from God to the people of Wisconsin. The ministry of publisher, Rob Pue, and the rest of the staff at WCN is a powerful one. Each issue of WCN is packed with well-written, informative, relevant, and inspiring articles with a bold Christian perspective. It's so refreshing and encouraging to have this much-needed positive alternative to the pervasive secular media. WCN is a valuable resource to Christians and a great witness to seekers. I believe in the mission and quality work of WCN and wholeheartedly recommend WCN to every household, ministry and Christian business. That's why I support the ministry of WCN."

Uplifting and informative, it is a refreshing alternative to the secular newspapers. It is wonderful to see a publication that lifts up the name of Christ, and that can be a beacon of hope to a lost and dying world!”
Rev. Danny & Lee Anne Hood

“Wisconsin Christian News is a much needed newspaper for the state of Wisconsin. The newspaper is filled with inspirational articles that speak to everyday needs of people and family values.

“Since its inception, WCN has been dedicated to sharing the encouragement of the gospel with all Christians in Wisconsin. WCN is an inclusive magazine, accepting articles from dedicated writers of all denominations.

instruction.”

“I thank God for the work that Rob and Lisa Pue are doing with the newspaper. I was amazed to find such a paper when a copy was first shared with me. We at Dells Christian Campground have been advertising in Wisconsin Christian News for two years and expect to for many more. It was great that Rob and Lisa came to the camp and did a feature article for us. The ad that they put together has brought in many new families. Working with Rob on our advertising needs is like working with an old friend. Keep up the good work, Rob and Lisa!”

God has truly blessed the WCN publication. It is an excellent resource for information and revelation to equip believers on issues and introduce us to other ministries that serve the Kingdom of God in our state. Thank you for your role in building the Kingdom of God through this ministry tool.

"I am always excited to get a copy of WCN and can hardly put it down before reading it from cover to cover. The articles are always interesting and thought provoking and the publication of a Christian newspaper is refreshing. I've sent it to relatives and friends living in other areas of the country and the feedback is always encouraging because they are encouraged by its contents". - Beverly Alfonso
Beverly Alfonso, Author

In our information age, most of us are overwhelmed with newspapers, internet updates, newscasts, magazines, infomercials, and other sources of news. While these sources are often helpful, few of them focus on news from a Biblical perspective. The Wisconsin Christian News is different. It contains an excellent blend of renown Christian leaders and local scholars offering news and information from a decidedly Christian point of view. I highly recommend it to both laity and clergy alike.
Dr. Jeffrey Hinds
Senior Pastor
Highland Community Church, Wausau
As a pastor in Wisconsin I am glad to see a newspaper like Wisconsin Christian News. It offers a wealth of information and is full of inspiration and encouragement. I have not had exposure to such a resource until coming to Wisconsin. The paper has been wonderful in helping our church promote upcoming events and designing layouts that best fit our needs. I am glad to be included with this paper. It would be great to see more ministries get behind such an asset to the state
Pastor Jeff Sheeks
Grace Baptist Church, Plover, WI
Sometimes in the course of everyday life, we cross paths with someone we truly respect. Rob Pue is one of those people. In Rob's case, a simple "thank you" for all of his unselfish labor may be the normal, but more than that is justified.
Rob Pue has always treated me with understanding, helpfulness, and honesty in our ministry efforts. He has always kept his word with me. Our ministry has advertised in the Wisconsin Christian News, and I have been honored to be part of their monthly commentary team. To those who are considering a working relationship with Rob, you cannot go wrong and will not be disappointed. He has my utmost admiration.
Paul Lagan
Alliance For Life Ministries, Madison, Wis.
“It gives me great pleasure to endorse the Wisconsin Christian News. Those who know me, know that I only endorse what I really believe in. After reading the WCN for about a year now, I have come to believe that this paper is a blessing for not only me, but the whole Church congregation that I pastor. Just this past Sunday, I overheard one of our members make the comment that they can't hardly wait until the next copy arrives.”
