Our story is personal and it started with a passion.

 

In 1981, after dedicating several years to working as a minister to senior adults, John combined his deep passion for travel with an enthusiasm for watching others experience the joy of discovering new and exciting destinations. Since then, Good News Travels has had the distinct privilege of sharing unforgettable travel journeys with hundreds of thousands of adults and students, helping to create lasting memories and connections along the way.

 
 
John and Donna Tribble

“After 40 years, the most enjoyable part of my job hasn't changed. I still love taking a travel idea and bring it to life. From idea to a destination, I want our travelers to have an experience they can be proud of to share with others.”

– John Tribble
