About Us

Good Book Ministries is a non-denominational Christian non-profit organization which finances, facilitates and executes the free-of-charge distribution of Holy Bibles and other Christian educational materials at appropriate venues and community events, for example food drives, homeless shelters and gathering locations, soup kitchens, fairs, and marketplaces. We also donate Bibles free of charge to low income churches and Christian ministries.

Our ministry started in the second half of 2021 with a small and dedicated team of Christian volunteers handing out free Bibles at the food drives of Calvary Chapel Meadow Mesa in Las Vegas, Nevada. Interacting with more than 200 people from our local community every week, we discovered that there exists a real ‘hunger for the Word’ in our troubled and apostatic society, as the Bible predicted (Amos 8:11).

Seeing God bless so many people, we became eager to expand our activities. Soon, the Holy Spirit sent us additional volunteers and our ministry grew to include an outreach to the homeless population in Jaycee Community Park, as well as evangelism activities at several large supermarkets in Las Vegas. Good Book Ministries was conceived and incorporated in October 2022 and is now a registered 501(c)3 tax exempted Christian charity.

Rapidly growing since, we already have volunteers from seven local churches active in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Mexico, and Ecuador. We have given out well over a thousand Bibles since the inception of our ministry and we expect that the Holy Spirit will help us distribute many times that number in the coming year.

We envision an inter-denominational and global outreach, and we are looking for Christian volunteers, anywhere on the globe, who are enthusiastic about sharing the Word of God with the world.

Meet our Board of Directors

Eric Weterings (President)

Florinda Mazer (Director of Operations)

Eric and Florinda are the founders of Good Book Ministries. Worshiping and volunteering at Calvary Chapel Meadow Mesa (CCMM) in Las Vegas, this married couple was led by the Holy Spirit to start ministering and evangelizing at the CCMM food drive. Originally giving out home-made pamphlets with key Bible verses, they soon moved on to distribute free Bibles to interested patrons and recognized a clear need to reach out to a bigger audience at a larger scale. Together with other attending members and volunteers of CCMM, they formed our Board of Directors and incorporated Good Book Ministries on October 25, 2022. Eric serves as our first President and is responsible for the overall leadership of Good Book Ministries. Previously a Professor at the University of Arizona, he has ample experience with project management and grant acquisition. Following his love for ministry, Scripture, and theology, Eric is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Biblical Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary. Florinda is a dedicated home health nurse with a warm heart for serving and helping others. Although she loves spending hours in deep prayer, Florinda is foremost a doer of the Word (James 1:22) who likes attending to the practical aspects of ministry. As Director of Operations, she is entrusted with the management of the daily activities of Good Book Ministry. Being fluent in both English and Spanish, Florinda is ideally suited to establish international relationships.

Gus Hucks (Vice-President)

Rochel Hucks (Treasurer)

Gus and Rochel came to us from beautiful Hawaii, where they gave their lives to the Lord Jesus while attending Calvary Chapel West Oahu. In Oahu, Gus and Rochel were actively involved in Christian outreach and church planting efforts in the community of Laie. They also served in both the prison and children’s ministries of Calvary Chapel West Oahu. Passionately enthusiastic about working with the little ones, they quickly joined the Children’s Ministry of Calvary Chapel Meadow Mesa after moving to Las Vegas. They now teach their young pupils the Word of God during regular Sunday service and once a month on Saturday as part of The Way. The latter is a new and growing program initiated by Calvary Chapel Meadow Mesa and intended to provide our children with Christian instruction at a typical Sunday School level, but also to assist them with math and reading. Gus and Rochel have plenty of entrepreneurial experience. Previously owning a plumbing company in Hawaii, they now established a bookkeeping company – Good News Bookkeeping LLC – in Las Vegas. Rochel is a licensed bookkeeper and a certified QuickBooks® co-advisor, skills which place her in an ideal position to serve as Good Book Ministries’ Treasurer.
