Update

As most of you know, Mark Scott passed away on Friday October 1. He was a most important part of Global Compassion Ministries in general and Sustainable Food Production in particular. Perhaps his most important role was the example he set by his lifestyle and conduct as well as being a wonderful friend. Mark served as treasurer for Global Compassion Ministries. Many of you sent contributions to support Sustainable Food Production and Global Compassion and due to his passing, we are requesting that any future contributions be sent to the following address: Global Compassion Ministries
3205 Buckskin Path
St. Charles, MO 63301

Please indicate on the note line where the contribution is to be applied, Sustainable Food Production, Global Compassion, Hope for My Children, etc.

We are currently working on plans with two organizations in addition to the ongoing work at Ti Paradi, Mamababyhaiti, who is building a birthing center at Cap-Haitian, Haiti, and Roger and Vicki Grossman, missionaries to Guatemala. We are working on needs, obstacles, and crops particular to these two areas of ministry. While the project at Cap-Haitian will be similar to other work already going on in Haiti, the project in Guatemala will be a greenhouse high up in the mountains dealing with much cooler temperatures. Roger and Vicki have much to do before they will be ready for this project but we are already making plans and doing research.

Thank you so much for all of your faithful support both financial and prayer support. You have made possible and empowered the work that God has called us to do.

In His Service,

Joe
