Fall 2010
Dear Friends:
“Thank You” really doesn’t express all that we feel or how grateful we are for your mission donation for the ongoing ministry of the “Give Ye Them To Eat” program. The GYTTE staff and outreach project, through which we serve the people of south-central Mexico, could not have continued without you. As these disadvantaged farming families are caught up in this world-wide financial downswing, a program to equip people to be more self-sufficient and teach them how to diversify, is more vital then ever.
Over the last eighteen months there have been so many times when we wondered if this ministry could continue. Yet, with your help, villagers continue to be trained and equipped to better their own situation.
Like churches, ministries and missions around the world, the GYTTE program has suffered a steady decline in donations, yet we continue to serve as best we can. We are in good company as those who financially support this development ministry are also experiencing difficult financial challenges. Thank you for what you can do and have done in support of the GYTTE program and us, as your missionaries.
This chart lists the amazing ways in which YOU reached out to thousands of people through the GYTTE program during the August 2009 – July 2010 Conference Year. Thank You!
