Out-Growers are farming twice the acreage
the Savannah Farmers Cooperative (SFC) is
farming and they will grow double what the
SFC fields will grow. They were in poverty,
and now they are prospering families. That
was the good news.
About 1,600 other poverty-stricken families have seen the success. They want into the
program and out of poverty too. This is the
best guarantee for food security in the future
for South Sudan. Simon-Peter says impatience
is growing.
The Out-Growers clear bush to enlarge
their fields. Then they wait for us to come and
plough. We calculated that we need
44 more
tractors and ploughs.
I said, “Cal Bombay Ministries doesn’t
have enough money for that. That would cost
$34,500 per unit!” One thousand, six hun-
dreds families waiting! “What can we do?”
Simon-Peter said, “We can pray!”
We prayed.
When I was in Sudan, I interviewed 12
of these Out-Growers. Their stories can be
read at www.calbombayministries.org or on
Facebook.
Canadian bible Society
To every tongue and tribe
The Canadian Bible Society, along with 146
national Bible societies around the world, has
been working diligently to provide the Bible to
every man, woman and child since 1904. And
yet it’s hard to believe that there are thousands
of people still waiting to receive their own copy
of the Holy Scriptures. But with the help of supporters in every corner of the globe, along with
the dedication of hard-working staff and the
leading of the Holy Spirit, this past year we saw
God’s Word being translated and sent out to
people who are hungry to hear about the King
of kings and the Lord of lords.
This summer we rejoiced that 33 years of
Bible translation work has finally resulted in the
first ever complete Inuktitut Bible in our
homeland. What an awesome privilege it was
to fly north and deliver the Word of God to our
Arctic brothers and sisters. It’s only because of
the Lord’s faithfulness and your generosity that
this important work can carry on.

tongue and every tribe with God’s precious
Word.

Changing the lives
of children
“It’s God’s mandate that the Church tell
about the love of Jesus,” said Eric Doku, a
pastor from Ghana. “But it’s very hard to tell
someone about the love of God when they
are hungry and don’t even know where the
next meal is coming from.”
Children used to flock to Pastor Doku’s
house, and he used the little he had to feed
and clothe as many as possible. It was never
enough.
But now Compassion has come alongside
Pastor Doku’s church to support them in
their mission. Compassion partners with local churches in 26 countries to help children
stay healthy, get an education and discover
God’s love for them.
Children and families are coming to
understand the gospel of Jesus Christ.
They are finding where true hope comes
from. And they are learning that they can
change their circumstances – they don’t
