They have established a day-care on the dump site, to minister to approximately 40 children whose parents earn their living sifting through garbage. They also run a medical clinic where dump workers and their children can be treated medically. Jose also pastors a local church and provides a "New Believer's" Bible study for the workers at the dump. |

Chris & Sarah Middleton
Chris and Sarah recently lived in the Muslim country of Turkey and work with Turkey AfriAsia Creative Outreach (TACO) where their mission was to creatively proclaim the Gosel of Jesus Christ through the dramatic arts. In their unique ministry they grew the Church using music, drama, entertainers, and story-telling throughout Turkey and the Middle East. |

China To protect the identities of the Green Family serving in the closed country of China, we are unable to display their picture, and have changed their names. Because Christians in this part of the world are at risk of persecution, we are also unable to provide details on their ministry. Please pray for safety and protection for the Green family as they work for Christ in China. |

Zambia, Africa (June 2008)
In June 2008, we sent a team of 11 missionaries to touch the lives of people living in one of the most difficult areas in the world. Aids and poverty have had profound effects on this country of 11,000,000 people in Southern Africa. In partnership with International Teams, our missionaries served for three weeks in Livingstone. Here is our Zambia Team:
While in Africa, we worked alongside our Zambian partners in well-established churches to help develop sustainable ministries that will reach out to this nation with a message of hope and love. Our team had a wide variety of ministry opportunities including:
- Construction. We helped to build a Regional Ministry Centre
- Orphanage work.
- We worked with people suffering from Aids.
- Food distribution to the poor.
- Evangelism
Please pray for the people of Zambia. For more information on this project please contact Heather Peake.
We thank you for your generous support and prayers!!

In August of 2006 Greenwood sent their very first team of missionaries to South America to work on a variety of building projects at a local Retreat Centre. In partnership with International Teams, our missionaries served for three weeks in Quito, Ecuador.
While in Ecuador, we were blessed to work alongside a dedicated team of English and Spanish speaking Christians at El Refugio, a retreat and training centre that spreads the Gospel to local school children through outdoor adventure camps. Our team had a wide variety of ministry opportunities including:
- Construction. We helped lay the foundation for a new Leadership Training Centre.
