Dear Friends of Faith Ministry,

As everyone is aware, this has been an eventful year for Mexico.  Incidents of confrontation between the police and the drug cartels made the news earlier this year.  In late April the H1N1 flu emerged in Mexico City causing worldwide concern. 

Thankfully, the flu scare has long subsided and it’s otherwise quiet in the areas where Faith Ministry works.  The violence of drug cartels has been limited to distant parts of Mexico in recent months, so we’re optimistic that life is returning to normal and we continue to believe our work teams are safe.

The staff and the board of Faith Ministry are committed to the safety of mission work group participants and our own staff, so please be assured that we will continue monitoring events and provide accurate and timely information to our partners in faith.

If you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call Executive Director David Rodriguez at (956) 631- 3567 or me at my office at (919) 582-9710.

Thank you for your support of Faith Ministry.

Peace and Blessings,

Michael Schley

President, Faith Ministry Board of Directors
