International Involvement
Haiti - June: 2020 is the last time our medical mission team was in the country. Since then the brutal gangs control every facet of Haiti causing fear, death, suffering, and hunger for the people. Sheltering in place is common, with limited movement due to gangs controlling the few roads available for travel and commerce. 5 years and there is no end in site.
Fortunately, GCF over the years have established long term relationships with LIVING WATER CHRISTIAN MISSIONS and others, and they continue to operate in a cautious but effective manner.
LWCM’s new orphanage that GCF has help with funds to build, is now completed (see pictures). Five young children have been taken in up to date, however full opening is being delayed due to safety concerns.
In January 2018 we took a medical team to Haiti and conducted 4 medical clinics. Over 600 people were serve at clinics conducted in the country around Gonaives and Port au Prince.
GCF will be going back in January 2019 with another medical team to do the same thing again.
We also checked on and supported our Haiti Clean Water well drilling team. AS OF THIS DATE, THE TEAM HAS DRILLED 32 WELLS AT AREA CHURCHES!! The team has also installed a portable water filter system at these Churches, which eliminates 99.9 % of all harmful bacteria from the water. This program brings clean water for their physical bodies and the Gospel of Jesus Christ for their spiritual lives!
We are excited to be supporting our dear brother, Petit-Homme Saint-Luc Beudet (Looko) via website support and promotion of his in-country Haiti Mission Services and water well drilling and purification services. Looko has made our trips to Haiti not only possible but extremely effective aiding in logistics, translation and transportation.
NEW PROJECT BEING CONSIDERED: GCF has created a relationship with Pastor Salonique Adolphe of Living Water Ministries at Gonaives, Haiti. A large church, Christian School, Medical Clinic, and Bible College have been developed over many years of efforts for the Lord, by Salonique, his family, and a support base from churches in the United States.
They now are considering building an orphanage in conjunction with these facilities. The Christian School has over 300 students, and their church congregation also has over 300. We feel that this is a wonderful model where GCF could come along side of this ministry and help develop this orphanage.
What better evangelistic model could there be than to raise these orphans in a Christian environment from their start to the point of reaching adulthood. The great potential of these orphans would be for them to have the chance to be well fed and protected, educated, churched and schooled in Christian principles, and have the potential to be involved in the ministry as Pastors, teachers, and/or parents. This ministry already has several church plants going in the area and just recently started a new radio station broadcasting the gospel.
We will be finding out more information when we go this January on our trip. If you would like to contribute to this ministry or be involved on the ground level, please contact us.
India - Pastor Paul Joseph, for whom GCF is the sole sponsor, is continuing to go out into the countryside and jungles southern India. His team has remodeled an abandoned church, started many home church plants, started a GCF women’s sewing training program, distributed food and supplies, and evangelized to many.
Long time India national, Charlie Abro is also supported by GCF. His organization has a disciple for Christ training program along with clinics for training Sunday school
teachers up in the Gospel.
in 2023 GCF continued monthly support of a small orphanage in Vijayawada ran by an Indian Christian Minister Samuel Shekar. We also sent an annual gift to purchase cloth to the 20 women GCF sponsored for the training of at the Sewing School GCF established. Funds were also sent to our sponsoring Missionary Charlie Abro, for other sewing training centers, and his feeding and schooling aid at the Granite slave quarry in Bangalore.
Clean Water Drilling Team Update: As of this date the Indian team GCF trained in 2014 drilled 15 wells at area churches. Charlie Abro who sponsored us on that trip, is credited with conversion to Christianity of over 1 million people in India since the 1980s!

It is our goal that by forming Global Compassion Foundation, this non-profit organization will serve as a vehicle and a catalyst for others to join us and allow our efforts to continue to expand.
