Dear friends and Colleagues, Brothers and Sisters In Christ,

Compassionate Ministries—Professional Payee Services began after recognizing a recurring need for financial guidance and clinical services among the chronically disabled and poor. In response to this need we decided to do all we can to demonstrate Christian compassion and love to those who are homeless, struggle with a mental disability, and are in need of a treatment program to break the bondage of addiction.

Compassionate Ministries—Professional Payee Services, Inc. has been approved as a non-profit organization by the state of California and recognized as a 501c(3) charitable organization by the IRS. As a charitable organization we rely primarily on tax-deductible contributions to meet operating expenses and develop our treatment programs.

We are grateful for both "In-kind" donations such as material goods, non-perishable foods, and office supplies, etc. as well as monetary donations to help with expenses.

What are we doing with In-kind and monetary donations?

Compassionate Ministries—Professional Payee Services, Inc. is currently serving as a representative payee for about 50 disabled clients. We manage their funds by opening bank accounts, paying vendors and landlords to ensure shelter is maintained and food attained by all those under our service.

Moreover, we are helping to support Luke’s House. A sober living environment for dually diagnosed men. With the help of a Director, and house managers we have developed a network of care for many people in need. Everyday we equip 10-12 men to live a better quality of life through Christian based recovery programs, structured day programs, and Bible studies that are filled with indiscriminate love and compassion.

Our most recent new development Feb 2009, is our partnership with Siberian Mission founded by Dr. Michael V. Meagher, Sr. We are excited about what God our Father is doing through Dr. Mike and his wife Diane, especially as they join us in ministry to serve those in need of compassion and love from our Lord.

Mike and Diane spent many years assisting in the corporal and spiritual maturation, amplification, and multiplication of the indigenous in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)... they continue to do so through online training and communication from their base in Texas and wherever God leads them.

Thank you to our supporters for local projects and support for the poor and homeless! Moreover, We need ongoing support for our missionaries. Dr. Mike continues online training and encouragement for those in need overseas, designate your donation to Siberian Mission.

May the Lord excite you this 2010 New Year as you draw close to Him. Make your tax-deductible gift to Compassionate Ministries—Professional Payee Services, Inc.

Sincerely,

Dr. Randall Torres (President)
