JOPLIN, MO.--- Watered Gardens Gospel Rescue Mission is hosting a 2 day community education seminar beginning tonight. It will feature workshops and presentations from 4 different speakers, delivering a message centered around gradually reducing dependency on welfare. Event organizers say they hope the event inspires change.

"Two and a half million dollars every month in food stamps for Jasper County alone is too much, shouldn't the church be doing more to feed people, and how do we replace some of that," states James Whitford, Executive Director Watered Gardens.
