Cypress Systems, Inc. through its non-profit JPW3 Outreach Ministries, Inc. (www.jpw3.org) strives to be a positive social citizen that works to address the needs of the global poor, bring justice to the oppressed, proclaim the "good news", and live out our faith through our corporate and personal lives. We believe that we have been given a stewardship responsibility to operate our business in a manner that holds true to our personal and "faith based" commitments and to seek ways to give back to others as we bring economic value through day-to-day business operations.

We believe that our business focus of providing healthy nutritional products and seeking to prevent diseases such as cancer is in complete alignment with our desire to reach out to others and improve lives. There is additional indication that organically bound selenium, such as SelenoExcell, may play a role in improving the immune response of individuals with HIV/AIDS and weakened immune systems as a result of various cancer treatments. We feel this is valuable work in relieving human suffering and improving lives.

We know that not everyone may believe the exact way we do, and that’s understandable, but we feel that by working together, we can improve this world, lessen human suffering, bring a greater degree of human compassion and simply love one another.

Martin Luther once said, "I don’t fear failure, I fear succeeding at something that doesn’t matter." We at Cypress desire to commit our business and personal lives to those things that really matter and have eternal value.

In Brazil, there are an estimated 7 million street children. They suffer every imaginable form of abuse, neglect, violence and exploitation. The average survival for street kids is only three to four years. These children desperately need a new beginning.

Hope Unlimited’s award-winning program ministers to the physical, educational, and spiritual needs of Brazil’s street children who live in mortal risk. Using a comprehensive Christ-centered model, these children experience personal transformation while being equipped to live successful, productive lives as adult members of society.

Hope’s Mission is to transform the lives of children at mortal risk, providing them and their future generations a productive future and eternal hope

Cypress and its employees are committed to the mission and vision of Hope Unlimited. Paul A. Willis, CEO and President of Cypress is a board member and Treasurer of Hope. Furthermore, Ginger Whitacre’s kindergarten class has a remarkable correspondence program ongoing between the Hope Unlimited school in Campinas, Brazil and her class in Pensacola, Florida. Although worlds apart in distance and culture, both groups of students have become friends and are learning firsthand the culture of another country. Ginger believes that it is critical to allow our children to see the world beyond their own lives and strive to understand the struggles and hopes of children thousands of miles removed.
