Our Mission:
Our mission includes but is not limited to:
1. To feed the impoverished and nearly starving peoples, in both domestic and foreign lands, by having them grow their own food.
2. To educate through partnerships on how to farm effectively and efficiently, maximizing crop yields exponentially.
3. To empower the land recipients how to be self-sustaining by planting, growing, harvesting and selling their own crops.
4. To assist communities with tools and knowledge to become financially responsible, stable, and truly self-sustaining, helping them to build lasting legacies and breaking the cycle of poverty.
5. To draw people in the various communities to the land owning churches and ultimately to Christ.
Children/ Orphans
Providing young children with hands-on experiences in farming offers them so much more than just a skill - it gives them the tools to break the cycle of generational poverty, hunger, and helplessness. This knowledge becomes a source of pride, instilling hope for their futures and for the generations to come. It's a legacy they'll carry forward, nurturing not only the land but also their dreams and the dreams of the generations to come.
James 1:27
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Isaiah 58:10
if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.
2 Corinthians 9:10
He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
Widows:
As disease, wars, tribal conflicts, and hardships rise across the globe, so too does the number of widows facing overwhelming challenges. Our mission is to provide these women with skills and resources to empower them to provide for themselves and their children, helping to replace their suffering with hope and resilience. This support will transform not only their lives, but also uplift entire communities, creating a ripple of strength and self-reliance that touces countless individuals.
