A Harvest of Hardship:
In many impoverished communities, the struggle for sustenance begins right at the roots. Families depend on small, hard-won harvests to survive, yet these crops often fall short of feeding them year-round—ushering in the dreaded “hungry season” before the next harvest. Over time, decades of chemical fertilizer use have drained the soil of its natural vitality, wiping out the beneficial microorganisms that once nurtured the land. Now, the soil demands ever-increasing amounts of fertilizer just to eke out a meager yield. For poor farmers, the spiraling costs of these inputs create an impossible cycle, leaving them caught between barren soil and an ever-growing hunger.
From Poverty To Generosity!
Our ministry is helping transform barren fields into lush, thriving gardens using the power of creation. By teaching farmers to harness organic mulch, embrace no-till methods, and craft natural compost, we unlock the secrets to tripling crop yields with simple, sustainable practices. Our training programs empower farmers to break free from the cycle of poverty and step confidently into a future overflowing with abundance and possibility. But we don't stop there.....
Beyond Wealth:
Focusing solely on boosting wealth without addressing the crucial pillars of wise financial stewardship, family unity, and spiritual grounding in Christ can inadvertently multiply our challenges. By neglecting these essential areas, we risk turning progress into a double-edged sword. That’s why our approach goes beyond mere economic gains. We empower people to manage finances responsibly, nurture deep family connections, and strengthen faith—creating a balanced foundation for lasting abundance and fulfillment.
Sending Cross-Cultural Christian Workers
We prepare cross-cultural Christian workers in agriculture, cross cultural living, faith, partner development and more. Traditionally the term Missionary has been used to describe a cross-cultural Christian worker, we believe that all Christians are called to be "missionaries" regardless if they leave their culture or not.
Malawi, Rooted in Hope:
In Malawi, Africa, our journey of transformation began through a vibrant partnership with The Source Spokane. The Source Malawi, launched in 2016 to care for orphaned children, has now embraced a new vision—one of self-sufficiency and community empowerment. Invited to contribute our expertise, we work hand in hand with local leaders, providing training in farming and finance to help them build a resilient, sustainable community center.
Our role goes beyond consultation. We’re praying for a a dedicated missionary that we can send to live on-site, offering mentorship and nurturing project growth from the ground up. By integrating guidance in farming, finance, family, and faith, we aim to establish self-sustaining businesses that can cover the center’s costs while empowering local talent.
Rather than imposing a western model, we celebrate indigenous wisdom by creating locally led training centers. These hubs are designed to serve as a springboard—hosting local interns and dispatching training teams to neighboring villages. At the heart of our initiative is a commitment to values like stewardship, faithfulness, humility, and selflessness, woven into every aspect of our skills training to build character and resilience in the face of life’s challenges.
A year after we visitied Pastor John in Malawi he is teaching local village chiefs about making compost. Training trainers has began.
This season Pastor John and his team are making a lot more compost!
Expanding to?
We have several invitations to do ministry in several countries including Africa and Southeast Asia! As God provides us with the needed resources and partners we plan to expand as led. The harvest is truly plentiful but the workers are few, if your considering cross cultural kingdom ministry please contact us today.
