Well, the masons have worked hard at raising the addition to the Permaculture Training Center. This addition will have three bedrooms and a training room that we can use to house mission teams and area leaders that will come to the center for training. We will be using it to teach people organic farming principles that will help them raise food and animals for their families and villages. The concept of being good stewards of the land by replenishing the soil with compost material (instead of burning), controlling insects with local plants like neem and lemon grass and containing animals by the means of living fences is unknown to them and at best rarely practiced.


Community development is a large part of our vision of sharing Christ with those with whom we work. Loving people in practical ways allows them to know we care and opens up doors for sharing the love of God through Bible stories.


Of course we will also use it to train Christian leaders and church planters as well. In just a few weeks Isaac will be training church leaders from various villages where he has planted churches. Whether the training is to help church leaders be better leaders and church planters or to help their people with practical methods of agriculture that will help the people of their villages, our prayer is God will be glorified!


The center above is being completed as the funds come in. $10,000 has been pledged and $5,000 more needs to be raised to complete the site development. Please make this a matter of prayer. The sooner we have it completed the sooner we can use it for the glory of God.


May God be glorified!
