Herbert shared with us recently that without our rice and beans fund help during this lockdown, we have children and families that would not have survived. He said: “What would we have done without you? The need to be self-sustaining and grow our own food has never been more clear.”
We are currently searching for a piece of land outside of the city that would be suitable for farming. This would be a place to train and educate our children in the study of agriculture, as well as being a continuing source of food for all of our families.
This opportunity would not only fill a current need, but is also a very exciting potential beginning of our dream to both provide and educate through vocational training. Our vision is to one day have a vocational school where our children, the neediest of the needy, could be the very people who are teaching and training others in both righteousness and vocational skills. Julius in agriculture, Annet and Joyce in fashion and design, Rose in cosmetology, Angel in electricity, William in Mechanics- the opportunities will only continue to expand. Our dream is to raise up leaders for the next generation who will give back to the children following in their footsteps.
This is an opportunity to invest not only in your child’s education, but also in the education and well-being of many future children.
- It will be educational.
- It will provide food.
- It will help them be more self-sustaining.
- There are even opportunities to generate income by hosting other schools and training them in agriculture as well.
The possibility of being able to find land that will become the seed of our vocational dream for our kids, all because of this terrible pandemic, is a beautiful picture of how God takes all of our pain and works everything for good.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
