It may seem like such a small word, “Hope,” yet it has the surprising capacity to awaken, persevere and overcome. Where hope exists, anything is possible. Where it is absent, there is no greater hell. A person’s eyes can tell you in an instant if hope is present. Eyes overflowing with hope invite change. Eyes vacant of hope feel like wells of despair. By far the greatest poverty is not the absence of money…
The path to finding a home for the Inundo model farm has been a challenging one, to say the least. After searching for three months at the beginning of 2019 for a great location in our price range, we found what seemed to us the perfect property. It had so much of what we were […]
Looking for land for Inundo Development is both exciting and daunting. We’ve been searching over the last few months – physically visiting, or scouring posted listings. Generally, we’ve known our basic needs: a few usable hectares, reasonably proximity to the airport, good accessibility, a house we can live in, and a good area from a […]
Leaders. Disciple-makers. Students of the Word, the Spirit and the soil. Proclaimers of holistic good news. Practitioners of freedom. Stewards of God’s abundant resources, and equippers of others to do the same. In order for Africa to thrive and produce an overflow, we need transformational catalysts, people committed to changing the broken systems in our […]
There is a beautiful gorge near Port Shepstone which is only about 1.5 hours drive from where we live. It is named after a petite antelope called the Oribi. The basement rocks in Oribi Gorge are according to scientists over 1000 million years old and the walls carved by the Mzimkulwana river are over 350 […]
Our pickup truck navigated the rough path up the hill to Senzo’s house in the rolling hills of the northwest townships of Durban, South Africa. We were visiting Senzo after he had attended one of our Farming God’s Way trainings in Ballito. It was a scorching hot east coast afternoon and any open ground was […]
We begin a blogging series this month where we highlight one of the teaching components of the Farming God’s Way curriculum. Our focus today is on the Biblical Key of Understanding God’s All Sufficiency and how that can be a part of helping people begin to flourish. Farming God’s Way has 6 Biblical Keys that […]
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former president of Liberia (and first elected female head of state in Africa) once said, “The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” This is an inspiring and potentially challenging quote for anyone grappling […]
We introduced you to Griffin Juma in our blog about his week of training with us in late September. We have been hearing great things from him since his return to Kenya as he takes giant steps in demonstrating Farming God’s Way in his community in north-west Kenya. As well, he has a report of […]
It is a wonderful opportunity to share this video made by Grace Family Church who were significant supporters of the mill at “Walk in The Light” in Ntambahlophe. There is some great footage of the mill dedication and an interview with Erlo, the founder of “Walk In The Light.” Sincere thanks goes to the Grace […]
Momentum for transformation is building… We’ve written before about Erlo Driemeyer and Walk in the Light, a ministry not far from Estcourt, here in KwaZulu-Natal. You may recall that Estcourt is where the police broke up and arrested members of a human sacrifice and cannibalism ring. It is a community steeped in Zulu superstition and […]
