Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.   Philippians 3:13,14

No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.  Luke 9:62

We’re in an uncomfortable place at the moment; we’re closing one chapter and starting another. It’s all part of the same story, we’re just entering the next phase of our journey. We recently had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania for an Agricultural Symposium. While there we visited the Kilimanjaro base camp on a day trip. We did not anticipate the emotional experience that would be. We walked around watching people preparing for their big climb and we could feel all the anticipation and uncertainty of the climbing parties. Passing through the gate to the base camp was like passing into an epic journey. The experience mirrored our present reality.

Until now, our Farming God’s Way strategy has been expressed through Seed of Hope Community Development, in a specific geographic area. Our 3-year Canadian Foodgrains Bank project, soon coming to an end, was also focused on that area. We’ve done the occasional trainings at other locations for other churches and NGO’s, but the bulk of our efforts were in Bhekulwandle.

To date, we are in relationship with over 20 churches and NGO’s at various stages of launching or building their Farming God’s Way strategies. We’re busy planning and preparing for what it looks like to support and encourage this growing network of organization and leaders.

Seed of Hope was, and is family. It was a place, and a people, to belong to. Moving out more or less “on our own” is a bit scary. But we press on, knowing this is what God has called us to. Just like those climbers at Kilimanjaro, we plan and prepare, but we can’t anticipate what the journey will actually be like until we pass through the gates and begin the climb. Please pray for us – for wisdom, discernment, insight and encouragement – as we move forward into this new chapter of Farming God’s Way ministry.

Watch for the updates… because Dan says that one day he wants to tackle Kili himself!
