New Initiative

For a long time we have been wondering how we can help & to improve the food production. As many of you know the folks in these areas are going through an extremely difficult time of hunger. On this note: We would like to thank all those who have been faithful to God and contributing to the Mozambique Emergency Relief Project. We have been able to distribute much needed food.

But the new initiative, Leighton has been preparing and planting using a method called "Farming God's Way" We have started with experimental fields on our property in Espungabera. We are hoping soon to be able to take this project out to the rreally rural areas where folks are subsistance farming but have the potential to yield bigger & better crops. We are also hoping to introduce different food types which will dramatically add to the nutritional value of the local diet.


It would also be a good idea I think if we can start re-introducing the traditional African wealth system which was shattered by many years of civil war. That is to start a cattle project which and as people get involved they will become recipients of a cow and the first calf will have to be given back to the project to be given to someone else. These are new ideas which will fall under the "Farming God's Way" project. So we would appreciate your ideas.

This cattle project sounds like what Heifer Project International does. Have you had contact with them? Ned might have details if you want them. Luv. Beryl
