Update from Gideon and Jennifer

 

I have come from a meeting right now in Mthombothemba community whereby the community is celebrating a very good harvest they got from their fields this year. The Vice-President of the Republic of Zimbabwe was invited to testify that the farmers in the community have enough food to push them to the next harvest or have enough food to feed their families for 52 weeks and therefore don’t need food hand-outs from the government this year.

Thank you so much for helping us to introduce Foundations for Farming/Farming God's Way in this community and truly it is going a long way in lifting people out of the doldrums of poverty. The community has been surviving on food hand-outs since 1981 but thank God that they have enough food for their families this year and this is because of the way that we have equipped them to practice the new way of farming.

Apart from celebrating a good maize harvest, our gardeners also had the opportunity of showcasing the produce from their gardens which is going a long way in improving the quality of life in the community. The community deemed this celebration ‘intwasa’ which means the beginning of new things. They are looking forward to see God giving them new strength to work in their fields and therefore better harvests in the years to come.

Thank you so much Bright Hope World that you are part of what is happening in this community. 

With much gratitude
Gideon & Jennifer
