We just received a very encouraging report from our team in Malawi. Maria have been teaching Farming God's Way in two villages, Samuel teaching the practical and Maria teaching the spiritual. The people are excited, and the classes are well attended. New members are joining each session, and some are coming from distant villages to hear about Farming God's Way for the first time.
Attendees reported that they are now understanding that God wants them to succeed in their farming, but more than that, He wants them to trust Him to be their help and blessing in every area of their lives.
The Farming God's Way course Maria is teaching instills these Biblical values: Seek to honor and obey God in everything. Do your work at high standards, on time, and with no waste.
This is a dramatic shift away from the mix of superstition and islam that is typically practiced in the rural villages. In the past villagers have planted talismans in their fields for "good luck " and trusted the advice of traditional healers. We are praying God will tremendously bless those who fully rely on doing things God's way.
This is the rainy season, but the rains haven't started yet. Please join us in prayer that the rains this season will bless the crops of these precious new believers - not too little, not too much, and that they will begin soon.
