Planting Faith Ministries http://plantingfaith.org Empowering Farmers to Live Off of More Than $1/day Tue, 08 May 2012 15:02:40 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Our Newest Farmer Group http://plantingfaith.org/http:/plantingfaith.org/blog http://plantingfaith.org/http:/plantingfaith.org/blog#comments Tue, 08 May 2012 15:02:40 +0000 admin http://plantingfaith.org/?p=233      In our latest project, we are working with 15 women who are HIV positive. They will be raising chickens collectively for commercial production. This is a great plan because the women came up with the idea, researched it, created a plan and sought financing. It is completely theirs; Planting Faith has simply facilitated a process that allows them to have complete ownership of this enterprise.  In having ownership, by the grace of God, dignity is restored and these women can live their lives knowing that they were created in the image and likeness of God. We are excited about helping these determined women and supporting their nutritional needs as well as those of their families.  Please pray with us that God will bless the work of their hands and show them favor in their business dealings.

1.  Horace & Anne Tipton will be there!

2. This is NOT another temporary fix for  ”poor Africans.”  Your investment in Planting Faith trains African farmers to start business that earn livable incomes for the rest of their lives!

3. Commissary BBQ.

4. African dishes and soups to try.

5. A 3′ x 3′ Iron and Crystal chandelier to bid on.

6. A Golf Weekend in Orange Lake, FL could be yours.

7. Spears and Shields from African Warriors are being donated to bid on.  The Masai tribe sends their young men out into the grasslands with a spear and shield to kill a lion and initiate themselves as a man in their tribe.

8. Have you seen Le Pavillon? It is one of the most fascinating venues in Memphis.

There will be more to come!!

Tickets can be purchased here.
