Agricultural Discipleship in Action

The broader program staff assists each team in developing an effective strategy to bring training to its focus area.
Training of Trainers
Local churches replicate conservation agriculture training in their communities.
Multiplication
Local churches reach out and disciple through the program, building the Kingdom.
Continued Discipleship

Next Steps
Toward Sustainable Kingdom Growth
Agronomic Benefits
Rural families will multiply their production between four and tenfold while reducing their expenses and reliance on agricultural loans.
Water Solutions
The EFI Applied Tech Well-drilling Training allows farmers to self-fund and install small wells where needed to handle drought.
Learn more about our approach to water.
Money Management
Crown Stewardship Training in money management helps families manage increased income from the agricultural development process.
This also helps disciple the families and guide them to use these resources for the Kingdom.
Market Linkages
Market access and cash crop systems training allow additional cash income to increase with increased production.
Savings Groups
Savings groups allow communities to self-fund additional agricultural venture infrastructure, which will increase their access to markets and allow for irrigation when needed.
Extending Our Reach
Our extended agriculture team walks with our partners to help them develop their own in-house training programs, develop funding to expand these training programs, and diversify the application of conservation agriculture into other areas of agro-production.
