Farming God’s Way Training

Nov 28, 2011

SCHDO and Mercy Ships staff came to Makondu village to visit Edward Koroma with 14 people from Freetown, including 5 classmates of Edward’s from the ‘Training the Trainers’ course given by Mercy Ships in Farming God’s Way. As a graduate of the course, he has trained his first 13 students in Makondu in mulching and transplanting various crops. On his nursery table he has egg plants, chili peppers and a few lettuce plants. Edward is doing very well with his training work. The whole village came out to welcome the visitors and follow them from the beginning of the village to the garden.

The other new trainers that came along were very excited, saying that they were ready to make this new way of farming work in Sierra Leone! Mercy Ships staff gave them a word from Philippians 4:6: ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in all things, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, submit your requests to God’ and also from Ephesians 5:25, 26: ‘Love one another just as Christ loves the Church…’
