Bio Intensive Garden Beds

2009 Project recap:

In April, Marco visited the site of the current agriculture training center in Sinaloa, Mexico. For three years the pastor had prayed for agriculture help. He had a yet to be fulfilled vision of a field of watermelon growing on the church property. God answered his prayer for help, and our prayer for land for the training center.

In the summer of 2009, God provided a building with an adjoining kitchen to hold church services, cooking classes, community events, and agriculture classes. Since that day, church services are held every Sunday and Thursday and cooking classes every Wednesday.

September saw the addition of fill to raise the land, and our arrival in Sinaloa, Mexico.

In October, we excavated, removed debris, and began composting in a big way! We collected a couple thousand pounds of compost materials at a time!!

November was the start of the agriculture training classes and the first planting.

December was a big month as we helped move the pastors house to higher ground since it was sitting in a flood zone in addition to continuing with agriculture training.

January's plans include building a greenhouse, adding bio-intensive garden beds, and teaching a 10 week health class.

Thank you for the opportunity to extend our hands as you extend your hearts to reach the impoverished for Christ through agriculture!!!
