A culture of partnership is created and sustained by realizing that partnership - whether expressed in our neighborhood or in the wider world - can power our vision and scale up the objectives our ministry can accomplish.
The goal is no less than reexamining everything we do through the lens of partnership. This is the choice for those who want to make collaboration the default setting under which we operate because it reflects who we are, not just what we do in certain isolated situations.
Those with this commitment will at some point – and again and again! - ask these Four Key Questions of Collaboration:
- "I have a ministry vision that God is calling me to do! Do you suppose God has given this vision to others as well?"
- "Would it make sense to find them and see how we could work together to accomplish this ministry vision better than by working apart?"
- "Is there a set of skills that we might need to successfully meet and collaborate?"
- "How and where might I gain those skills?"
Building on these basic questions will release the power of partnership and fulfill the prayer (John 17) Jesus had for his followers.

Community farms: (Kibbutz)
4 land & wealth redistribution, to evangelise the community: To train, educate, work, live and have a base from where to launch missionaries into the community. A community farm is where the Christians in the community corporately owns the property. Our corporate finances provide cost of the farm, infrastructure & accommodation for those working on farms. Investors, invest directly in the crops to secure food and jobs for the people. Thousands of jobs will be created where people could be evangelise, reconciled, unity restored and worldviews changed to a Biblical one. Farms will act as a place of employment, a basic income, a missionary training School, an orphanage and launching pad to send trained missionaries. Here Christ Jesus will be a way of living where the community will see what we preach!
Three legs: (Operating separately)
1. Accommodation and employers Lodges/Hostels on farms with infrastructure:
2. Education, “Skills” development, Discipleship training & orphanages.
3. Agricultural projects – investment arm. (Project financing). Outside investors.
Full scale business to create a holistic cosmos to the missionary to have the infrastructure needed to live and operate in without lack or limitations.
