Community farms:

To train, to educate, to work, to live and to have a base from where to launch missionaries into the community. A community farm is where the community corporately owns the property. In our case it will be the believers of that area running, managing and corporately sharing the property. In my grade ten class we were about 30 farm children. So, country wide we would have been hundreds of thousands who have a longing to go back to the farm but as 80% of people are just working for a salary most of us can’t.  That is where the community farm comes in. Here twenty people can corporately finance the cost of the farm, the infrastructure plus the accommodation for those working on the farm to stay.  Now we can get investors in to invest directly in the crops and other projects to secure food for the people. Doing this thousands of jobs will be created where people could be evangelise, reconciliation can take place, unity will be restored between groups in communities and the community’s worldview will be changed to a Biblical one. The community farm will act as a place where we are all employed and have a basic income, a missionary training School, an orphanage and a launching pad to send trained missionaries in to the world to go and duplicate this idea and to network with everybody involved globally. To have the infrastructure to feed and employ those new born Christians in our communities and give them shelter to stay with us in a secure environment till they are mature and trained.

 The Three legs of the Project standing separately:

 1.   Accommodation and employers Lodges/Hostels on farms with infrastructure:

2.   Education, “Skills” development, Discipleship training & orphanages.

3.   Agricultural project –investment arm. (Project financing)

 Accommodation through Lodges / Hostels, farms & infrastructure:     1)

 Farms will be bought from willing sellers. (Farms that is in the market). On the farms accommodation will be erected with 80 rooms on .25 hectares (50 X 50 meter). Place strategic between agricultural activities so that workers will be able to walk from lecture rooms or living quarters to the fields under irrigation or where a project is run. The accommodation is temporary structures to avoid rezoning to enhance the process to build enough accommodation all over, but will be five star accredited because of the finishing we will put on it and will be financed through shares in a Shammah-accommodation Trust. These shares will make the investor a co-owner of the farm and have the use of four rooms in the lodges and share as owner in 25% of the net profits of the agricultural projects. Secondly the investors can be working on these farms themselves, get a salary and share in a further 25% of the net profits as partners of a co-ops.  This leg and its finances will provide the infrastructure and the platform to farm commercially and provide food security for Christianity in Africa.
