We need to improve our agriculture so that the orphanage can become self-sufficient in food
It has always been one of our priorities to grow as much of our own food as possible. During the past 15 years we have grown cereals, fruit, vegetables and have kept pigs, chickens, ducks and fish.
Growing food in our orphanage garden.
Pastor Gum San has an university education in agriculture and has the skills and knowledge to make our ministry self-sufficient in food, but we need an input of capital to make the projects more efficient.
Our fish ponds need to be relined and air pipes with electric pumps fitted.
OUR FARM
In January 2019 there was an amazing series of events where the Lord showed us quite clearly that He wanted us to start farming an unused field so that we could become self-sufficient in food. In three consecutive days we were given the following: firstly a piped water supply was laid to our field, then the next day a road was cut through the jungle so that we could access our field, and then on the third day an unemployed farmer arrived at our orphanage looking for work. We immediately employed the farmer and since then the Lord has blessed the project. Today there are 100 durian trees, 200 avocado trees, 1000 banana trees, 60 rambutan trees, as well as pineapples, mangos, lemons, and arabic coffee. Two thirds of the orphanage food requirements are now supplied from this farm, and excess produce is sold in Bangkok.
