Farmers from Antelope
40 farmers from Antelope came to Ebenezer for three days of training. The focus was on Spiritual and agriculture teaching. Most of the farmers were surprised at how the two interlink.
Stephen Manhanga spoke on the four spiritual principles of Foundations for Farming - on time, to standard, without wastage and with joy. The Missionary Field Officers conducted the practical side of the training by doing demonstrations on compost, land preparation, grading, harvesting and marketing.
Farmers discussing what they have learnt
The training was a life changing experience for many of the farmers, who were exposed to the Spiritual and physical importance of farming to their community, Zimbabwe and the continent for the first time. As an aid to training many games and team building activities were included in the three days. This brought a lot of fun and laughter to the days. New friendships were made and existing ones strengthened. All in all, the farmers had a really good time.
