Overview of Beyond Belief so far...

Feedback on chickens by Mxwayisi Dube

1. Generally the chickens are doing well.

2. There are 9 chicken farmers so far.

3. During the first few weeks the main problem that occurred with the chickens was the eye disease but they are now fine.

4. Spiritually - The chicken farmers themselves are fine but they need prayer.

5. Chicken mortality has been low (9 deaths) which is good.

6. Some of the chicken are eating the eggs so their beaks will need to be clipped                                                               

Everything with Beyond Belief is based on Prayer.

a) Prayer: Out of prayer comes relationship.

b) Relationship: It’s not just about the eggs and the tomatoes but people getting to know God. The service is two fold:

c) Service: Technical – fields and chickens and Spiritual – praying for people and getting to know God.

d) Discipleship – what’s it like getting to know God and being a follower of Jesus Christ.

e) Equipped: farmers are equipped with both technical knowhow and spiritual and they will be able to train others.

Every month, 40 farmers will be trained. If each of these 40 farmers has a household of 5 people each, we will impact 200 people and have huge churches.

a) With 40 people, we’ll have a church of 200 people.

b) With 80 people, we’ll have a church of 400 people.

c) With 120 people, we’ll have church of 600 etc

The model farmers will be moving on 1 August 2011. Responsibilities are as follows:

1. Technical side: Mqondisi Moyo

2. Spiritual side: Mkhululi Ncube
