Brendan Smith, Augustine Nyamayaro and Stephen Manhanga went out to Antelope to do spiritual training and look at contracts. This was a follow up and builds on the momentum that was already generated.
Stephen Manhanga spoke on the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13:1 – 9 and 18 – 23.
Augustine Nyamayaro spoke about the contracts and the 2 points that came out of this discussion is:
1. 10% of all profits that the Beyond Belief farmers are to be given to the local community projects. The farmers were very excited about this as they would be leaving a legacy in the community. They don’t want handouts but want to help their own communities. The hope is that one day the farmers will do it automatically without it being part of a contract.
2. The farmers will work in teams of between 5 and 10. If a farmer makes a loss then they jointly make a loss. It promotes community spirit, team work and accountability by them working together. The purpose was for them not to make a loss but they can actually make more by working together. At first the farmers were very sceptical but eventually they agreed that it was the best point of the whole contract.
