Greetings in Jesus Name!
As you have heard, AWAKE Churches of Africa have come under our ministry. So I along with my leadership team now oversee over 100 churches in Zimbabwe, Mocambique, Botswana and South Africa. AWAKE Churches have also brought with them a huge Farm of 400 Hectares (1000 Acres) which they had purchased 18 years ago. It has been lying idle for years, but now we can do something with it! We want to grow food in it and start an Orphanage and a one-year Church-Planting School that would be supported by the income from the Farm. The Zimbabwe government likes our idea and have offered us THREE Farms for similar projects! I have, however, said that we want to do this one first before taking on any more such projects.
Our Farm in Zimbabwe is 400 Hectares (1000 Acres), of which 650 Acres are ready for tilling. The food situation in Zimbabwe is very dire, and I want our farm to be fully productive as soon as possible. I have in Zimbabwe a team of experienced agronomists with farming experience (from our churches) who are excited and ready to run this project. I also have an “Advisory Team” of agronomists here in the US to advise us.
If we were to bring the WHOLE FARM under cultivation in this coming sowing season in October, what we would need is US$370,000 right now.
US$ 200,000 For Tractors, Combines, Spreaders, Plows etc
US$ 70,000 for Boreholes wells and irrigation pipes. They cost US$ 10,000 each
US$ 100,000 for seed, fertilizers and build basic infrastructure on the Farm.
Once the farm becomes productive, we can go on to build the Orphanage and the Church Planting School.
But realistically, it is too short time for us to get these funds, so we want to do as much as we possibly can with whatever funds we can get by October!
I already have US$ 10,000 set aside for 1 Borehole Well and Irrigation pipes.
The good news is that we have gold in the land. This has been verified by Government Mining Experts who have come and inspected the farm. Our Farm is right in the middle of Zimbabwe’s “Mineral belt”. Another good thing is that the gold deposits are not too deep in the earth. We do not have to dig far to get it!
For around US$20,000 We can get the necessary equipment and begin to mine the gold immediately. The profits from the gold will go straight into the Farm so that we can start farming in October. We can rent tractors etc for the time being until we get our own equipment.
The quicker we start farming, the quicker we can go on to build the Orphanage and the Church-Planting school. God is telling us to dream big and to expect great things from Him! We shall win souls and plant churches all throughout the Southern and South-Central African region. We shall feed the poor and feed the needy!
Whatever you could help us with would be a blessing to us. The more help we can get, the more we can do for the Kingdom of God. So please join your heart and your faith together with us!
Also note that this does not in any way infringe upon our primary calling to win souls for Jesus. Our Gospel Crusades continue with undiminished zeal, passion and vision to reach the lost with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus!
With much love, in Christ
