Hello Wai-Lam,

We've all been given a measure of resource from God. This is too important to miss. We may focus on the resources we don't have, but do we examine enough what we have at hand? Inundo Development would share that "...sometimes what is needed is a new way of seeing the resources that are already available locally and an embracing of an empowered identity."

Just as Elisha and the widow, the obedience to use the oil that she had was the key to experiencing God's abundance and expanding her (and her son's) faith. In the context of where Dan and Kerry Wiens are working, they focus on demonstrating what resilience from the land can look like at the Inundo Model Farm and building capacity among small-scale farmers across South Africa, and throughout the continent, to move beyond food handouts to cultivating their own resilient food systems.

Inundo Development recognizes this work includes mental perseverance and is part of a significant spiritual battle. There are so many challenges for people who want to start gardens and sometimes the obstacles prevent people from successful implementation. Pray alongside them as they share stories and requests below, and celebrate the momentum that Inundo has seen in the last few years.

Pray with Inundo Development

• We connected with Thomas in Newcastle a few years ago and helped him launch some of his Farming God’s way activities. Since that time, he has gone from strength to strength establishing gardens and connecting with people in the area. Thomas is now well on his way to full training accreditation and invited them to be a part of training his potential leaders. Building these connections is strategic and prayer for grace and relational favour are necessary. Thomas is breaking ground in incredible ways in this area. There is much spiritual opposition. We hope to inspire many more leaders to apply themselves to the training journey. May God open up the kingdom for ways to alleviate poverty.

• Maize is a staple crop in Africa and teaching people to grow this properly is essential. With Farming God’s Way methods we can expect 10 to 20 times the yield. Our Inundo field is a huge showcase for us. January was a very busy time for harvesting on the farm. We estimate that last year we grew close to 900kg of produce on our 14m by 30m garden and this year is off to a great start. It is incredible to be able to cultivate and teach at the same time. Pray that the learnings will go deep and be transformational in each person’s life. Pray that Inundo will continue to be a beacon of light.



• Our national Farming God’s Way training will be hosted here in Durban February 21-23. This event is incredibly strategic for Farming God’s Way in South Africa. For seven days, we gather potential trainers in one location and build into them. Three of those days we deploy the trainers to four different sites to practice training while training in community. It’s a massive logistics task to coordinate the four different sites. Pray for us to have the strength and ability to carry this on top of all our regular duties. Pray that God would go ahead of us and bring the people that need to be here. Pray for a deepening understanding of Farming God's Way knowledge all over South Africa.
