Agriculture that brings glory to God

Transformation through sustainable agriculture

Through discipleship Growing Nations envisions people who live with hope.  Transformational development teaching is the foundation of Growing Nation's work.  This transformation results in people who understand how to live in a new relationship with God, themselves, others and nature.

 Farming God's way (conservation agriculture) is a practical avenue for farmers in Africa to change their own destiny.  Africa is rich in natural resources and farmers learn how to farm alongside and in harmony with nature and not against it.
