Love takes root through generosity. Your gift helps people grow more than food. Together, we are empowering communities with training, resources, and tools to strengthen livelihoods and build lasting food security.

The Yambasu Agriculture Initiative is helping communities in North Katanga, Congo, build a more secure and sustainable future through integrated farming. The Kamisamba Farm project combines poultry, crops, irrigation, nutrition programs, job creation, and hands-on training for students, benefiting an estimated 80,000 people. By improving food security, supporting vulnerable families, creating livelihoods, and teaching climate-smart agricultural practices, the project is becoming a model for resilient community development across the region.
Ntakimazi Jean Berchmans
A United Methodist agricultural initiative in Burundi is improving livelihoods through sunflower farming, mushroom cultivation and pig raising. Funded by Global Ministries through the Yambasu Agriculture Initiative, the project has trained more than 314 beneficiaries, created jobs and helped families afford food, school fees and medical expenses. Despite drought, inflation and fuel shortages, the initiative is building toward sustainable income through expanded production and sunflower oil processing, strengthening communities and the church’s role in local development.
Gilberto João Augusto Guedes
The United Methodist Church’s Yambasu Agriculture Initiative is transforming communities in Eastern Angola by improving food security, expanding livestock production and teaching sustainable farming practices. Supported by Global Ministries, the program has trained more than 600 families, increased cattle herds from 51 to 63, and provided seeds and pigs to strengthen household incomes. Despite challenges, families are preserving seeds, improving nutrition and funding education and medical care, building resilience, independence and hope for future generations.
This prayer centers agriculture and food security. This prayer matters to me because though I’ve never faced food insecurity, I did grow up on a farm that’s been in my family for over five generations. A connection to land, growth, systems, and cycles that feed us remind us of the thinnest veils between those who dine and those who wait for what may never become harvest. So God of abundance and hope, you bring life from the soil and make a way in the wilderness. Bless the hands that plant, tend, and harvest. Nourish those who hunger, and teach us to honor the wisdom of those who cultivate the land. Amen.
