ABOUT US
In this time and season we need to realize that old systems and traditions are not working. They have large cracks and have crumbled and fragmented because their season is well past and they won’t function effectively nor do they contain what is needed to be birthed to change the fortunes of the people. The Holy Spirit wants to birth new paradigms of Kingdom government in this location of the earth. It will be the emerging and spreading of the ability to feed and educate the African people by themselves for themselves and others both physically and spiritually. The restoration and empowering of the people will enable them to become self-sustaining, helping them to break free from the cycle of poverty and disease into their true potential of who they are meant to be
VISION
To empower the people individually and as a nation to provide for themselves both physically and spiritually and to grow into their true potential
MISSION
To teach, and enable the people how to produce the right food for the nations of Africa to enable them to break free from the poverty cycle, and to live and work, in unity within Kingdom principles with ethical and moral boundaries.
OBJECTIVES . To uplift, enable and encourage the people of African nations in their individual gifting’s
• To teach them how to excel in agriculture and food production.
• To grow the people into a true and real relationship with Jesus Christ and a Kingdom way of living
• To work with each nation starting from the bottom and working up.
• To provide for the people initially 4 large farms as training facilities freehold up and operating.
• To provide a dairy factory and an abattoir to produce income to be returned into local communities.
• To train locals to own and operate their own cooperatives in food production.
• To teach a holistic approach to food production incorporating traditional and modern practices.
• Teach people HOW TO fish rather than PROVIDE them with fish.
• To enable the nations using modern technologies to provide for all their people.
• To encourage unity in all areas through Kingdom living and Christ like character.
• Give potential young leaders the opportunity to learn and grow through exposure to NZ agricultural practices
• To feed the nation by the true Godly potential of the African people working in peace and co-operation.
INITIAL VISION:
Initially to setup from scratch two 1000 acre dairy farms and a factory plus a beef farm, abattoir, and a cropping unit fully funded, freehold, as training facilities, to train the local people in practical hands on and classroom theory situations. Operated eventually by the local people with the factory producing and providing product for the people to feed the nations of Eastern Africa and beyond with 10% + of the produce given away to feed the less fortunate. And the balance exported and sold for the greatest return; therefore enabling us to be self-sustaining and have funds to help as many local tribes and families develop their properties into modern economical agricultural entities, as possible over the foreseeable future. And to take this concept into other nations as the funds and the needs arise.
LONG TERM VISION
To spread this concept with the help and blessing of the African people and leaders with training in dairy, meat production and agricultural technology in cropping and general food production throughout Eastern Africa and other nations of Africa.

The machinery here listed is extra to that needed on the farms. It is intended that this machinery will stay with the group be used for the initial development of the farms and subsequently for helping the local farmers to develop their properties into modern units
• 2 diggers (10 to 15 tonne )
• Bulldozer D7 equivalent
• 2 tractors (120 –150 Hp)

BUILDINGS ON EACH FARM
• Dairy Suitable for the number of cows
• Chicken Shed? (Eggs + manure)
• Staff Houses Separate Standalone or motel style community living
• Machine shed/Workshop (Lockable)
• Concrete silage bunker. Calf shed/feed shed
CULTIVATION/DEVELOPMENT
• Grass seed
• Drainage
• Water systems: Troughs, irrigation, Factory , domestic
• Races
• Fencing, yards
FACTORY:
To establish a high quality Pharmaceutical grade Dairy Factory with dual wet dryer capabilities at 2.5 to 3.0 tonne per hour capacity initially (capable of expanding as needed) to produce top quality product with 80% for export to Europe and Asia the balance for domestic use (10% donated to provide the less fortunate the nutrition they need). We intend the factory to be a training facility as well as a nonprofit commercial entity (the profits going back into the agricultural community) subsequent factories will be set up as the need arises to be owned and operated by farmer shareholders similar to NZ co-operatives. The initial factory will be set as a benchmark for others to follow as will the farms
INITIAL FARMS:
The farms will be set up as training facilities and future project funding. Through the supply of product to the factory and abattoir to help the local farmers and villages as they modernize. We envisage the training to be in all aspects of agriculture and eventually spreading into other related farming areas. There will be up to 40 people on each farm at any one time with up to 20 doing the hands on practical day by day farming and the balance doing theory class room learning. The teams will swap over each week. + Outside students.
FUNDING
We are a voluntary organisation made up of mainly experienced Dairy farmers and related professions from New Zealand working through a non-profit entity. We will be reliant on funding from various sources. Our estimates are based on costing’s from NZ in USD terms. Our preliminary estimates are also based on full retail cost as we are still talking to a number of commercial companies regarding some form of partnership or sponsorship in the way of materials.
We estimate $4.0 million, per dairy farm for infrastructure, machinery, and stock. Beef farm and cropping farm $3.5 million each, approx. $40 million for the factory, $2 million for the abattoir and approx. $4 million for the machinery (as per machine list) and for initial set-up/running costs; a total of approx. $60 to $75 million
All funded by donations and the help of large business sponsors in full or part especially for first 4 units then funding to be a combination of profits from those 4 units and continuing funding donations and business’s help. It is intended to be self-funding and with the profits the funding and donations redirected into developing the local farms into modern economical units which will enhance the local economy and lift the standard of living of the local tribes. Then to roll that out through the nation and eventually into other nations as well.
