Madagascar training event

The year started off with a bang and following a collaborative visit to Madagascar by Chuck and Craig, 31 participants were chosen to attend a seven-day training in Zimbabwe. Among these were high end office bearers from Madagascar, students, and green title farmers. Four DRC nationals also attended this French speaking training. Blaise and Rosine from Rwanda assisted with the training. And it was a joy to have Handre representing Crown with us. In-spite of having arrived during the early hours of the day, Craig started the event by bringing participants to the reality that they have come to meet Jesus. He explained that Foundations for farming is founded on Jesus and how it is our desire to multiply the character of Jesus in the world. The energy of the group was amazing from the start to finish, taking every opportunity they got to sing praises to God. It was a training with a difference as it ended with a foot washing ceremony showing mutual willingness to serve between the two countries in as far as God's purposes are concerned.

They were commissioned to go and freely practise what they had learnt and urged to faithfully start small while praying for God's multiplication. Craig spoke about the need to change this session from putting boots on to taking boots off and allowing FfF to humbly serve them (feet washing ceremony).
