Our Solution
"My people perish for a lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6
​Agrihope Inc. is about one thing: discipling Christ-centered farmers by teaching them God's redemptive plan for their farms and their lives. We use a resource called Farming God's Way to train, mentor, disciple, and equip farmers for their roles as healers of their land, economy, and relationship with God.
This happens through a few key ways:
-
Invest in and employ indigenous leaders.
-
Train farmers in Africa through these leaders.
-
Assist additional NGO's with implementing relevant and high quality ag based Christian training .
