<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src="/_data/site/43/folder/372/GrowingHopeLogo.jpg" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Growing Hope</strong></span> was started by Janet in 2018, after establishing the Africa Naturally social enterprise farm from 1997 and Farming for Orphans in Mozambique from 2013. Growing Hope disciples and equips pastors and churches to grow fruit, vegetables and staple crops using &lsquo;Farming God&rsquo;s Way&rsquo; methods. This is an amazing resource to share the gospel and a practical support to ﬁght food poverty, malnutrition and focus on Creation Care. Pastors are encouraged to use this knowledge to equip others and be a light for Jesus in their villages and communities.</p>
<p><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Farming Gods Way</strong></span> is 'a resource given to the wider body of Christ, to equip the poor and break the yoke of poverty.&rsquo; It&rsquo;s an opportunity to improve livelihoods for those living in food poverty, grow nutritious food, ﬁght child malnutrition and share the good news that Jesus can bring to all areas of community life.</p>]]></description>
