Two weeks ago, I had the joy of bringing a group of young people to learn about composting through the Farming God’s Way method. For many of them, it was their first hands-on experience with a biblical and sustainable approach to agriculture. The day was filled with curiosity, teamwork, and a genuine hunger to learn—not just for themselves, but for the good of their communities.
What made this experience even more powerful was what happened next.
Last week, these same youth returned to their own villages, full of fresh knowledge and passion. They didn’t keep what they learned to themselves. Instead, they took initiative. They invited their friends and exchanged what they had learned among their team members to reinforce their learning. The exchange of ideas and local adaptations to the method sparked lively conversations.
This kind of reinforcement—where learning is immediately shared and applied—deepens understanding and grows confidence in our youth. It transforms knowledge into action. And it reflects the heart of Farming God’s Way: empowering communities to steward the land with God’s principles of order, timing, and generosity. They are invited to start
Here is a photo of our youth joining with Andre's explaiing and guiding the trainees through Farming God's way videos.
The session engaged great interests from the audience. One of the gentemen asked a deep question regarding agriculture - which he saw his community farmers do in their conventional ways. The basic message in Farming God's way triggered his curiousity to gain more of the training.
In a time when so many young people feel disconnected from their land, their culture, and even their faith, it is deeply encouraging to see this group rise up as change-makers. By learning, doing, and teaching, they are becoming champions of a sustainable, faith-based farming movement in Cambodia. The seeds we plant are not only in the ground—but in hearts and minds as well.
