God is at work in Nicaragua. It is such an honor to introduce you to the
beneficiaries of the newest land bank via our partnership with AMC (Local PW
Business Affiliate) in a rural area in North-Central Nicaragua. This group of
farmers has just started on the path to landownership thanks to God's provision
through the Land for the Landless Farmers program. Please welcome them and pray that they are
blessed with good health and good crops as they start a new life at “La
Bendicion” (The Blessing).
La Bendicion is one of seven Land Banks benefiting landless farmers in rural
Nicaragua. In addition to land
ownership, they also receive training and support in appropriate farming
techniques, crop diversification, and a host of other topics focused on helping
them maximize this opportunity for their families and their communities.
Since they were selected to participate in the program they have all been
working hard on their parcels. And while the road to La Bendición is probably
the most difficult access road in the area, the farmers see it as the road to
heaven.
At Partners Worldwide, we have seen that land ownership accompanied by
access to a number of other complimentary opportunities has the potential to
transform the outlook and reality of entrepreneurs like these. For this new group of farm partners, the
ground work has been laid and we are resting in the Lord for good harvests and
marketing opportunities. In due time, we trust that poverty will soon be a
shadow of the past in their lives.
As you pray for the farmers please also lift up the many members of the
Land for Landless Farmers program as we seek to create a healthy environment
for this new family of farmers to become agents of economic transformation for
their families and communities.
