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 delivered by Mr. Andre, a French missionary. For many of our youth, 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.
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 had a chance to reinforce and shared among their friends.
They invited their young people to share what they had learned. This kind of reinforcement—where learning is immediately shared and applied—deepens understanding and grows confidence. It transforms knowledge into action. We planned to build a compost pile on our Living Water Farm.
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. We are looking forward to joining with their hands to make an impact in their communities.
