Empowering indigenous pastors with backyard enterprises, so they can better serve their congregations and impact their communities.

The Challenge How do African pastors support themselves in areas where there are very few, if any, Christians? When the financial support of a congregation is not enough, they need other ways to make a living. One of the most sustainable ways for church planters to reach areas with few Christians is to have another job or business to support their families and ministry. This practice is called bi-vocationalism. The Apostle Paul himself was bi-vocational, making tents to finance himself and his ministry. We believe this is the most practical and sustainable method to finance reaching unreached groups with the gospel.

The Chicken Solution

Raising chickens is an ideal starting business model as meat chickens can be sold at market within 3-4 months, giving a quick return to the entrepreneur. Then while they are raising chickens for meat, they can acquire the skills required to raise them for eggs, adding flexibility to the business model as well as a broader market appeal in the community.

Besides being a flexible model with a product in high demand, pastors’ wives and children can also participate in the business operations and help it grow over time.

Your gift will help a pastoral family start their own chicken farm.
