WHERE WE STARTED

REHOBOTH
FOUNDATIONS FOR FARMING
STEWARDSHIP CENTRE

Based at Low’s Creek, 70km out of Mbombela (Nelspruit), Mpumalanga, South Africa.

All our trainings include accommodation, meals, training materials and we can host up to 40 people at a time. We have demonstration gardens that help the trainees to form the picture of the standards of Foundations for Farming. Trainings are presented by qualified trainers and learner trainers (under supervision). Trainings can also be presented in the local dialect. Some training can also be done on site.

I was Hungry Training is a partnership between FfF and Crown Ministries of America. This initiative has been holistically expanded to cover envisioning and mentoring in:

  • Farming – Faithful stewardship of the land. All FfF training material are used.
  • Finances – Understanding that all belongs to God and that financial stewardship is a scriptural mandate. Crown Money Map material must be used for this component of the teaching.
