Sustainable livelihood for pastors is key. Like the message and messenger are one, we can’t separate pastoral care from the Pastor if fruitful discipleship is expected. Its important that the pastors is cared for as much as disciples are cared for. Rural dynamics portray the opposite, livelihood and family challenges for both Church and home. We change that by helping them see Gods sustainability hand through empowering them to sustainability and care projects. However passionate the pastor is for the gospel, the failure to care for the family holistically negatively bears upon his message in his shepherding effort.

With that in mind, a continued assessment of the need and feasible projects to help and encourage the pastors to be industrious, so that as they serve, they are to able to provide for the families and the larger community. In assessing we find some who like to keep sheep, pigs or goats, others keep bees for honey, others farm the land for agriculture.

Therefore “Capital Support Allocations” are made to different homes in different measures according to need and feasibility, skills in suitable food production methods are offered. Training in agricultural skills so that they move away from subsistence farming to large scale commercial farming.

We continue to resist the temptation to support short-term initiatives or handouts visible in the media: collecting clothes, food stuff, etc. we focus on sustainable livelihood modeled by Pastors to the community through enhancing production skills and quality produce that attracts good prices.
