Roto Tiller

Here is a picture of the new tiller for Faith
Home in Honduras. This thing on the back
of that 90 hp tractor should really tear up
some ground. It will arrive well before next
spring.

Shade/green houses

We are partnering with Arrow Outreach to build a green/shade house at Juarez, Mexico in February 2010. The dates will be Feb. 6 - Feb. 13. If this works out I believe we will see more projects with Arrow Outreach in the future. This will be a hoop type structure measuring 18 X 40 feet.

Cody Meadows of Clay City, Kentucky wants to begin a gardening project near the villages of La Digue Matheux and Barbancourt. Geographically it is about 30 miles north of PAP. He would like to build a small shade house at Clay City for demonstration and to get a feel for using a shade house and building beds. Pray for Cody and those who will be working with him in this new work. We look forward to sharing our research and experineces with him.
