The seeds you sow today ensure a harvest for generations.

Through our 5 Steps to Sustainable Development—Enter, Empower, Establish, Expand, and Entrust—you’re planting seeds of transformation that will benefit not just today’s communities but future generations. These steps are designed to break cycles of poverty and create sustainable change.

By equipping local leaders and entrusting communities with sustainable solutions, you ensure that the work we do today creates a “Generational Harvest,” where lives are transformed, and new opportunities continue to grow for years to come.

5 Steps to Sustainable Development

Our 5 Es of Sustainable Development capture what our work looks like in the different stages of walking with a community:

1. ENTER

We start serving in a community with the Lord’s guidance and invitation to establish strong relationships with local pastors and community leaders. Then they facilitate vision casting for their area.

2. EMPOWER

We initiate sustainable programs in the community by equipping and training local church and community leaders in methods of our wholistic development model.

3. ESTABLISH

We set up structures and systems for how those in the community will serve and implement projects to meet needs in wholistic, sustainable ways.

4. EXPAND

We strengthen existing programs to equip other churches as the impact of the work reaches surrounding communities.

5. ENTRUST

After three years, we review the program and ensure the local church and community leaders take full ownership of the work.

Create a Legacy of Hope

Perseverance in the mission is essential. As Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” 

While addressing today’s challenges, it’s vital to consider the problems future generations will face. Your steadfast commitment today is crucial for creating solutions that resonate through time, leaving a lasting mark. 

By empowering local churches and communities in Africa and the Caribbean, you are sowing seeds of hope and transformation that not only tackle present needs but also build a spiritual foundation for true sustainability, rooted in the hope of a full life in Christ. This legacy fosters resilience and strength, enabling future generations to thrive in faith. 

Your perseverance is not just about immediate results; it’s about building a legacy of enduring change and restored lives for years to come.
