Mission is about relationship- being with, not doing for. As such, the work of our committee is also grounded in relationships. Yes, we have efficient online meetings throughout the year. But first we attend to deepening connections to God and one another through an annual retreat. We look forward to sharing more of what emerged from this the Spirit-filled time!

"Conservation agriculture is not merely an agricultural intervention; it is an investment in hope, dignity, and the future of rural families... The Conservation Farming Project proved its value as a practical tool for building resilience to climate change. The farming techniques introduced through the project, including compost making and crop diversification, helped participating households better withstand the harsh season. More significantly, the hybrid sweet potato vines, purchased with a generous grant from Global Partners in Mission (Episcopal Diocese of Texas), proved to be a life-changing intervention. Unlike maize, sweet potatoes performed remarkably well under limited rainfall. Today, it is heartwarming to see some families harvest healthy sweet potato crops from their fields. The success of the sweet potato component has transformed what could have been a season of despair into one of hope. Most of the thirty participating households have harvested enough
potatoes to feed their families for at least the next three months."
