We have kept the information on our piggeries on the page as an archive post.We had to close our piggeries in 2019, along with many other people because the price of feed left no room for profit, even though we sold all our pigs to one buyer.
We have prayed for a long time to find a way to make our ministry, especially regarding our pastor’s support, a bi-vocational self-supportive ministry.
Our first steps are being taken.
We are starting 2 pig farms with an initial investment that will allow us on an every four month basis, after the first 4 months, to earn our pastor’s support from the profits of selling the pigs.
50% of the profits provide support, 50% goes to purchase the next number of pigs and feed for the next four months
Along with that, a church has just picked up the support on a quarterly basis of one of our pastors.
I will be posting more details and pictures…we will begin building the pig corrals soon and we will purchase piglets in July. Right now there are none available on the market.
We pay our pastors $100.00/month plus $20.00 health insurance per month on a quarterly basis. Our director is Paid $300.0 per month plus insurance.
We also provide basic ministry funds for vehicle repair etc.
We underwrite the cost of all of our pastor’s conferences.
We do not, at present receive regular ongoing support from other churches for this ministry other than the one previously mentioned.
We may adding a new pastor soon.
I cannot give a lot of details at the moment but will soon.
Pray with us for we truly believe this is a model ( not just pigs) needed for indigenous church growth and support for long term ministry and enablement of indigenous pastors.
