Foundations for Farming – Formerly Farming God’s Way
Revelation to Feed A Nation


Brian Oldreive

Two Foundations for a Successful Enterprise:

1. Faithfulness with little (Stewardship) The Bible tells a story os a master who entrusted some money to his servants while he went away on a journey. Some of his servants invested the money to earn a profit, while one servant buried the money in the ground and it did not earn a profit. When the master returned, he was very pleased with the servants who had earned him a profit, and he took away even the little he had, to give to the other servants. This story illustrates that when we are faithful with even the little we have we gain more. If we are not faithful we experience loss. If you are faithful with the land you have, even a small piece, and steward it well, you reap a good harvest.

2. Giving to receive. It is a universal law that the more you give into something, the more you will receive. We cannot expect the land to give us a harvest if we have not given to it with some sort of fertilization. Our farming enterprise will become more profitable the more we give of our time, energy and extra effort. If you are willing to be a good steward, giving of all your resources you have available to you into your farming enterprise, you can become one of the best farmers in the world!
