Moving Forward to 2008

A year has passed for CAM Agri Project. Looking back, the Lord has taught us a lot of how to’s—how to manage the farm, how to deal with people, how to maximize the resources, how to bounce back from defeat, how to sustain the work, how to,… etc, etc. In all of these how to’s, we saw the hand of God moving and molding us in the way He wants us to be—ever trusting and leaning on Him. True, there were mistakes done, failures, discouragements, and disappointments. But in all of these, the Lord God sustained us and the Project is still existent and continuing despite its limited resources. The love, understanding, and support of some of the brethren provided encouragement during those times we were tempted to call it quits.

After four months of waiting, we have finally harvested the palay. The land yielded a total of 25-30 sacks of palay (yet to be milled). Much prayer was given for this palay as several typhoons threatened to destroy the crop. But thanks to God who shielded them from the harshness of the rain and blessed us with sunlight when it was time to harvest and dry it.

The number of our goats has also doubled to 12, with some of the does giving birth. God has also protected these animals as we have zero mortality to date.

We envision the year 2008 to be another exciting and faith-filled year for CAM as we continue on the above projects and embark on new ones. Lord willing, the plan to invest on high-breed goats will start this year. As a response to the government’s plan to construct a dam in Laiban, Rizal, the CAM management has been busy looking for an alternative farm. Please pray that we will be able to find one.

May you continue to support us this year and the coming years to come. God bless us all!
