Internship information
General Farm Description: An agriculture program focused on faith based stewardship of the land, Christian discipleship and world hunger relief. Genesis 2:15 reminds us that “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it.” This foundational mandate reveals God’s intent for humanity to steward creation as an act of worship. Agricultural discipleship is a recovery of that call - restoring the relationship between people and the land so that provision flows not just physically, but spiritually, as communities are equipped to flourish under God’s design.
