Agricultural Seeds and Farm Implements Program |
Our strength:
WJFB's program of agriculture consists of food growing, food processing
and food preserving. It is based on the following eternal principle of life:
There is a miracle of life
that is waiting in the heart of
a seed that could produce tons of food for the hungry.
As long as there is cultivable
land in any country and the supply of water, the miracle of food production
can be achieved by the willing human hands. We have been blessed to
create this miracle in two different continents: Russia / Eastern
Europe, and Mexico. Instead of providing daily hand-outs to the poor,
they have and continue to grow and depend on their sustainable food growing
and food processing. Following countries in question will illustrate the
point of prosperity for the poor
