Farming God’s Way Training June 8-12, 2026 9:00AM-5:00PM
Come join us for a five-day, action-packed, hands-on journey into Farming God's Way.
This practical, biblically grounded approach to agriculture is helping restore land, strengthen families, and bring lasting hope to communities around the world. More than a classroom experience, this is learning by doing—out in the field, side by side, where principles come alive through practice.
Farming God’s Way equips individuals, families, and communities with time-tested, God-designed principles that meet real needs and help break cycles of poverty through faithful stewardship of the land.
Training will be led by certified Farming God’s Way trainer Aaron Toombs. Aaron, his wife Sara, and their children served with The Beersheba Project in Senegal, West Africa, for 18 years, using Farming God’s Way to strengthen food security, disciple communities, and train local farmers.

Come ready to get your hands dirty, learn deeply, and leave encouraged—equipped with a practical, biblical approach to agriculture that brings hope, restores dignity, and grows lasting impact in communities.
This simple, biblically grounded approach offers a powerful response to the food security and poverty challenges facing agricultural communities—drawing on time-tested practices rooted in God’s design.
Farming God’s Way is a holistic model that meets small-scale farmers where they are, addressing the real challenges they face with practical, effective solutions. Around the world, countless testimonies tell the same story: when this method is applied faithfully, it leads to restored land, increased yields, improved profitability, and renewed dignity and purpose for farmers.
This resource is freely available to individuals, NGOs, missions, and churches seeking to make a meaningful impact in the communities they serve.
At its core, Farming God’s Way is built on three interconnected spheres: Biblical Principles, Management Practices, and Agricultural Technology. These are expressed through:
Biblical Keys Acknowledge God and God alone Consider your ways Understand God’s all-sufficiency What you sow, you will reap Bring tithes and offerings back to God Stake your claim
Management Keys Doing Things: On time To high standards With minimal waste With the fruit of the Spirit
Technology Keys No ploughing 100% soil coverage with “God’s Blanket” (2.5 cm thick) Practice biodiversity (crop rotation and companion planting) Feed plants from the top Ensure canopy cover Permanence
