We work at the intersection of faith, farming, and business to change that. Following the Jesus Way, we step alongside Kingdom-minded agricultural businesses in emerging markets—from Panama to Central Asia—to help them thrive.

Board Chair Kevin Stark sat down to share more of the work YOU make possible around the world, and now that includes work in the tiny, beautiful African nation of Eswatini.

All year now, we’ve shared quick highlights of our board members, their backgrounds, contributions, and incredible service to the work of AgGrandize, and this month we’re happy to highlight our Board Chaplain, David Goodyear…

This month, we asked Cebo in Eswatini (Southern Africa) what this young partnership between Heart for Africa and AgGrandize has meant to his team.

Cebo manages Farm Edene as part of Heart for Africa’s agricultural effort in the region. His warm welcome to our team and friendly, relaxed demeanor helps make these visits such a joy for our team!

Ben’s journey from the US American agricultural industry to Central Asia reflects both a professional calling and a deeply personal mission.

What’s unfolding with his team on this farm is more than a project, it’s a process of testing and experimentation, of successes and failures as the team discovers what truly works on the field.

Better seeds, better practices, and a stronger agricultural foundation can ripple outward, affecting not just farms, but communities.

In the end, it all starts with a simple idea: help farmers start the season off strong, confident in what and how they’re planting.

From there, everything else can grow.

“I believe deeply in the work of AgGrandize,” James shared. “We’re operating at the intersection of agricultural development and Kingdom impact—helping communities move beyond subsistence into sustainable, thriving livelihoods.”

Think of all the times you hear how we need to ‘live like Jesus’ from the preacher or at a Bible study gathering, yet now often is that explained practically? The idea of how to practice a worthy walk is often left very vague.

How, then, shall we actually live?

“We have a major protein shortage in East Africa, and soy is packed with protein,” Charles shared as we bumped along the packed streets of Kampala. “In our culture, animal protein is prized and considered ideal, but many can’t afford it in the day-to-day. We believe soy could be a stopgap for many low-income families

Thanks for following along as our teams scout and support partner businesses around the world. Our Executive Director is in SE Asia this week as our Board Chair wraps up these moments in East Africa.

There's so much opportunity, and we're thrilled to be in this work with all of you, thank you!!

“My introduction to AgGrandize Global started with a chance meeting on a flight with Kevin Stark. Our conversation led to a follow-up meeting with Kevin and Justin Carney, where they shared the bold vision behind AgGrandize.”

Founded in 2010, Jubilee Farms has grown into a compassionate training center and community hub, where thousands of farmers are equipped not only with practical agricultural skills, but with hope and opportunity for true, sustainable work.

At the heart of this work is Silas, a Kenyan leader whose passion for training and community development has shaped Jubilee Farms from the very beginning.

Jesus’s disciples asked Him why He spoke in parables, and he responds that not everyone is interested in spiritual truth, understanding into the divine mysteries is only granted to those whose hearts are open to it.

Many good people of the past have longed to see what the disciples saw and to hear what they heard. Some were moved closer and others moved further away by the words…

Thanks to all you Summit supporters and prayer warriors back home who helped get the Joseph Network to this point. We knew a Summit in India would look different from past years in Central Asia, yet there was so much overlap as God moved in similar yet surprising ways.

As a faith-based agricultural development organization, we focus on scouting out partnerships with the right people, in the right place, and for the right reasons.

But when those things align in partnership, whole regions can flourish…

On a recent whirlwind tour visiting partners in East Africa, our Africa Team Lead, Christian Rath, got to stop at a very special community in rural Kenya.

Happy 2026! The past year was marked by new partnerships (both financial and programmatic), an expanding Joseph Summit, and more exciting opportunities than our team can manage.

When we heard about this rural Kenyan community working for sustainability for orphans through agriculture, you know we had to learn more. Our Board Chaplain, David Goodyear, has spent a lot of time in East Africa supporting The James Project, and it’s been a joy to go deeper with Meshach and Elizabeth, the founders.

A scout team recently returned from a visit to Panama, where the Brontide Corporation hosted and gave us a tour of their underwater seaward farming operation!

Below are a few of our favorite moments and photos.

Ecclesiastes 11 invites us into a posture of faithful action in the middle of uncertainty.

The passage opens with a big, bold charge: “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.” It’s a call to step forward—to risk, to engage new opportunities, and to do so with wisdom and preparation.

Growth rarely happens without movement…
